The year we are in is a year of judgement. I became privy to this in the hour of prayer. It is the year in which God will call to remembrance his adversaries and judge them according to their works. He will punish their insolence, unless they repent fast.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Ecclesiastes 12:14

When the Bible says God does judgment, it means that His eyes are very open to the doings of men. And that for every action we take, whether good or bad, a judgement and verdict will ensue. There is no going scot-free; there is no ‘God will overlook’. As much as we are vested in doing evil, let us also be interested in knowing that its Judgement will also come.

Lying against the Lord is an act of rebellion. It is a wilful act to deceive the church and God’s sheep to trust in lies and look away from seeking their God and to know and keep His law, in which lies their true success. Anyone who derails the church which Christ laboured in death and pain to redeem is an enemy of God.

Time of Grace and Mercy is the extent to which God will take our wicked tantrums against him. Beyond this time is no mercy, only punishment and destruction. Let us turn back to God. And let the liars who do violence to the Holy name of God repent today and harden their hearts no more. For my God shall soon sweep all His enemies under our feet. Amen

Now there are three most spelt our punishment for the sin of lying against the Lord

1. Losing the God of the call and his advantage, ie God will abandon you

This is for those who operate their lies on and off the pulpit. The easiest way to lose a ministry and a divine assignment is by losing the God who started it. The shortest route to becoming bereft of a spiritual endowment is by grieving the Spirit of the anointing. Once God is gone, the ministry is over, and soonest the grace that follows a man will become a thing of the past. Once the Spirit has had enough, he will quietly walk away, and the one who walked in manifestations will become ordinary.

Know that God’s Judgement does not fly over the heads of ministers. He is not a respecter of persons. If he judged, rejected, and turned away the priests and prophets of Israel who peddled lies, the One who does not change will do the same today.

Have you ever wondered why many people dwell on their past? They often reminisce about the miracles and signs they once experienced and the kingdom authority they used to possess. What has happened? Why are those signs so distant from them now? How has the mighty become like mere mortals? I will tell you why: when the Spirit of God has had enough, the glory, power, and ministry come to an end. And I make no apology for this, even if he is still pastoring a church. After all, Adam lived long after he died anyway.

Let us take the Judgement of God against the prophets of Israel, who spoke lies, as a lesson. God not only abandoned them, but He also rejected them and took away their ability to dream and see.

2. Punishment, curses

One who tells lies in the name of God is committing not just evil, but great wickedness against God, his angels, the church, and those whom he tells lies. He also violates God’s word and grieves the Spirit of God greatly. It is treason and an act of rebellion to work against a leader under his nose. This kind of wickedness is categorised as ‘wickedness against the Lord.’ But be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished…(Proverbs 11:21). The scriptures below will explain better.

According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense. (Isaiah 59:18)

If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me. (Deuteronomy 32:41)

3. Destruction, curses, deaths for his posterity and generations

There are four passages in the Bible that describe God as one who extends punishment for wickedness to the children and their descendants – Exodus 20:5, Exodus 34:7, Numbers 14:18, and Deuteronomy 5:9-10. This means that when God begins to judge and punish His enemies—those who deceive His people and undermine His church through lies—their children will not escape the fury of God’s judgment. He will not leave the wicked unpunished.

I am a jealous God, and I will bring the curse of a father’s sins upon even the third and fourth generation of the children of those who hate me. (Deuteronomy 5:9)

Let us take a look at the case of Shemiah the liar. Take notice that his seed was a beneficiary of the punishment for lying against the Lord.

³⁰ Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, ³¹ Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie: ³² Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the Lord; because he hath taught rebellion against the Lord. – Jeremiah Chapter 29

Conclusion: Tell the believers to stop lying in the name of God. Tell those lying seers and lying preachers and prophetesses that it is enough. Let us once again sanctify the name of the Lord our God and His Son by speaking truth only in his name. Thus says the Lord:

For From the rising of the sun, even to its going down, My name shall be great among the Gentiles; In every place incense shall be offered to My name, And a pure offering; For My name shall be great among the nations,” Says the LORD of hosts. (Malachi 1:11). Amen!
