GOD DETESTS LIES
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you ever told lies to anyone?
Have you ever been lied to by someone?
The Lord detests lips that are continually deceiving
Lies can block us from truth and receive blessings.
Lies are works of the enemy
It keeps you in constant slavery
Keep your tongue from evil and speaking lies
Speaking untrue things can ruin your entire life.

One of the foundations of a good relationship is built on trust. When we don’t trust, it is impossible for us to have a healthy and thriving relationship. Trust is earned, it is never forced. We learn to trust as a result of being in safe situations, people and relations. We learn to trust early in life. Babies trust only those familiar faces they constantly see. They trust their mothers or caregivers because they see them constantly giving their needs. They learn to trust because these people keep them safe and secure.
I had a turbulent childhood where my trust was breached by all the people who were supposed to be responsible to care for me and keep me safe. I grew up surrounded by lies and unspoken truth. Because so many people betrayed my trust and never really cared about keeping me safe, it was hard to trust. God detests lies.
PRAYER
Lord, deliver me from liars and lies.
REFLECTION
How has lies and liars impacted your life?

The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in those who tell the truth.
– Proverbs 12:22 (NLT)
SPEAK THE TRUTH
A poem and essay by ILMA
Lies can be exposed when one know the truth
It is vital to seek God’s word to have the Spirit’s fruit
If we constantly seek to please the Lord
He will ensure our protection from fraud.
The Lord detests those who tell lies
It opens up the door for the enemy to entice
Speak the truth by declaring God’s word
It will cut the lies perpetuated in the world.
Can you detect when someone is lying? One can never know a person’s intention or motives when they say something. There is a way to know if someone lies to you. The spirit of God tells you. This is called the fruit of discernment or knowledge given to those who have been walking with the Lord. The world calls it a “hunch”, “intuition” or “gut feeling.” Because they do not know God and his word, they have a different term for it. You can also observe the actions of the person telling the lie. They can’t look at you in the eye.
The bible says the God detests lying lips but he delights in those who tell the truth. The only way we can speak the truth is if we know the word of God.
PRAYER
Lord, deliver me from liars.
REFLECTION
Why do you think God hates liars?
