HYPOCRITE

There was person known to be a devoted lady in the choir department of her local assembly.

She was full of energy and gave her best to God's service. In fact, she earned her pastor's respect for those who are diligent. Most mothers wished their daughters would be like her.

She was respectful and humble. She sang so well, nifty and anointed.
Everyone usually noticed her absence if she was not in the church because she had a distinct voice.
In her privies, she was a different person entirely. She always watched pornographic videos.
and excited herself. No one could have access to her phone because of the dirty videos she had on it.

This aspect of her life wasn't known to anyone even her close friends. When she was in the church, she was a saint but in
the confines of her room, she was immoral.

How would you describe her in one word?
Hypocrite or What?

There are many people today who live fake or double lives. They are two different personalities and you may not be privileged to know.
Their private lives are far different from what people see them to be in public.

Hypocrisy is “a pretence of having virtues, moral principles, or religious beliefs that one does not really possess.” Hypocrites are around Christian friends today, and another way in the company of sinners tomorrow. They lift up holy hands on Sunday and throws same into the air at the club on Friday night.

They live with the twisted philosophy, "When you’re in Rome, you behave like the Romans" to justify their double lives.
Who are you deceiving or living to please?
You cannot live for God and the devil simultaneously. You must choose who you'd live for and be keen to that. Men could rate your
appearance as perfect or faithful but God doesn't judge outwardly.

He tries a man from within to without.

Examine yourself, are you not a different person from what you post on Facebook or social media sites

Which sites do you find pleasure viewing when you're surfing the web? Does human description about you equates what God sees you to be? Aren't you living a double life - saint at home or in church but a sinner away from home.
Won't you throw a punch or exchange words if someone steps on your toes, yet you're known to be gentle?
Who are you pretending to be when you're truly not?
No one knows you as an alcoholic at home but what do you drink in the company of friends?
We know you don't have a boyfriend/ girlfriend, but what’s your relationship online with that man/lady like?
You may not have had sex physically but what about the daily fornication you entertain in your mind?
Why are you into that sister when your motive is to have sex with her and leave, yet you promise her marriage?
Why do you put that brother on hold when you know you're not going to marry him, yet he foots your bill?
If you'll be black be black and if you'll be white, live it in and out.
You cannot sit on the fence. You may live for the praise of men but does God esteem you? Aside the fact that it's expensive and futile living double lives; it's an effort in futility before God. You can deceive men but can you deceive God?

"I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot. So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth". (Rev. 3:15-16).
God knows you better than what your parent, pastor or peers knows you to be.

Don't live in pretence thinking you're living for God. Don't be hypocrite while you're busying serving God. Live the same life you'd live both in public and in private. It will be worse living for God and on that fateful day, you'll be told to "Depart from Me, you workers of iniquities".

I'm not writing this to condemn anyone but to make you and I examine ourselves so that we can quickly ask God for help before it's too late. Make amends rather than take pleasure in hypocrisy.

‪#‎Prayer‬:
Lord, search me and deliver me from any form of hypocrisy in my life in Jesus name.
