MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
God cannot and does not lie. Consequently, He expects His children to embrace the same virtue. Jesus is the Truth and He is the same with the Father whose Word is the Truth. God Himself is the Word, therefore, God is the Truth. Lies, falsehood, deception and every kind of dishonesty cannot be found in Him or in His kingdom.

Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden of Eden and also lied by shifting blames. Adam blamed the woman, and the woman blamed the serpent. Trying to hide your weaknesses or refusing to accept responsibility amounts to falsehood. Cain inherited this evil habit from his parents. He gave a stupid excuse to God who knows it all, when God asked him about his brother, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” (Genesis 4:9).
Achan stole the Babylonian garment, contrary to divine instructions, and hid it. Israel suffered defeat and God revealed to Joshua that there was sin in the camp. Unfortunately, Achan didn’t suffer alone for his sin; his entire family was stoned to death (Joshua 7). This is one of the gruesome consequences of dishonesty. For Gehazi, he disobeyed his Master, Elisha, and received Naaman’s gifts out of greed and covetousness. When Elisha asked him about his whereabouts, he replied with a lie. Gehazi earned the transgenerational curse of leprosy as a result (2 Kings 5:20-27).
Rachel, the wife of Jacob, stole her father’s idols, sat on it and gave the excuse that she was on her monthly flow (Genesis 31:33-34). She died and did not get a befitting burial (Genesis 35:16-20). Rebecca too helped Jacob earlier to deceive his father in order to take Esau’s blessing (Genesis 27:6-13). These and more are examples of liars from the scriptures. God is never happy with any form of dishonesty.
Beloved, dishonesty is a sin. Scriptures point clearly to that. If God hates it, then, you can’t embrace it. Sin separates men from God. Desist from it. Remember that God is not interested in the death of sinners but that they repent and come to the knowledge of Truth.
