DON’T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF THE DEVIL

 CHILDREN BIBLE STUDY OUTLINE BY PASTOR (MRS.) OLANIKE BANSO

TOPIC: DON’T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF THE DEVIL

TEXT: JOHN 2:13-17

MEMORY VERSE: “Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who deal truthfully are His delight” (Proverbs 12:22 NKJV).

SONG: Don’t do it. Don’t ever do it. Jesus never did it that way. Don’t do it.

INTRODUCTION:  God has given man the ability to speak and communicate. He has also given human beings the ability to develop and speak different languages. Can you name some languages, both foreign and indigenous?

WHAT IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE DEVIL?

As we have different languages, there is also a language called the language of the devil, which is lying. John 8:44 explains plainly what the language of the devil is:

“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (NKJV).

Many children and adults speak the language of the devil. Some people cannot speak any truth, no matter how little. There is no truth in them. Some people even lie over what does not need lying about. To lie means to speak falsehood. It means being untruthful. It means to speak what is not true. People who tell lies are called liars. Do you like that name?

Don't speak the language of the devil

There are different levels of lying

  1. Lying against others (Mark 14:56-57).
  2. Lying against yourself (2 Samuel 1:16).
  3. Lying about happenings/events.
  4. Lying against God (Isaiah 59:13).

LIARS IN THE BIBLE

  1. Devil (John 8:44).
  2. Ananias and Saphira (Acts 5:3).
  3. The Old Prophet (1Kings 13:15-19).
  4. Gehazi: After he went to collect gifts from Naaman, he lied to his master that he didn’t go anywhere (2Kings 5:25).
  5. The prophets of Ahab: They prophesied lies. They came under the control of a lying spirit (2 Chronicles 18:21).

SOME REASONS PEOPLE LIE

  1. Exaggeration – When someone wants to present a situation or something bigger than it is.
  2. When a person is possessed by the spirit of lying.
  3. When Satan fills someone’s heart. That is why you have to guard your heart.
