Numbers 23:19 - God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Beloved, our loving Father in heaven is faithful and dependable.

This is because truthfulness is one of His most outstanding attribute, that you should cultivate. See it.

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

1 Samuel 15:29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.

Psalms 89:35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

Hebrews 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Beloved, your Father in heaven is extremely truthful. Please be like Him.

Isaiah 63:8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

Interestingly, your loving Father in heaven desire truthfulness from His people and abhor lying,.

Because of this, He gave them clear instructions to obey. See some of them.

Pro 6:16 — Pro 6:17 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

Col 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

Pro 14:5 A faithful witness will not lie:but a false witness will utter lies.

Proverbs 19:5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

Psa 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb:they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

It is very very unfortunate that in spite of these clear instructions from out loving Father in heaven, deception, lack of integrity and shameful lying are the things that characterise people inside and outside of the church today.

Today, among the so called ministers of God and professors of religion globally, inside the church and the worldlings outside the church, truthfulness, integrity forthrightness have become attributes of the past.

See what characterised the lifestyle of nominal churchgoers globally and the worldlings outside the church.

Isa 59:14 — Isa 59:15 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

Isaiah 48:1. Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah,
which swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

Psalms 5:9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

Jeremiah 7:28 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

Hos 4:1 — Hos 4:2 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.

Nahum 3:1 Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;

Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

See what characterised the lifestyle of merchandise motivational speakers.

Jer 23:25 — Jer 23:27 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

Jeremiah 5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

Ezekiel 13:6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The Lord saith: and the Lord hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.

1Ti 4:1 — 1Ti 4:2 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Beloved, it is very very necessary for you to check up, whether you are caught up in this shameful web.

Kindly examine yourself now.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

The reason for this self examination is because, this shameful lifestyle, makes whoever is doing it, unlike God, but resemble Satan.

Jn 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

In addition, the Bible says believers of all ages and you in particular, should desist from little foxes and besetting sins.

SS 2:15 Take us the foxes,the little foxes, that spoil the vines:for our vines have tender grapes.

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Beloved failure on the part of the person, not free completely from these little foxes and besetting sins automatically damn the precious undying soul of the person.

Your own soul shall not be damned. So be sure you are free from this shameful unChristlike attitude. See it yourself.

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Psa 101:6 — Psa 101:7 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me:
he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Beloved the Bible revealed some people in Bible days, both in the old and new testaments, that lost their lives and damned their souls for lying.

This shall not be your portion. But learn from their misfortunes.

1. The Amalikite seeking for cheap glory who lied to David, that he killed King Saul.

2Sa 1:1 — 2Sa 1:10 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag; It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance. And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped. And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also. And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead? And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I. And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me. So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.

2Sa 1:13 — 2Sa 1:16 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite. And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the Lord’s anointed? And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died. And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the Lord’s anointed.

Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

2. Ananias, and Sapphira who lied to apostle Peter.

Act 5:1 — Act 5:10 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whilst it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Beloved, if you discover after you have sincerely examine yourself that you are guilty. There are two things you need to do.

1. Confess and forsake these sins.

Proverbs 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

2. Do immediately, necessary restitutions. This is because, if you don’t, readiness for the dawning rapture or living with God in heaven shall be an illusion.

Lev 6:2 — Lev 6:6 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the Lord, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour; Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein: Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found, Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering. And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:

Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

May the Lord help you to be wise unto salvation in Jesus name.
