Divine reflection on Lenten season
There seems to be no stop to the ZTE broadband investigation by the Senate. There are presently two surprise witnesses on the alleged multi-million dollar anomaly in the ZTE broadband deal. As Christians look at the Lenten season, senators, congressmen, governors, mayors, councilors and government officials and employees and other highest officials of the land should meditate on the sacrifices of Jesus Christ on the cross for the remission of our sins.
During the resumption of the Senate investigation on ZTE broadband deal, it is hoped that those testifying under oath should not lie but tell the truth for God is our truth and righteousness. God hates lying. In Ephesians 4:24, 25, 28 - "And that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore, putting away lying, Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor for we are members of one another. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need."
Lying is a satanic scheme and many unbelievers are the favorite friends of the devil. "The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all powers, signs and lying wonders" 2 Thessalonians 2:9. "A righteous man hates lying but a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame," Proverbs 13:5.
All those who testified in the Senate investigation are Christians. Joey de Venecia and Jun Lozada had testified in the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee and many priests, nuns, businessmen, students and respected people in the community believe that the two witnesses were telling the truth. The truth will make you free according to the scripture. "A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness will utter lies." Prov. 14:5.
Truth seekers will always triumph for the Lord loves them. Man has invented the lie detector machine, useful during criminal and civil cases. An honest man is the noble creation of God. The Philippines will go down in history since there are people who keep on lying and the truth is not in their heart. "Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds." The Holy Week meditation will help liars to turn their life to a new leaf and be with God in eternity.
"Lying lips are abomination to the LORD, but those who deal truthfully are His delight." Proverbs 12:22. Christians break the spirit of lying in our day to day walk with God.
