DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ST. JOHN 4:24

(24)  God is a Spirit:  and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

IN SPIRIT, IN TRUTH!

Grace be unto you!

The Spirit of God is a truthful spirit;  therefore, he cannot and will not tolerate it when his children fabricate stories to deceive one another before him;  you see!  from generation to present times, some people have taken the delight in deceptions and have lied to God, their maker, sworn under the oath in the judicial system to speak the truth, nothing but the truth, yet has spoken deceptive stories to get themselves or others out of troubled times or sworn by the name of God, to falsely witnessed deceptions for or against one another.

The propensity of man to indulge in lies originated from the garden of Eden, the serpent deceived Eve, to partake of the forbidden fruit, she willfully corporated with the beast, convinced his partner Adam, who also ate the fruit, through their disobedience, sin entered into the world;  nonetheless, when God, realized that they have erred through their sinful behaviors, questioned Adam of what had happened to them, Adam first lied, saying, the woman that you gave me to be with, she gave me the fruit to eat it, then the woman also said, the serpent deceived me and I eat it; cf. Genesis chapter 3;  therefore, telling lies is in the nature of man, however, when Jesus Christ redeem us, he also gave us his true character to live in righteousness. 

Secondly, Cain the son of Adam, argued on the field with his brother Abel, struck and killed him, yet when the LORD questioned him of Abel's whereabouts he also lied, saying, I know not, am I my brother's keeper? read Genesis chapter 4;  there are many more narratives in the scriptures where others have lied to free themselves from facing the truth of matters;  the point is, the spirit of God is truthful, if his spirit lives within us, then we can to be truthful as well;  it is the choice that we make, either to allow the sinful natures of Adam and Eve the power to overshadow the spirit of God within us, to indulge in the habits of deceptions. 

God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth;  therefore, be a spiritual and truthful Christian, never fake anything before God and to the congregation in which you worship but be genuine in all your ways:  I assume that you worship God on a regular basis,  if so, keep at it, you will be rewarded accordingly;  on the other side of the coin, if you believe in God, and in Jesus Christ, but have not yet gathered the courage to go to church; be encouraged today, to start visiting the churches in and around your vicinity, choose a church to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, worship him in the beauty of his holiness, cf. I Thessalonians 2:19; the joy of the Lord is your strength, have salvation, peace, and eternal life.

Beloved, what the motive behind your worshipping God?  To worship him in spirit means, to yield your emotions and burdens completely to the Holy Spirit in the presence of the LORD, reverence and praise him wholeheartedly;  therefore, if you have some burning desires upon your heart, the church is the best place for you; go!  Jesus is waiting for you at the altar to set you free and give you your heart desires and rest in him forever and evermore.  Come to Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour! 

Continue ye in Love!  Jesus is coming back again soon!  Peace and Love be unto you!  Amen and Amen!

WORD OF WISDOM:

(KJV.)  Proverbs 16:2  All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes, but the LORD weighted the spirits.
