Sometimes we have the belief that telling a lie can set us free’, or protect our images. Some believe that it is necessary for someone to lie in order cover-up their image, or get the good things they want in life.
Beloved, our God will never glorify Himself in any form of lie. Those who believe in this doctrine; ‘it is good to tell lies to save or get what you want,’ limits God. To such people, God cannot do all things, making Him a liar.
To lie and get want you want is a spirit of witchcraft because that is bewitching; you control others with lies in your favor, and God has nothing to do with witchcraft. Those who lie to get anything they want, can also do anything to get what they want, even if when it is necessary to kill, they will.
Some will lie to go into a covenant or agreement with the purpose of getting what they want. In such a case, one lies to commit the other party because he/she knows that God hates and doesn't allow any covenant or agreement to be broken.
Beloved, whether it is a covenant of business or marriage, never go into it with lies. Anything that is based on lies, God is not in it, because God is truth. If your supposed business partner or spouse cannot accept your limits or buts, don't go into any form of covenant or agreement with them. Be honest and be truthful about yourself, and if anyone cannot accept your honesty and truthfulness, let them stay away from your life. But if you choose to go into any covenant or agreement with lies, you are only doing it because of greed and selfishness.
We are in a time when many businesses are not working because their partners walked out from them for certain or unknown reasons. We are also in time when divorce rates are getting higher.
God hates covenants that are broken, and He equally hates those founded on lies. So, before you invest into a business with someone, be honest and truthful about your limits. Or before you get into marriage, be very honest, truthful and clear to your supposed spouse. If you have certain medical issues that you knew about, or you are a single parent, or you the bread winner of your family, or you came from poor or humble background, or you have certain buts, be clear about it, if he/she agrees to go into a marital covenant with you in any of these conditions, God has your back.
Any covenant or agreement made in a clean and clear, God backs and validates it, and both parties must respect that to the end. Going out of such covenant or agreement is always a sin before God.
The scriptures says: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. -John 8:32 KJV
God who hates anyone to break a covenant or agreement, also said, you shall know the truth, and that truth you know shall set you free. If you made a covenant or agreement based on lies and deceit, and the other party involved later realizes it with solid proves, he/she has the choice to walk out from that covenant or agreement freely and God will not hold that as sin. God hates divorce, but also hates relationships that are based on lies and deceits. God will never be glorified in lies and deceits.
Every covenant or agreement has its own terms and conditions. Be faithful to those terms and conditions inf your businesses or marriages. Breaking those terms and conditions, is what we called unfaithfulness. Again, your business partner or spouse has the choice to walk out free if they have solid proves of your unfaithfulness, and God will not hold that as sin against them.
If you are guilty of lying to your business partner or spouse, you can confess your sins to him/ her, God will forgive you and your partner or spouse too. Remember, forgiveness means new life and you cannot go back to your old life of lying.
Remember, our God is truth, faithful, and He expects these ethics from you in your dealings with others.
