Ways of Hypocrites


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Ways of Hypocrites

2 Timothy 3:5 KJV
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Hypocrisy deceives the hypocrite, damages unbelievers, and dishonors God.

If you’ve ever been deceived by a con artist, you know that the reason he got your money is that you didn’t know at the time that you were being deceived. If you had known, you wouldn’t have let him get your money. And, once you find out, you’re embarrassed that it happened, and so you tend to cover it up in order to save face.

Hypocrites don’t get into hypocrisy deliberately by thinking that, “I’d like to bring God’s judgment down on myself by being a hypocrite. That sounds like the way to go!” Rather, due to pride, they think, “I want people to respect me. If they knew what I was really like, they wouldn’t respect me. So I need to keep up a good front. Besides, everyone does that to some extent.” So he tries to impress others, forgetting that God examines the heart. He ends up deceiving himself in the worst way. At the heart of this process is this basic principle:

Check your heart, why are you doing what you are into right now, what is your aim, goals and purpose.

Psalm 10:4 KJV
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God : God is not in all his thoughts.
Proverbs 16:18 KJV
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

LET US PRAY
MAY GOD SAVE US ALL FROM WHATEVER THAT WANT TO DESTROY US IN JESUS NAME.
