Proverbs 6:16-19
[16] These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 
[17] A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, 
[18] A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, 
[19] A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.

Acts 5:1-11
[1] But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. 
[2] And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 
[3] But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 
[4] While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” 
[5] Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. 
[6] And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him. 
[7] Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 
[8] And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?” She said, “Yes, for so much.” 
[9] Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 
[10] Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 
[11] So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Tuesday, 18th August, 2026.

Lying is another sin that God hates. John 8:44 reveals that lying is a characteristic of the devil who is the father of lies. All liars are children of the devil. Lying simply means not telling the truth or telling a half truth. It also involves projecting a false image.

As much as people of the world try to normalise lying, God's standard remains the same. All lying is sin. You may tell yourself that you applied wisdom, or that you were diplomatic. It's all one and the same thing. The sin of lying is what landed Ananias and Sapphira in an early grave. They thought they were smart just like many people today erroneously think. Unfortunately for them, they lost their lives.

Lying is not limited to verbal untruths. A person can live a lie, in which case everything about such a person is false. There are people who pretend to be rich just to earn human validation. Those are liars. All those who are living fake lives are students in the school of lying. The ones who present a false image of themselves on social media in order to please known or unknown people are also enrolled in the school of lying. All attempts to hide, cover or twist the truth are equal to lies.

Beloved, we are still in the period of grace. There is still room to repent and return to your Father in heaven. The devil, whom you serve by lying, has nothing to offer you except eternal condemnation. You may think you are smart or that you have escaped punishment temporarily, but what of the eternal punishment? I advise you to follow the example of Moses who chose to suffer with the people of God rather than enjoy the pleasures of Egypt. If you fall into sin, it is better you confess and ask for forgiveness rather than lie and escape temporarily. Better still, ask God for grace to always do things right so that you don't find yourself in a situation where you have to tell a lie. May the Lord help you, in Jesus' name.
