A certain story:

A young man was told by his father to build a house.

The guy went about actively, taking funds from his father and doing everything possible to see that the building was completed.

After a period of time, the house was completed. He took the Bunch of Keys and said: Take dad, I these are the keys to your house. The dad looked at him and said: Son, take the keys… The House is YOURS. It’s my Final Gift for you.

The young man fell on the ground and begins to cry.

He cried not because he was overjoyed. The young man cried because he used Cheap & inferior materials in building the House; with thinking that he was a smart guy making good money from his father.

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. Ref. James ch 1 vs 21-25; 1st John ch 1 vs 5-10; 1st Sam 15: 10; Acts ch 5:1.

God’s word does not lie, and no matter how hard we try to bend it or shake it, it stands true. Nowadays people use the term ”Born again Christian”. It is supposed to mean Christians that are in right standing with God i.e. Christians that are righteous in the sight of God. However, that term would be irrelevant if we truly abide by God’s word & Standard. A Christian is a person who believes that Christ came to the world to save him, and accepts this salvation of love. We should learn to live and act in this definition. When we do, it would reflect in our way of life.

With the kind of society we find ourselves, we are tempted daily to want to trust in our own wisdom and cleverness. In other to survive, we lie, cheat and take advantage of people all to make a little more (money, fame or power). This is Wrong.

Selling inferior products at the price of the Original is wrong. Changing financial estimates, reports & stuff in other to get more returns is wrong. Cheating in Order to pass an exam is wrong.

So many of us have been so corrupted with this seed such; that people don’t believe words that come out from our mouths anymore.

When we fail to be honest to ourselves, we find it difficult to be honest with/to others; how can we then be honest with God?

Some facts you should know:

* The only person a dishonest person really cheats is himself.

* When you are NOT honest in life, things get harder for you.

* The more we do the wrong things, the more we lose the sense of difference between good and evil.

* In life, if you do the ‘hard’ stuffs first, things tend to get easier from there.

* Why we act Dishonest?

Our Struggle for Survival- There is always a positive option friend.

Scared of Pain/Punishment – If you sleep in the Pillow of Comfort at your early stage, the foam of pain is waiting for you in your latter stage.

Search for Approval- Saul’s search for d people’s approval made him dishonest with God, Causing him the loss of his crown.

NB: When we learn to be honest in the simple things of life, we can then be honest with people around us and God. The growth of a nation is dependent on the sincerity of the people in it. Pls remember. A House (mansion, edifice) that is built on a sandy foundation cannot last long.

Have a Lovely week.

Yours in Trust.
