BEARING FALSE WITNESS

TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 19:11-21

"If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong; Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days" (Deuteronomy 19:16,17).

The bearing of false testimony is strictly prohibited by God, as no good thing can ever be achieved by untruthful testimony. Our text reveals that one witness is not sufficient to indict a man; at the mouth of two or three witnesses shall the truth be established. The accused and the accuser are to present themselves before the Lord, priests or judges. Diligent investigation should be made on the accusation and if discovered that the witness has given a false witness, he is to be dealt with according to his expected punishment for the accused. This is to make others willing to bear false witness fear. This way, evil is eliminated from the land.

There are several ways in which false witness can be borne. A person can help spread a rumour and thus join hands with a perpetrator. One can indulge in false witness by turning a blind eye when truth is known. A person can simply fail to come forward with the truth or insinuate falsehood without actually saying it is so. And, perhaps worst of all, a person can spread gossip about another, thus engaging in some of the worst forms of character assassination.

When God gave the Ten Commandments, the ninth said, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour" (Exodus 20:16). The bottom line is that the bearing of false witness indicts the heart of man. Is this sin part of your landscape? Then you need to open your heart to the Lord. He will enable you to conquer this propensity to bear false witness.

Thought for the day: Bearing false testimony is breaking God's law

See more HERE:

Yes. It's an offence punishable by God.

I would dare to say that this sin is one of the top 3 most damaging sins within the church as well as outside of the church. The consequences behind this sin are so devastating. Sometimes irreparable damage is done and people are destroyed.

That is a serious offence.

Matthew 5:25, Jesus categorically told us to settle with ourselves in any way, anyhow and that God above is watching every settlement and will be The Final Judge of everything.

Bearing false witness is Misrepresentation and wicked.
The Lord watches The Ways of The Righteous but the ways of the Wicked shall perish.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for Righteousness Sake, The Lord alone judges all Creations. And these include Obama, Trump, Putin, OBJ, GEJ and now PMB etcetera.

Folks seem to be unaware of the gravity of this sin.

Settle with your Adversaries on the road before they throw you into Jail. We have just witnessed how fast and miraculous the Judgement of God is for the adversaries of Apostle Suleiman. Judas Otobo, Herod Rufai and Pontius Keyamo are false witnesses.
