(TEXT : Proverbs 6:19)
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
FOCUS :
Finally, we have come to the end of this series. Faithful is He that has started with us since the beginning of this series, and Him alone has brought us this far on this journey. We have spoken about PROUD, LYING TONGUE, HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD, AN HEART THAT DEVISETH WICKED IMAGINATION, THE FEET THAT BE SWIFT IN RUNNING TO MISCHIEF, and yesterday spoke about A FALSE WITNESS THAT SPEAKETH LIES. These are some of the things that God hates, particularly when He found the so called “believers” indulging in any of these aforementioned things. In our relationship with God, we must learn not to provoke God nor try to get Him angry with us. When God is angry with you, nothing will be well with; but when you are on the right track with God, all will be well with you.
In addition, today, we want to talk about the last point which is number 7, that God hates. And that is: “he that soweth discord among brethren.” There are some believers, the reason they associate themselves with you is to “disassociate you from those who loves you and those who really want to help you.” So, from time to time, you will always see this discord people around your life with the spirit of strife, envy, jealousy, hypocrisy and unforgivness; all because they want to bring you down without anyone notice. Among the believers, there should be no discord, but unfortunately, some believers are the discord in the midst of other believers; and this is what God hates.
Genesis 13:8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
Proverbs 15:18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
Finally, you see, the word “hate” does not mean God is been wicked to you; but He is only “angry” with you because you know the right thing to do but you choose to do the wrong things. Why should there be strife in the midst of the so called believers? Meanwhile, this is where there should be peace, holiness, joy of salvation for sinners, love, unity, and oneness among the believers throughout the world. And you think God will not hate you for you being swallowed up and dwelling in the wrong opposite to the will of God? If you are God and God is human being like you, what do you think you will do “as God” to the human being? Let judge ourselves as human beings, so that we will not be judged by God. These are some of the things that God hates, and if you are found guilty of any as believers, let repent and reposition ourselves in the presence of God so that God will be at peace with us.
Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
Proverbs 28:25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
Romans 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
2 Corinthians 12:20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
James 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
