Good -Life Devotional: LOVE NO FALSE OATH

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Text: "Let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD." — Zechariah 8:17
    A nation cannot prosper when truth is abandoned. During Zechariah's day, Judah experienced economic hardship: "there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast" (Zechariah 8:10). Businesses failed, employment vanished, and insecurity prevailed because sin had weakened the moral foundation of society. One of God's charges against His people was that they loved false oaths instead of truth.
    An oath is a solemn pledge made before God. Public officials swear an oath to uphold justice and the rule of law. When those entrusted with authority deliberately violate that oath, justice is corrupted, lawlessness spreads, and society descends into anarchy. God therefore commands, "Speak ye every man the truth... execute the judgment of truth and peace" (Zechariah 8:16). "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people" (Proverbs 14:34).
    Scripture also warns against applauding or blessing wickedness. "The wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth" (Psalm 10:3). Those who use spiritual influence to celebrate or encourage unrepentant leaders who trample justice place themselves in dangerous territory (Zechariah 5:2-4).  God's servants are called to rebuke sin, not endorse it (Isaiah 5:20; Ezekiel 3:18-19; 2 Timothy 4:2).
    As believers, we must love truth, honour our commitments, and pray that leaders fear God and uphold their oaths. God delights in truth, justice, and peace, but He hates falsehood and every false oath. Let your words, your witness, and your prayers always stand on the side of righteousness.
  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and for righteous leadership in our nation .
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 Spirit and power to overcome temptation.
