Hebrews 11:24-26

[24]By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

[25]Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

[26]Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.'

   Human behaviour is guided by what we are accountable to. This person can only be someone higher than oneself. This person determines what one considers as truth. Truth is objective not subjective , intuitive  and rational . 2+2 equals 4 in any circumstance. This is truth and factual. Truth is what defines the meaning of meanings   

    Many modern preachers define truth along the lines of what gives a desirable outcome but Moses proved that to be wrong . He lived in the palace with Pharaoh: the most powerful king at the time yet had no peace because the truth was that he was anointed to be the  deliverer of the Jews in bondage in Egypt . He abandoned a life of opulence and became a Shepherd . 

    Another example is Apostle Paul .He was a highly placed religious leader with  so much influence . He was responsible for the arrest of many of the early disciples and there execution .After his conversion he was faced with persecution and suffered loses. The account of his ordeals are contained in 2Cor. 11;23-28. 

  He said in conclusion in defense of his choices against those who may take him for a fool  , he said in Philippians 3:8  'Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,' 

  Truth is about the fulfilment of divine purpose and this is manifested in the pursuit of its three cardinal components  1) righteousness which is the  Christian's equity of character or acts .2) Peace which the quietness, rest and prosperity and 3) joy in the Holy ghost. The Bible says in  Romans 14:17

" For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." 

   This should be the guide to whatever anyone  postulates as truth , we should seek for these components and not the abundance of meat and drinks ( symbolic of pleasure ) . Do not mistake what gives you riches to be  truth. Riches are deceptive (Mark 4:19)

   When truth is in operation it will manifest the fruits of the Holy Ghost . The scriptures says in Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

  On the contrary when falsehood is present in a Christian ministry the following character will be seen as listed in ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:19‭-‬21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 " When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,  idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, ] envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God."

 Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive of my sins i believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for salvation i receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Ghost and power  for total recovery .
