Good -Life Devotional: THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH VERSES THE SPIRIT OF LIES 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Matthew 7:13-15

  'Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 

  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 

 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. "

  This scripture teaches that false teachers of the gospel shall lead many astray with lies to their destruction. It also highlights the unpopularity of the teachers of the truth of the gospel . 

The concept of the Spirit of    

   Truth versus the spirit of error is deeply rooted in biblical teachings. In 1 John 4:5-6, the apostle John contrasts those who follow God with those who are of the world. He highlights that believers in Christ possess the Spirit of Truth, enabling them to discern and adhere to God's teachings. This Spirit aligns with the truth, as revealed in God's Word.

John 17:17 reinforces this by stating, "Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth." Here, Jesus prays for His disciples to be sanctified, or made holy, through the truth found in God's Word. This highlights the inseparable connection between God's Word and the Spirit of Truth, guiding believers towards righteousness.

On the other hand, 1 Kings 22:22-23 introduces a contrasting spirit—a lying spirit sent by God to deceive. This passage reflects the consequences of rejecting the truth and embracing falsehood. The spirit of error, unlike the Spirit of Truth, leads individuals away from God’s will, resulting in deception and judgement.

In essence, the Spirit of Truth aligns believers with God’s truth, while the spirit of error leads to deception and spiritual peril. Believers are called to remain steadfast in truth, guided by God’s Word and Spirit.

  In our daily prayers we should seek for the spirit of discernment to avoid becoming victims of the spirit of error. 

   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 deception. Amen
