The Old Lie

Text: Matt. 28: 1- 15
More Lessons: Matt 28:1-15, Psa.2:1-3

So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the S Jews until this day: Matt. 28:15.No matter how much was paid in monetary term or otherwise to raise a lie against you, the pronouncement will not stand, in the name of Jesus.

When the enemies of Jesus noticed that their plot was failing, they decided to use a lie to defend their evil. They gave money to the soldiers guarding Jesus’ grave to make them lie that the disciples came by night while they slept and stole the body away. Meanwhile, Jesus had resurrected and begun to show Himself to His disciples. What a courageous lie; that the disciples stole a dead body but the same corpse was seen walking around the streets. However, the Bible says, despite seeing the resurrected Jesus, though without effect this lie is ...commonly reported among the Jews until this day: Matt. 28:15. It has become a mockery of the enemy to tell such an open undefendable lie.

In the same way, the lies of your enemies, no matter how old and popular, will have no effect on your destiny. Know that every pronouncement of men and of life circumstances that is contrary to God's Word and promises is an open lie and cannot stand. Barrenness is a lie because it is written, There shall nothing cast their young nor be barren, in thy land: Exo.23:26a. Untimely death is also a lie because the Word says...the numbers of your days I will fulfill: Exo.23:26b; and With long life will I satisfy you…: Ps.91:16. Poverty is a lie. David said...yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken nor His seed begging bread: Psa. 37:25. Similarly, sicknesses and diseases are lies; …and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee…: Ex.23:25. Oppression is a lie: ...thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear…: Isa.54:14. Everything that is contrary to what God has said remains a lie and must end.

Only the Word of the Lord shall stand forever (Ps.33:11). No matter how old the words of the enemy are, they shall bow to the counsel of the Lord. There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord that shall stand: Prov.19:21. Therefore, child of God, stand on what God has said over your matter, disbelieve the lie of the devil. No matter how strong and real it may look, it shall not stand. Fill you heart always with what God has said. Read the Word, memorize it and confess it to your situation and it shall be well with you. Whose report will you believe today? God's Word or Satan's lies? (Isa.53:1).
