HYPOCRISY- THE RUIN OF DESTINY
SCRIPTURE: Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Matthew 23:28
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There is no destiny for the hypocrite; there is no future for the fake.
Hypocrisy is the act of false appearance of goodness. It is
concealing your real character. Hypocrisy is living a life of pretence.
When you present yourself to be what you are not, you are a
hypocrite. The truth is, hypocrisy is a corrupter and spoiler of
destiny. There is no destiny for the hypocrite; there is no future for
the fake.
The tragedy today is that many children of God – church workers,
deacons, elders or pastors are living double-faceted lives. That is,
what they do in the closet is different from what they do in the public.
They are saints in church but brazen sinners outside the church. What a
calamitous tragedy!
You cannot attain a glorious destiny with a fake identity.
Beloved, the mark of a true believer is that you do not have a
different lifestyle in the public and another in the private. Your
confession is your practice. You are a Christian not just by words but
also in deeds. When you are at such a point, then, the fulfilment of
your destiny is guaranteed.
I prophesy on you the grace to be real in Jesus’ Name.
Remember This: There is no destiny for the hypocrite; there is no future for the fake.
ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Desist from any lifestyle that contradicts authenticity and reality.

PRAYER: LORD, I thank You for Your Word to me
today. I sincerely repent of any lifestyle of hypocrisy I have hitherto
exhibited. Grant me the grace, O’ LORD, to be genuine and real in Jesus’
Name.

behaving a lie, when He sees hypocrisy, He hates it with passion because
He is an embodiment of truth. Culled from WHO ARE YOU? By Dr Paul Enenche.
