FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>In this wicked world, not embrace truth engage lie which devil is the resource.<\/p>\n

1 Kings 22<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Truth does not lie. Truth is always a threat to deceivers and one that lies. Jesus declared, \u201c\u2026I am the way, the truth, and the life…\u201d (John 14:6)<\/em><\/strong> To walk in truth in this life is the evidence of being led by the truth. Bible buttressed the importance being led by truth, \u201cLead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day.\u201d (Psalm 25:5) \u201cOh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me\u2026\u201d (Psalm 43:3) <\/em><\/strong>In this wicked world, truth is extensively hated. Among fellowship of liars, deception and manipulation truth is a threat. In this wicked world, those who do not embrace truth engage lie which devil is the resource. Jesus referred to liar, \u201cYou are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.\u201d (John 8:44)
\n<\/em><\/strong>Do you have hatred for God\u2019s message in your direction? Any believer that hates never makes headway and the longer they hold unto hatred is the closer they are to their self-destruction. Just as a believer cannot get away with hatred, un-believer will also fall for hatred.
\nAhab king of Israel approached war with Syria in order to take over Ramoth Gilead. Ahab requested Jehoshaphat the king of Judah to go with him to fight at Ramoth Gilead. (1 Kings 22:4)<\/em><\/strong> Jehoshaphat accepted requesting Ahab to inquire for the word of the Lord.<\/em> Ahab agreed and gathered four hundred prophets to inquire. God was inquired and Ahab was given message that God will deliver Syria into his hand. Unfortunately, message of Ahab\u2019s prophets was not truthful. Jehoshaphat requested for a clearer message from any available prophet in the land. Ahab responded to Jehoshaphat\u2019s request, \u201c\u2026There is still one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD; but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.\u2019 And Jehoshaphat said, \u2018Let not the king say such things!\u2019\u201d (1Kings 22:8) <\/em><\/strong>Ahab confessed his hatred for Micaiah a prophet of God. The reason for Ahab\u2019s hatred was his dislike for truth.
\nProphet Micaiah prophesied, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>\u2026I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the LORD said, \u2018These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace.\u2019\u201d (1 Kings22:17) <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Prophet of God\u2019s truth message was true; Ahab\u2019s four hundred prophet message was not truth. King Ahab\u2019s hate towards Micaiah denied him from responding to the truthful warning signs. Ahab went to war and not returned.<\/p>\n
