FAITH CAPSULE: Are you an acclaimed believer not separated from telling lies, are you?
John 4
An acclaimed believer that hides hatred for another is a liar.
Are you having hatred for some, or focus hatred on a particular one?
Proverbs 10:18 identifies one with hatred rooted in heart, “Whoever hides hatred has lying lips.”
Are you a celebrated liar?
Are you a liar that claims to be a believer in the word of God?
A believer or unbeliever with hatred is taking a distance from God to experience hindered progress.
The Bible clearly states that anyone with lying lips hides hatred.
Jesus Christ did not hide hatred or tell lies in every step of His ministry.
Unlike Christ-like, many acclaimed believers minister in lies to manipulate and deceive, claiming God.
Are you an acclaimed believer that the truth of God increases through your lie to the glory of God? (Romans 3:7)
Know that God does not sleep.
God is the only judge of all lies under heaven.
Let your ministration and testimony not be colored with lies expecting to glorify God.
With truthfulness and no hatred, Jesus went through Samaria on His way from Judea to Galilee.
Going through Samaria is often forbidden by the Jews because of hatred for the Samarians.
Jesus came in love and could not walk outside of love.
Are you an acclaimed Christ-like with hatred rooted in your heart?
Is the influence of hatred causing you to sidetrack your calling?
At the hate-polluted route, Jesus was able to plant one of the most effective testimonies of salvation.
Jesus bypassed hatred to allow the revelation of living water to come to life and become more distinct.
In this route of hatred, He encountered a Samaritan woman to ask her for water to drink.
Jesus introduced the living water to the Samaritan woman because hatred did not influence Jesus.
Jesus knew that the woman had no what it takes to draw living water for Him to drink.
In this route, Jesus made it known to the Samaria woman, “…Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:13-14)
In the hatred route of sin, the Samaritan woman received the message of Jesus with joy and went to testify to Jesus.
The Samaritan woman had an encounter with Jesus to gain strength and a song of salvation.
The hatred route of sin could not derail nor deny Jesus from the business of the kingdom.
Are you on the right track of your calling but trapped by hatred?
Without a doubt, hatred encases pride, which is a ride to self-destruction.
Deny self; deny untruthfulness, to disallow hatred to come your way of calling.
With no hatred, serve as Christ alike.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you not to be a vessel of hatred.
