Greetings everyone, good afternoon to you all. You're all welcome to my blog.
It's a beautiful Thursday, and I want to share my view with you on what I titled Stop Living a Deceitful Life.
What is deceit?
The word deceit, in my own view, refers to an act of lying to yourself, your friends, and loved ones just to gain an advantage over them. One who is deceitful can easily hide the truth from anyone close to him or her.
Someone who is deceitful could make you believe in something you wouldn't have believed in because of how he or she would make those things look.
One of the most striking things about deceit is that it's a deliberate action. This simply means such a person, purposely chose to live a deceitful life.
No one forces another to behave in such a way; it depends on the person's choice. Once you start looking for things you know you won't be able to afford even in the next generation to come, you would definitely start living a deceitful life.
Living a deceitful life can never take you far, it would only take away the good opportunities you have.
I've never seen a deceitful person living a successful life even in his business place.
Once people lose trust in you, they can never believe in you again, even if you're telling the truth.
So the seed of deceit should not be in you. Be open-minded while working with someone.
Never use deceit to deprive people of their rights. Even our Lord Jesus Christ lived a responsible life while he was on earth.
I've never seen a scripture that records how deceitful Jesus Christ was, while on earth.
He never lived such a life. Then why do some Christians behave this way, even with their fellow believer in the same denomination?
Isn't that obvious and shameful at the same time? Must you rob your brothers and sisters just to satisfy yourself? Think about it.
If only you knew the dangers of living a deceitful life, you wouldn't have indulged in it. Refrain from this lifestyle you've chosen, and make the right choice.
I heard a story about a lady in my area who lived a deceitful life when her suitor met her. She told him she graduated from one of these top departments at the University of Uyo.
The man was also a graduate, a writer, and a computer operator. So when he heard her say all these things, he became attached to her because he needed someone who would support him since he didn't have much money at that time.
He had a lady he trained as a nurse, but she was still under training. What baffled me was that he abandoned her and went for the university lady.
A few years later, the man discovered the lady wasn't able to finish university because she wasn't sound educationally. And to worsen the whole situation, she didn't study what she claimed to have studied.
Everything got worse for this man; quarrels and disagreements became their new name in the neighborhood.
So when this man met the nurse he had trained a few years after his marriage, he noticed she had made it with his help. But he was too weak to allow a lady to deceive her.
Deceit won't do you good; instead, it will scatter your relationship, so be careful.
Thank you all.
