*DAILY DEW 8/JANUARY/2023* *The Last Days in The New Year* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron* (1 Timothy 4:2 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Even when you refuse to turn your back from the faith, the enemy still has lots of schemes to use against believers and non-believers alike in these last days. I was in a meeting the other day, and the issue of adjusting age for the sake of getting an appointment came up. This was a meeting of believers. And one of us was bold and firm to assert that there is nothing wrong with reducing your age in order to secure a job even as a Christian. His idea was that God can use even such to bless or help the person. I was so vexed in my Spirit that such a position was even up for debate. Just how can the lie not be so glaring to a believer? We are living in days of classic hypocrisy and double standards that promotes lying and lack of integrity. When situations and circumstances come calling you to compromise, to state some half truths, to deny the factual, to adjust something that is true to something that is convenient but exaggerated, remember there is a spirit of the last days at work. Its aim is to suck you up into the mess. Its aim is to make you no different than the unsaved. Beware. When you adjust the truth just a little in the course of negotiating a business deal, or presenting a proposal, answering questions in an interview, etc does your conscience prick you or you simply rationalize and commonize it and wave it off!? When you tell your (intending) spouse or business partner something that is less than the actual fact, do you dismiss it as a mere diplomatic move or an economize presentation of truth? Beware! Remember the lying spirit that possessed the prophets of old? (1 Kings 22:22) Such is happening again in these last days only that this time, the Lord is not behind it, but the devil is in the details literally. _MEDITATION:_ *"For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth."* --- Bo Bennett *"A harmful truth is better than a useful lie."* --- Thomas Mann *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
