Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2026 MESSAGE
Studies have revealed that many people have died needless death at the frequency of lies and false impressions.
People have died for saying the wrong thing. That is why you should be careful how you speak.
Our anchor scripture says, Death and life are in the power of the tongue. One of the negative character traits that has destroyed many destinies is lying and the creation of false impressions.
A clear example was the Amalekite who claimed that he killed Saul even though Saul committed suicide in battle. When the Philistines pressed hard upon him, he fell upon his own sword and died.
Then this Amalekite chanced upon Saul, removed Saul’s crown and weapon, and came to lie to David, thinking he was bringing good news to David.
He told David something like, “I saw that the battle was too hot for Saul, and I knew he would not survive, so I slew him”(2 Samuel 1:10). It was a lie. What surprised him was David’s reaction. Instead of celebrating the death of a man who had pursued him for years, David wept, mourned, fasted, and tore his clothes. After weeping, when his eyes had cleared, David asked the young man where he was from.
When he identified himself as an Amalekite, David asked him, “How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?” (2 Samuel 1:14).
Immediately, David commanded one of his young men to execute the Amalekite.
Scripture says in 2 Samuel 1:15–16, And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died. And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD’s anointed.
You see, the Amalekite died a needless death at the frequency of lies and false impressions. His own mouth testified against him. He died because he said the wrong thing.
It has been confirmed that if you want preservation in life and destiny, you must walk in truth. Refuse deceit, exaggeration, and false representation.
Do not stretch a story to make it look more exciting. Many people have destroyed opportunities, relationships, and destinies because of lies.
The seed of a lie may produce the harvest of death. God says in Psalm 101:7, He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
Beloved, if you desire a future and a destiny, avoid lying. Do not speak to create an impression; speak to give expression.
REMEMBER THIS: The seed of a lie may produce the harvest of death.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
- Refuse every form of lying and false representation.
