Good-Life Devotional : 

DECONSTRUCTION OF TRUTH ( Part 1)

7/01/24

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi

Genesis 16:2 "And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai."

  Acts 17:10-11 "And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." 

    There are two ways preachers  to interpret the scriptures by 1)reading meaning out of the scriptures (exegeses) or 2) reading personal meanings into scriptures for a selfish reason (eisegesis) . Eisegesis is the deconstruction of truth. The Bereans did not take a  preacher's word for it , they crosschecked with their righteous conscience  

and prophesies of old.  That's were truth dwells .

   God promised Abraham children from his loins in Genesis 15:4 'And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.' Sarah lied when she said God made her barren ( Gen.1;22,28, Deut ,7:14)  God blessed Abraham's household  with fruitfulness. 

   The Bible defines truth to be a person .In John 17:17 'Sanctify them through thy truth: THY WORD IS TRUTH. The word of God is Truth . The scriptures says John 1:1,14

[1]In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

[14]And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."  Truth is singular . There are no two meanings to God's word. 

  Sarah had a wrong interpretation to God's promise . It  involved a carnal or human approach to s spiritual reality. She wanted to assist God. She gave her made Hagar to her husband . This resulted in the birth of Ishmael .  He was born under an environment of strife , arrogance , rebellion. Parents have a string influence on children and Ishmael grew up to produce feudal Lords as seen in the Middle East today. 

  The Bible says in Genesis 16:12 'And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren." this is the origin of the crisis in the Middle East : the result of Sarah's deconstruction of the truth. 

  For the love of money and fame a lot of preachers deconstruct the truth of God's word along the line of appealing to humanism. Nimrod (Gen 10:9-20, Gen 11: 1-9)  is the father of humanism and he sort power and fame and failed woefully. The same awaits those following  his ideals . Anything that takes your passion 

from God is an abomination to him (Luke 16:15) 

 False teachers are trying to deconstruct the truth of the gospel through the line of pursuit of what makes a person happy .This is the reason behind the rapid collapse of the traditional family system and the moral values of  churches in Europe and America and their affiliates around the world.

    Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Ghost and power to preach the gospel .
