Lie

Once upon a time in mainland China is a man who managed to become a member of a royal orchestra, although he can not play the flute. Every time the orchestra was playing, he put the flute to his mouth and pretended to play even if not issued any one sound. He got a salary, although not too big and enjoy a decent life.

Then one time the emperor interested to ask for a solo game of every orchestra player, flute players became nervous, he pretended to be sick but the emperor's physician was not deceived. On the day he must face the king to play solo, he drank poison and died. He refused to reveal his deceit he preferred to die to solve the problem. Some of us are living a lie, some of us who walk in the dark shadows.

Ananias and Sapphira lie cause death, they sold a parcel of land and half of the results was donated to the church. They lied to Peter and the Apostles by saying that the land was sold for the amount they donate. Not because of their sins aside some money for myself but for not stating the truth. Fraud they end in death. Luke writes: "So all the people believe it and other people, who heard about the event, to be afraid" (Acts 5:11).

Results of fraud still end up to death, not physical death but death will be familiarity, trust, peace, prosperity, credibility and dignity. But perhaps the most heartbreaking deaths caused by fraud is our witness whether God will use us as a witness if we do not speak according to truth?
Similarly, we lie. There are among us who have buried a marriage, lie to your husband or wife, most of our consciences hide because we want to get more than others but at the expense of others and even a large part of our faith hidden to a tolerance that is not pleasing to God everything just because we do not want to tell the truth.

If we are faithful in small things, He will trust us with big things.
Matthew 25:21 "And the lord said unto him, Well done, my good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful in small matters, I will give you responsibility in a large case. Come and participate in the bliss is your master. "
Do we have a problem, where we are temporarily considered to uncover the real truth?
God always reveal the truth, when He made the agreement He will keep to it. If He makes a statement, He was holding on to the statement. And if He stated the truth, we can trust it. What He said is true. "If we are faithless, He remains faithful because He can not conflict with himself" (2 Timothy 2:13).

At times we do not honestly ask ourselves, whether God will bless my deception? Did He who hates lies will bless strategy built on lies? Does God, who loved the truth, will bless the business that was built with a lie? Will God appreciates a manipulator? Will God help the fraudster? Will God bless my dishonesty?
Check our hearts, ask ourselves whether we are honest with our spouses and our children? Do we have stated the truth? If not, start today!
Do not wait until tomorrow because of the ripple lie today, tomorrow will be a wave of fraud that will bring floods of death in the future.
