Hello Believers and Truth Seekers,

During my devotion today, I felt a strong pull in my spirit—not just to speak to individuals, but to nations. The message was clear and powerful.

In the Book of Jeremiah, we are reminded of who God truly is—the living God, the Creator of heaven and earth—and what He  is holding against rebellious nations.

In the Book of Jeremiah 10:11–13 KJV, we are reminded that the true and living God made the heavens and the earth.

Jeremiah 10:10,12 KJV  But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king:

at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

12 “He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.”

Everything we see belongs to Him. 

Jeremiah 10:11 KJV  “Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.”

Then in Book of Jeremiah 11:3–4  KJV, God gives a clear message: Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people. 

“Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you:

so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:”

But the Lord also shows us the root of the problem—deceit.  Let’s talk about it.

Jeremiah 9:8-9 (KJV)
“Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth,

but in heart he layeth his wait. Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?”

Jeremiah 9:13–14 (KJV)
“And the Lord saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:”

As I sat quietly with these verses, I began to see something deeper. This is not just about disobedience—it is about a slow drift from truth.

When people turn from God’s Word, they do not walk in neutral ground.

They begin to follow their own thoughts, their own feelings, and what has been passed down without question.

This is where deceit begins to grow.

Deceit is not small. It breaks trust, divides people, and pulls hearts away from God. It can live in what we say, what we do, and even what we hide inside.

This brought me back to a question someone once asked me: As you get older, what is one thing you stop tolerating? My answer was simple—lies.

There comes a time when you begin to value truth more than comfort. You realize that God is truth, grace, and love.

Without truth, love cannot stand. It becomes an illusion—something that looks real but has no lasting power.

This is true in every relationship, whether friendship or something deeper.

 

The Bible says iron sharpens iron. Growth requires truth. A dull blade cannot refine another.

In the same way, relationships built on lies cannot produce strength or purpose.  They may last for a moment, but they cannot endure.

Who can build anything meaningful on lies?

As I reflected, I saw that love and truth are not separate—they are joined. They are at the heart of God’s greatest commandments.

And when we return to both, something powerful happens: reconciliation.

This is the mystery of the Gospel—that through truth, repentance, and love, what was broken can be made whole again through reconcilation,

even for nations, cities and towns that have been rejected.

 

Many people. kings, presidents and rulers have voiced that Jesus is not stronger than evil. Many think they may share in his glory.

Remember, God shares his glory with no one. That is why he commands we serve humbly. In that is where the power of God is strongest.

Moses (the Red Sea and the 10 Commandments) was the greatest prophet known on earth besides John the Baptist. 

Moses was also known as the humblest man. 

He stayed humble giving God the glory so he could be used to guide the people as King Solomon. The wise and richest King that ever lived. 

 

Today, the help of most of these rebellious nations come from the strongest and most powerful countries in the world. 

The United States and Russia.  The largest Christian countries in the world. Jesus Christ is Lord.

Rebellious people have developed a taste for revenge and blood.

Even in the bible’s history, God gave King Solomon the blessing of being the richest King in the world

and there has not been anyone richer or wiser since.

Simply because when God asked him what did he want.

He answered: wisdom to lead your people according to your will.

 

King Solomon in Kings 3:5 KJV

In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

In First Book of Kings 3:9 (KJV), Solomon said:

“Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people,

that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?”

Solomon did not ask for wealth, long life, or power over his enemies. He asked for wisdom to lead God’s people the right way.

Because of this, God was pleased. In First Book of Kings 3:11–13 (KJV),

God responded that since Solomon asked for wisdom and not riches, He would give him both—a wise heart and riches, honor, and blessing.

And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

11And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies;

but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

12Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart;

so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

13And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour:

so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.

14And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments,

as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.

When we seek God’s will first—especially wisdom to live and lead rightly—God provides what we need beyond what we ask.

When trhe Kings of the Earth seek wisdom to obey God, provision will follow. Provision for the nations that they govern.

 

This is why repentance is so important.

The Bible teaches in Book of Proverbs 28:13  KJV

 ¹³He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

That word forsake means to turn away and not return. Nations must not only confess deceit, but renounce it—leave it fully.

Forgiveness of sin comes through Jesus Christ. Through Him, we are restored. Repentance brings reconciliation with God.

But confession without conviction does not bring peace or transformation. It becomes empty words.

When deceit remains, it opens the door to deeper harm—division, hatred, and even violence.

We see this warning in Epistle to the Galatians 5:15 KJV:
“But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.”

Today, I urge every reader—look within. Where has deceit taken root? What must be confessed and forsaken?

God is still calling. His promise still stands.

If we return to Him with truth in our hearts, He will receive us.

A CALL TO SALVATION:

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Romans 10:9-10⁹That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

 John 3:5-6⁵Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷
