Telling lies and making false promises to ministering vessels and the Body of Christ, is a deceptive and sinful act against the Holy Spirit; for, "you have not lied to men but to God," whose presence is always dwelling with His own, giving the Righteous in Christ Jesus rest, even in the midst of deception (Exo. 33:14). While making a vow in the presence of God's people, we should not have any selfish ambition or intention, so we do not have to seek recognition from men to please our Heavenly Father, because it can hinder one from giving wholeheartedly. acting with integrity, and even receiving His inheritance as the reward (Col. 3:23).
Also, by declaring before His anointed and chosen generation to give from the abundance of the LORD'S blessings in your life, you are making a commitment which should not be broken but fulfilled for God's glory, as an Heir of our Heavenly Father who never fails nor lies (Num. 23:19 & 30:2, Luke 1:37, Titus 1:2).
PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, Heavenly Father, and Covenant-Keeping God, for giving me the grace to share and give from the abundance of Your Love and Favor shown to me. Please keep me willing and dedicated to fulfill every commitment I make, for Your glory, in Jesus' Name,
Amen.
From Acts 5:3-5
