Doctrines and ordinances are the planets, but Christ is the sun. Get to love him best of all. -Spurgeon

LIBERTY : A must read for those born to succeed!

YOU’RE ENTITLED TO KNOW THE TRUTH

It may sound like a dumb joke, but the mistakes of today show up in your tomorrow. The secret acts of indulgence, careless compromises, sweet taboos, wayward youthful living that brings satisfaction today have a way of poaching on your happiness in the future. And a life without happiness is a life of emptiness.

It may sound curious, but there is no happiness without truthfulness. Truth is innate. The quality of living truthfully brings contentment, fulfillment and peace in life. Truth is so essential… that without it, the elements of Nature itself can’t function. That is, it’s not possible for nature to deceive or be deceived. You can’t sow thorns and reap apples. Invariably, anyone who hopes to function at their peak must necessarily operate in the light of the truth. For, “…God is light, and in him is no darkness.” (1 John 1.5).

Look around, our world is depraved, confused, and dysfunctional, because it has rejected the truth. Because it abhors virtue. Nigeria is a depleted balloon floating in the wind of indirection. Africa is a fugitive in need of political and economic sanity and liberation. The healing the world desires cannot come from our National Assemblies, State Houses, Sovereign National Conferences, or the Ministries of Justice. “These things have I spoken to you, that in me ye might have peace…” (John 17. 33). We must retrace our steps and find the path of truth. Truth is the solution.

This generation is crying out for truth and justice in the face of oppression. It’s crying out for men of courage, men who will stand in truth and honesty- who will die celebrating and clutching the banner of truth. What then is truth?

Truth is the sublime essence of life. It’s that unimpeachable nature of facts, endorsed by pure conscience, granted by God, established by man. By it the foundations of the earth were anchored. It’s that eternal verity, the finality of things- that which may not be doctored by human craft, compromised by selfish interests, corrupted by sentiments and bias. Truth is from God, it’s the conscience of God- the impact of His spirit.

“Sanctify them through thy truth, thy word is truth.” (John 17. 17).

Truth is the sanctification of man through God’s word. It’s the unction of God upon man to function in perfection. It’s that which kings have impugned, which nobles scorn, which elites manipulate, which peasants hate, which mankind has rejected. It’s that virtue which man has found convenient to supplant for popular opinion, for political correctness and the mediocrity of lies. But without truth, the world is a logjam of chaos, an empty void.

Do you find truth- the word of God old fashioned, unpopular, unattractive, an unwelcome nuisance? Think twice. Truth needs a soldier. Without it life is falsehood, a cheap deception, a grave self injury. Do you count yourself as noble? Truth is the vital essence of nobility. Do you see yourself as a person of purpose? Truth needs a penchant. Truth’s a potent weapon, the most powerful ammunition of credence and impact. Are you elite? Truth makes you the best unlike the rest.

Each man alive is on the war front, serenaded by the mine field of lies, corruption, unseen powers, crime, and disaster, liable to the unforeseen eventualities of life. Your most reliable weapon and defense on this front is God. Without Him a warrior is unprepared for the confrontation to come. Without God you’re unfit for the battles of life. Self security is self delusion. Any raid undertaken without Him is a suicide mission. Any business proposition, deal or project without His partnership is a financial scam bound to nosedive.

You are on the threshold of unrestrained greatness in life. You are marked for success, identified to be magnified. And it’s now you need Him more than ever. Any venture without Christ is a misadventure. For a wholesome life of peace and happiness, you must embrace His truth. Sure you don’t want to carry scars of your past into your future. Therefore; “…Knowing the time, that now is the high time to awake out of sleep…The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” (Romans 13.11,12).

Take the glorious step of faith, reconsider your choices, and rekindle the zeal for God in your life… redeem the time. (Colossians 4.5). For He has endorsed your promotion, certified your success, sealed your destiny for greatness. But you must be sold out to Him. He is the true essence of life. He has guaranteed your future. May God be with you.
