Topic: The Branches Of Lies
Sunday School Manual Lesson No: 9
MEMORY VERSE: “For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.” – Proverbs 8:7 (KJV)
BIBLE PASSAGE: Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV) (RCCG Sunday School Student Manual 27 October 2024)
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
INTRODUCTION: A lie is a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive or convey a false impression. It is an intentional act of deviating from the truth. Lies have some terrible offshoots which when put on a scale are all sinful. We however need to look at these horrific subdivisions and do away with them if we want to live a good life, see good days, have a godly home and society, and enjoy God’s presence always (1 Peter 3:10).
LESSON OUTLINES:
- THE SUBDIVISIONS
- CONSEQUENCES AND REMEDIES
1. THE SUBDIVISIONS
Some of the offshoots of lies include:
Falsehood: This is a false statement, a misrepresentation of the fact, the act of rendering something false by fraudulent changes such as documents or measures, (Proverbs 11:1; 20:10; Job 21:34) or simply not telling the truth (Psalm 144:8).
Exaggeration: This is a blood relation to falsehood. It is the act of giving to overstatement and needless embellishment of the truth or a bloated statement that does not exist (Matthew 5:37).
Deceit: This is the act or practice of deceiving; concealment or distortion of the truth for the purpose of misleading, fraud, cheating, etc. Just like a liar, a deceitful person practices mischief and falsehood without any form of restraint. (Psalms 10:7; 50:19). An individual who is untrustworthy, two-faced, or fraudulent is deceitful.
Hypocrisy: An outright display of insincerity by pretending to have qualities or beliefs that one does not have. (Matthew 23:28; 1 Timothy 4:2).
Half-Truth: A statement that is only partly true, especially one intended to deceive (Acts 5:1-3). It is always the ally of some vice and another way of being economical with the truth.
Guile: It is the quality of being crafty or the use of tricks to deceive someone; usually to extract money from them (1 Peter 2:1; 2 Corinthians 12:16-17).
Flattering: To praise dishonestly because of ulterior motives (Psalms 78:36; 5:9). Praise singers who wish to curry favour flatter and end the relationship afterward.
CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Students should mention other subdivisions they know.
2. CONSEQUENCES AND REMEDIES
The penalties of these branches of lies include; getting cut off from God (Job 13:16; Psalm 12:3), being detestable (Proverbs 6:16), being susceptible to punishment (Proverbs 19:5), being accustomed to hypocrisy and iniquity (Matthew 23:28-29), momentary joy (Job 20:5), living unrealistic life (Proverbs 12:17), not seeing good days (1 Peter 3:10; Job 32:22). No liar will make Heaven (Revelation 21:27).
There are several things a believer can do to avoid telling lies. These include: Being precise in communications (Matthew 5:37); Telling the whole truth – this is a virtue that brings honour (Exodus 18:21); Not playing smart (Proverbs 3:7); Avoiding hasty responses (James 1:19). Employing God’s wisdom when speaking (James 3:17). Putting checks on utterances (Job 27:4; 1 Thessalonians 2:5).
CLASS ACTIVITY 2: Give additional ways that can be helpful to someone who helplessly tells lies.
CONCLUSION: Be truthful.
