Hypocrisy is an evil leaven that contaminates the soul and makes the carrier an abomination to God. The English word Hypocrisy is from the Greek, hypocrisy which means acting on a stage. To play a role that is not real or natural by the actor. It also means to pretend to be what one is not. Therefore, a hypocrite is a pretender claiming to be what he is not. He is an actor assuming an unnatural role. Hypocrisy is a grievous sin against the Holy Spirit of God. The story of Ananias and Sapphira is a classic example of the insidious art of hypocrisy, the portrait of hypocrite, the grave consequences of hypocrisy and the demonstration of the grave displeasure of God towards any hypocritical act.

According to the account of today’s Fire Scripture, the Christian couple, Ananias and Sapphira, on their own volition, decided to sell their family landed property in order to bring the proceeds thereof to support the work of God, in the first century Church. Unfortunately, the old man hijacked their good intention. They pretended and lied that they declared the actual amount they sold their property. It would not have been counted against them if they had explained the situation as it really happened by saying, “Well we sold it for so much, but because of pressing family needs, we deducted a certain amount and have brought the remaining balance for the Church.” They rendered less and claimed that they rendered all. This falsehood was nothing but hypocrisy which was counted against them as lying to the Holy Spirit. Their tainted good intention brought sudden destruction upon them because it was spiced with the leaven of hypocrisy and served with the dish of pretence.

Beloved, hope you are not guilty of hypocritical lifestyle like Brother Ananias and Sister Sapphira. Are you reducing what you should have rendered to God in full measure and you are now claiming that you are giving your utmost?

Daily Confession: Declare God’s praises, deliverance, increase, and your destined purpose. Speak life and Kingdom living today!


DAILY CONFESSION

I will bless the Lord at all time and His praises shall continually be in my mouth. I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears. I look unto the Lord and I was lightened, and my face was not ashamed. (Ps. 34:1-4)

The Lord will increase my greatness and comfort me on every side. The beauty of the Lord is upon me. The Lord will establish the work of my hands. I will lend unto nations and borrow from none. I will not go out in haste, nor go by flight; for the Lord will go before me and the God of Israel will be my reward. His kindness shall not depart from me, neither shall His covenant of peace be removed. (Psalm 71: 21, Ps 90:17, Deut. 15: 6, Isa 52:12, Isa 54:10)

Every day and in every way I am getting better: spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, morally, and in all my endeavours.

I am called for a purpose; I will fulfill this purpose and I will arrive at Godโ€™s ordained destiny for my life. Nothing will cut me short. I will make a formidable impact in my world for the Kingdom. Therefore, I declare that I am a person of integrity, I am spiritually fervent, and I am accountable in all I do because Iโ€™ve been raised to live the Kingdom Life here on earth.

In Jesus Christ Mighty Name I pray and make these confessions! Amen!

It is my day of Rest!

Dignity (Summary)


Preacher: Pastor Tunde Netufo

            This morning by the grace of God, the title of my message today is โ€œDignityโ€. When you talk about dignity, itโ€™s a state or quality of being worthy of respect or honor, Judges 9: 8 โ€“ 15.

From our text, we find what I call a typical case of an allegory. An allegory is a story that illustrates a case; an allegory is a story or an account that also gives an account of another account. Something that is symbolic and typical in nature.

We found the story of trees that desired a king, moving from one tree to the other asking them to come and become king and how they were turning it down; once they turn down, they go to the other until it gets to the last one who accepted to be king. The olive, the vine and the fig tree declined the offer of kingship because they believe in themselves and much more in what they bring to the table and that leads us to the first question, how much do you believe in yourself? How much do you believe in what you are doing?

The olive tree stood by its office of honoring God and men; among the various oils, olive is the most important and expensive.

The fig is the most valuable tree in Philistines; it is a tree with many branches and people find shade under it.

The vine tree is the most important of them all; today, it remains in the process of producing wine which (of course) has traveled all over the world because it refused to remain in the forest.

However, the bramble tree accepted the offer and became the tree of the forest; it failed to appreciate its value and today, of all the trees, itโ€™s the cheapest and youโ€™ll find it in the bush.

So how do we dignify our effort this year? How do we maximize our value so that we can get the best result as we journey into year 2025?

  • Learn to attach great value to whatever position you find yourself, this is because value will propel us to the next level, Romans 11: 13.
  • You must value your Christian life if you want to go to heaven, 1st Peter 2: 9.
  • Dignify yourself.
  • You must be a good time manager.
  • Cultivate the habit of reading.
  • You must be a man of integrity, Psalms 101: 2, Psalms 15: 1 โ€“ 5.
  • Prudency is key to right and creative leadership, Proverbs 14: 15 โ€“ 16.
