Topic: God Cannot Lie – Part 1
Text: Psalm 89:34-37
34My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
Key Verse: “Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.” Psalm 89:35
Message
A lie is a deliberate act of saying something that is not true. It is a way of deceiving another person. Lie has now become a second language to many people both adults and children. Rulers lie to their subjects, some parents lie to their children and in the same way children lie to their parents. This act of lying is the root cause of many problems in the society. God hates lies because His nature is truth and perfect. He can never lie.

Our key verse shows how God personally proved His faithfulness to David. He made a covenant; an everlasting agreement with him. God spoke, and on His part He would never alter the thing that has gone out of His lips. There must have been something very special in the life of this person called, David. God said, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.” (Acts 13:22b).
God Almighty swore in His holiness to favour David. God was saying as long as His nature of holiness cannot change, then His promises to David cannot change. The promise was not only to him, the goodness of God to this man was extended to his spiritual and physical children. Surrender yourself and become a child after God’s heart, beloved and cherished by Him. Then God’s promises will be fulfilled in your life.

Prayer for today: Lord, thank You for all Your love to me. Help me to live right and trust in Your unfailing promises.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
