Are you cheating on God?

A wise person loves discipline as it increases their knowledge but the unwise despises correction. Whenever you love God and follow his commandments, he will grant you many great favors but condemns you when you don’t. Nobody can be established through their own wickedness but the righteous can never be uprooted. The advice of a righteous man is true but that of a wicked only deceives. A truthful witness gives honest testimonies but a false witness lies. Truthful lips will endure forever but one that lies will only last for a short while. God hates lying lips but instead finds great delight in those that are truthful. The righteous man will hate whatever that is false as God does, but the wicked only brings about shame and disgrace.
God wants us to live our lives in a manner that will be pleasing to him. Whenever we do this, we enable ourselves to be used effectively by him and open doors for our own prosperity. God loves us and only wants the best for us but we have to be faithful to him.

Too many of us Christians are cheating on our relationship with God. How are we cheating on God? We cheat on God by giving him only a mere five minutes of the entire day but spend the majority of it on the computer, watching TV, working or doing other activities. We cheat on God by living double lives. What do I mean by this? We are Christians at church but on the streets we are the total opposite. We fit in so perfectly with the world that it is almost impossible for others to differentiate us. It could even be simply by the thoughts we continuously entertain. The list could go on and on but the point is we all at some point in our lives fail God so we should therefore seek to identify whenever we do and mend our relationship with him. God is very jealous and will not tolerate infidelity but he is willing to forgive us whenever we sincerely repent of our wrongs and make an effort to turn away from them. God will always be faithful to his word even if we are not to our own.
