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?
ℙℝ𝔸𝕐𝔼ℝ ℙ𝕆𝕀ℕ𝕋𝕊:
𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆
1. Blood of Jesus Christ purge my life of every leaven of hypocrisy, in the name of Jesus Christ.
2. My life will not cooperate with the enemy for destruction, in the name of Jesus Christ.

4. Manipulation from the pit of hell targeted at my spirit man, die in the name of Jesus Christ.
5. Every trap of darkness set against my soul, catch fire and burn to ashes, in the name of Jesus Christ.
6. My inner man receive fresh fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.
7. Glory of the Living God, overshadow my life, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Romans_5-8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Last week, we continued with the series on OBEDIENCE by studying: Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice. Today, we shall focus on the fact that disobedience leads to sin and death. Obedience has been severally defined since we commenced the series as compliance with an order, request, or law especially in deference to a higher authority. We learnt about the rewards that follow complete obedience; while being reminded that partial obedience is no obedience.
May we receive that grace to be fully obedient in all things in Jesus’ name, Amen!
OUTLINE 1: DISOBEDIENCE LEADS TO SIN
Disobedience in this instance means partial obedience or complete turn away from God’s ways/directives. Some instances:
Impatience leads to disobedience.
King Saul in 1 Sam 13:10-12 offered burnt offering that was to be performed by Samuel. One of the virtues of the fruit of the spirit is longsuffering [patience]. Gal 5:22.
Disobedience can lead to loss of authority/position.
King Saul feared the people, was stubborn and disobeyed Gods’ directives. 1 Samuel 15:22-24 & 26. No amount of our sacrifice can atone for disobedience; as Jesus Christ had made the ultimate sacrifice for us, Hebrews 10:10. Obedience is better than sacrifice.
Disobedience triggers the wrath of God.
In Joshua 6:17-19; God gave instruction that in Jericho; only Rehab the harlot and her family should be spared. But in Joshua 7:1, Achan took the accursed thing. This led to defeat of Israel by Ai. Thirty-six [36] men were killed because of God’s wrath. Also, in our text: Romans 5:19, the disobedience of Adam & Eve triggered the entrance of sin.
You reap what you sowed.
Gal 6:7-8 is apt. Partaking in the holy communion unworthily is an act of disobedience. 1 Corinthians 11:27-30. Verse 30 harps on spiritual death.
OUTLINE 2: DISOBEDIENCE LEADS TO DEATH
Death in this instance refers to spiritual and, in some cases, physical. Spiritual death is being alienated from the life of God [Romans 6:23]. Consider the following:
The case of Adam and Eve
Gen 2:16-17. God’s instructions to Adam were clear and straightforward. Both disobeyed and realized they were naked; a sign of spiritual deadness, Gen 3:6-7. As in Adam all die …. 1 Corinthians 15:22.
Is your spiritual garment in place?
Rev 16:15 enjoins us to watch [be vigilant/avoid disobedience] and keep our garment, otherwise we walk naked and subjected to shame. A word of advice in Luke 21:36.
There is an escape route from spiritual death.
John 3:16 is an escape route from spiritual death. If we obey, there is the assurance of everlasting life. John 8:51 is a reassurance that if we obey, we can never see spiritual death.
OUTLINE 3: DISOBEDIENCE THAT LED TO SIN, SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL DEATH
1 Kings 13:1-26. A classic case of what we learnt today. Disobedience leads to sin,
Spiritual death, and even physical death.
CONCLUSION
The consequences of disobedience are too grievous to be ignored. Let us watch and pray that we will not be led into temptation [Matthew 6:13]. May the Lord release unto us the grace to flee from all appearance of evil [1 Thess 5:22].
Thank You Jesus,

John_14-6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me
Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.
In Romans chapter one, we learn about the unrighteousness of man. In chapter two, Paul addresses our self-righteousness; our desire to consider ourselves better than everybody else. Nobody wants to be called self-righteous, yet we quickly judge others. Friend, be aware of your weakness and sinfulness. If you think that once you became a Christian you stopped sinning, you should check out the passage below:
1 John 1:8-10NKJV
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
Judge yourself. If you look long at the sins of others and not enough at your own sins, you will develop spiritual pride, which is a stench to God. Have you ever looked at someone and thought there was no hope for them? Well, then, you are saying that God’s mercy is limited. You pridefully say that your sins are covered, but others are not.
Every person needs God’s saving power and grace, whether we deem them good people or not. Stop and think… How much have you been forgiven? Does this mean we cannot speak into others’ lives? We can and should, but not in condemnation. Just as God has heaped His grace so abundantly on you, in discernment, you can speak into someone’s life from your experiences with an attitude of love peppered with grace.
You cannot condemn someone and offer hope simultaneously. The moment we start to condemn people is the moment we forget our mission. What is our mission? Our mission is to tell people about Jesus Christ.
Life Lesson:
Seeing the evil in others does not root out the evil in you.
Dear God,
Thank You for forgiving me of my sins. I am so grateful for Your grace. Please forgive me for times when I, in my own pride, looked at someone else and condemned them in my mind. Please give me opportunities to tell people about Christ Jesus. Thank You Heavenly Father for in Jesus Christ mighty name I pray! Amen.
If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Luke_6-37: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven
Where you sow will determine what you will reap. In the parable of the sower, four soils were identified, but only one brought forth harvests; the other three soils yielded nothing (Mark 4:3-8). I pray for you today; you will not sow on barren soils, in Jesus’ name.
A barren soil can be a person, an organisation, or even a house. Some people move into a new house, and everything that was working for them suddenly stops working. Some get into a new relationship or start a new business partnership, and everything they have built over the years crumbles. Jehoshaphat is an example of a fellow who entered into partnerships with people who were barren soils. Even though he was a righteous man, he entered into relationships with ungodly people. First, he became friends with Ahab, a sinful and wicked king, and almost lost his life in battle, but for God’s intervention (1 Kings 22:1-33). Then, as we read in today’s Bible reading, he joined himself with Ahab’s son, Ahaziah, another wicked king, and together, they made ships to go to Tarshish. The ships were destroyed, and the planned voyage failed because Jehoshaphat was partnering with someone who was a barren soil.
Who you partner with in life and destiny matters a lot. If you partner with a wicked man, your efforts will be wasted because God is angry with the wicked every day (Psalm 7:11). I pray for you; may you never partner with someone who is marked for destruction by heaven. May your efforts not be destroyed because of the partnerships you make, in Jesus’ Name! Amen!
A disobedient fellow is another dangerous person to partner with. When you partner with such a person, you are sowing on concrete ground because disobedience shuts the heavens over a person. Jonah is an example of such a fellow; he put the people on the ship he boarded to Tarshish in trouble because of his disobedience. Although they didn’t lose their lives, they lost their properties because of one disobedient passenger (Jonah 1:1-5). When you join yourself to a disobedient person, you will suffer losses. In the name above every other name, I pray that you will be disconnected from every disobedient person who will make you suffer for what you know nothing about, in Jesus Christ Mighty Name I pray! Amen!
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please help me not to associate with unfruitful partners in Jesus Christ Mighty Name! Amen!.

When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
John 19:30
1-Corinthians_1-18: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God
When Jesus went to the cross, He didn’t die for a possibility of salvation. He didn’t give His life on the outside chance it would work. No, He came to earth, humbling Himself, and died willingly in your place so that for all who know Him, there would be a guarantee of eternal salvation.
All you have to do is accept the victory of Jesus Christ—what He accomplished for you upon the cross. When you do, peace will come into your heart and the war will be done. Just as He proclaimed on the cross, “It is finished,” that battle over condemning sin will be eternally finished in your life!
In Christ, The Battle Against Condemning Sin Is Over! So Trust Fully In His Saving Work For You On The Cross.
Romans_12-2: And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God

Hebrews_4-16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. .God’s Throne Of Grace
Hebrews 10:22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
I would like you to imagine this scenario: You borrow a huge sum of money from a friend and promise to pay him back in six months’ time. When the time comes, you feel really bad because you cannot repay him as you don’t have the money. A year rolls by without you repaying a cent. Now, you feel extremely guilty. You try to avoid your friend because you are too embarrassed and ashamed to see him.
Let’s say that your best friend hears about your plight. Out of the goodness of his heart, he goes to your creditor and says, “Look, I understand that my best friend owes you money.”
“Yes, he owes me N50,000.”
“Here is N100,000. I am paying you on his behalf.”
Your creditor says, “No, no, no! He owes me only N50,000.”
Your best friend says, “I know. But take the N100,000 so that you can never say that he still owes you money.”
Now, your debt has been paid, in fact, more than paid. But if you don’t know or believe this, that debt will still be on your conscience. You will still be afraid to see your creditor. And you will avoid him because he reminds you of your debt.
My friend, you need to know that Jesus was an overpayment when He offered Himself as your sin offering, because of the quality and worth of the Man Himself. My friend, He overpaid for your sins when He became your sacrifice on the cross.
But if you don’t know or believe this, you will suffer as your unbelief will rob you of assurance, joy and peace. You will still have debt on your conscience. Even though God is not imputing sin to you (Romans 4:8), sin is still on your conscience. And as long as sin is on your conscience, you won’t dare to draw near to Him.
Beloved, the truth is that your sins have been more than paid for. Jesus was an overpayment. So draw near to God today with no sin on your conscience!
Thank You Jesus!

Proverbs_14-34: Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people
INTRODUCTION
John_5-24: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life
According to the word of God in Proverbs 14:34, sin is a reproach to anyone who is still toying with it. Just as the contemporary global disease called AIDS i.e. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, sin is a deadly disease to any man or woman living with it.
Psalms_119-11: Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Some Dangers Of A Sinful Life
Romans_3-23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Satan never mentions the consequences of sin. He never mentions the psychological trauma that follows an abortion. He never mentions the dirty feeling of being used after sleeping with your date that haunts your marriage relationship years later. He never mentions the panic and fear that grip you every time you answer the phone after cheating on your tax return. There are serious consequences to sin. Always. Without exception. Adam ate the forbidden fruit his wife had offered, “Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked” (Gen. 3:7, NIV).
Satan had told Eve her eyes would be opened and she would be like God, knowing good and evil. In one sense he had been right. Eve’s eyes were opened, but in a grotesque way. She knew good, but also that she was separated from it. She knew evil because now she was saturated in it. She knew good and evil in a way God never intended her to know — through her own experience. And she was deeply ashamed.

2-Chronicles_7-14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land
There was a time when Christians would not dare to look at some of the things we are now seeing every day. We are gradually taking in the amusements and the pleasures until our spiritual life is being dulled and the Bible no longer has the glow to it. The time of prayer no longer has the desire that it used to have. You know that is true. We need to repent of our sins.
I am convinced that our nation is in peril. The handwriting is on the wall. The signs of the times are everywhere. People cannot long continue in their moral degeneracy. A cancer is eating at the heart and core of our way of life.
The Bible says that we are to humble ourselves. No man or woman can come to the kingdom of God proudly. You must come in humility.

Galatians_6-9: And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not
Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.– (Galatians 6:1)
The way some people behave, you would think that the Bible says, “If another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should first gloat about it and make sure that you condemn him or her for it. Then proceed to tell as many people as possible.”
The Bible doesn’t say that, of course. Here is what it does say: “Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself” (Galatians 6:1).
The idea is to lift up those who are overtaken by sin, not condemn them. The idea is to restore—not destroy—them. Notice this verse says, “You who are godly.” A truly godly man or woman will seek to restore such a person. James 5:19–20 tells us, “My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back from wandering will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.”
One day, God forbid, it could be you. We should never lower our guard or rest on our laurels spiritually. No matter how long you have known the Lord, don’t think that you are above falling, because you could fall. Any believer could. That is why we want to always be moving forward, walking with God and progressing spiritually. We never want to coast along in neutral.
And if you know someone who has fallen into sin, then your goal should be to restore, not to destroy. Your goal should be to help him or her, because the next time it could be you.
