But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. – Romans 1:18(NLT)
WHEN TRUTH IS SUPPRESSED
A poem and essay by ILMA
Those who are suppressing truth through evil
Their minds have been corrupted by the devil
When truth is suppressed by wickedness
The Lord’s anger will eventually manifest.
Defend the truth and allow it to spread
When you do, you let God be your head
The truth sets you free and makes you see
Never permit anyone to tarnish and suppress it.

John 10:10 says that the enemy’s purpose is to kill, steal and destroy. Satan will do anything and everything to distort the truth and blind people. He uses wickedness to stop the truth from being exposed. Instead, he lies to us or gives us half-truths so that we will be confused and not know it. He can use situations, hurts and people to suppress the truth through wickedness. The devil keeps people from knowing the truth. The more we listen to the enemy’s lies, the further away he will keep us from God’s perspective. When truth is suppressed, there will be a consequence to those who stops others from knowing the truth. For as long as we embrace wickedness, the wrath of God is not far. He is a forgiving God but the bible also says that he will judge all evil and wickedness rightfully.________________________________________
PRAYER
Lord, deliver me from people who suppress the truth.
REFLECTION
How can one stand up for truth and be bold to declare it?

If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts. – 1 John 1:8,10(NLT)
IF WE CLAIM WE ARE SINLESS
A poem and essay by ILMA
All of mankind have an inclination to sin
We all need a Savior to help us win
If we claim we have no sin, we are fools
We are in denial and not thinking it through.
If we continue to believe that we are sinless
We are calling God a liar and we are faithless
Only Jesus is without sin despite being a human
Only he can claim he is sinless though he was a man.
________________________________________
I don’t know of anyone who have never ever sinned in his or her life. Some people are blinded by the enemy to think that they are sinless. I think only those who do not know the truth can ever think that they have no sin. Once you get revelations about the truth in God’s word, you will have light and wisdom to admit that you can never be sinless because that is our nature as humans. Those who claim that they are sinless are only fooling themselves and not living in truth. Making such a claim is a defiance to God’s truth.
PRAYER
Lord, give me a heart that examines my deeds in your eyes.
REFLECTION
Why do you think some people claim they are without sin?
