FAITH CAPSULE: Do you know if you are a wicked believer?
Jeremiah 12
Are you constantly found on the ground of truth?
Many are preaching or writing to communicate the word of God, but far living by the word of God communicated.
Jeremiah asked God about having the word of God in the mouth but far from the heart as wicked.
Jeremiah 12:1-2 records, “Righteous are You, O Lord when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; They grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth But far from their mind.”
Are you an acclaimed believer who is a wicked one?
The truth is hard to accept.
The issue that revolves around not telling the truth is deception and manipulation.
One that is not telling the truth is twisting the truth of God.
Living by the truth of God is evidence of knowing the truth of God, not just knowing about the word of God.
One who is not telling the truth of God will be twisting the truth of God as a liar.
Twisting the truth of God is wickedness and not near to God.
Are you far from God, twisting the truth of God?
Are you comfortable in the company of twisting the truth of God?
There is no excuse before God for twisting the truth.
Do you know the truth of God?
There is a need to answer to the truth of God by testifying the truth.
John 8:32 records, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
The word of God is God, and His word is truth.
How near are we to God to be free from the wiles of this wicked world?
Get to know the truth of God to be free in the wicked world.
Truth is the way to live life, answering the calling of God.
John 14:6 records the word of Jesus, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
The truth of God is the only way to walk with God.
The truth of God is not of the world of wickedness.
Truthfully, the truth of God does not compromise with lies and not of the wicked world.
The truth of God makes telling lies uncomfortable wherever it exists.
The truth of God is threatening the world of wickedness.
When the truth is steady to expose lies, it is often mistaken for being slow.
Give yourself to the word of God to attain perfection in Christ Jesus as
Colossians 1:28 buttress, “Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.”
Search for yourself to determine your stand before God.
One twisting the truth before God is withdrawn from God to live a life as an agent of evil.
Prayer for today: Pray not to live a life of waste.
