The topic of today’s devotional might appear very vague. This is because there could be numerous things the world hates to hear. There will be an attempt to narrow these things to a few of them with religious colorations. The world religion points at knowledge of deity. It connotes a form of worship of spiritual world and beings different from what the world admires and cherished. Every religion ought to deal with tenets of faith and core believes. On this ground, every religion ought to inculcate teachings and preachings different from what is obtainable from secular knowledge. In general, things that religious organs teach and preach supposed to encase what brings succor to humanity.
An ordinary man or a secular man has good expectations that a religious person will not involves self in vices but virtues. An ordinary man will express shock seeing a religious person in a midst of criminals, miscreants, murderers, corrupt people and other related degrading habits. Because of this, the world seems to hate almost all things that religious organs teach and preach. One of the first to mention in this devotional is the world ‘TRUTH.’ The world likes truth but hates hearing truth spoken of and preached. Nothing threatens evil people like the world of truth.
For Christians, truth sets people free from evils and its consequences. Truth is life. Jesus Christ says “And you will hear the truth; and it will set you free. In another place, Jesus said “My world I speak are truth and life. Unfortunately, the world hate truth and one who speaks words of truth. Facts are that, the more the world hates truths the more we living in the world will continue to sink into troubles and sorrows. The older worlds cherished truth and lived in a more peaceful society that the present worlds. Brethren, for things to change for good, we must all have to embrace truth in this our worlds.
PRAYER:
Holy Father Jehovah, show me the ways of truth and make embrace it sincerely in the name of Jesus Christ. Blessed Holy Spirit cause the religious leaders of our present age to go back to propagating the words of truth in the name of Jesus Christ.
