WHAT IS FALSEHOOD?

  • Prov. 19 v 9

“A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.”

Falsehood is making statements that are untrue, telling of lies even in the face of obvious truth and making people believe what you are not or what is not in existence, reality or available.

 WHAT IS AN ACCUSATION?

It is the claim or charge that someone has done something wrongly or illegally. It can be true or false.

 FACTS ABOUT FALSE ACCUSATION

  1. They are lies from the pit of hell.
  2. False accusations are hurtful, untrue things said about you or your organisation to other people who in turn judge or punish you.
  3. False accusations will not last. Truth will overpower it at last.
  • 2 Cor. 13 v 8

“For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.”

  • Job 20 v 5

“That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?”

  1. Don’t get angry and bitter at the human agents that levied the accusations but pray against the forces behind the accusations.
  2. Process anger from a Godly perspective so as not to lead to resentment, hatred and bitterness.
  3. False accusations can be against your person, your business, your position or your products or services.
  4. They peddle false accusations to:
    1. Distract you
    2. Make you lose focus
    3. Make you feel worthless
    4. To lower your self-worth/self-esteem/self-confidence/self-value.
    5. To make you a reproach
    6. To make you stop the good things going on in your life. (Remember Nehemiah vs. Samballat and Tobiah)
    7. To make you give up too soon because they know if you continue, you will explode.
    8. To make you feel that your God is powerless.
    9. To tamper with your destiny journey.
    10. To tarnish your image, reputation and brand.
    11. To ensure you die before your time.
    12. To make you a bad history while still alive.
