Don't Under Estimate Deception

What is Deception?

According to a Christian definition about deception, (Job 13:4) The definition of deception includes manufacturing in the eyes of someone that something is of value when it has no value.

As to my experiences and observation, "it is a false representation of what is bad."

In our world today, most of us are victims of deception. Have you not wonder why our lives seems to get worst everyday? Its because of deception! Sad to say but most people do not highly put their trust on God, they do rely on themselves that's why they based their decisions to what they think is right, unfortunately most of what we think of are false representations.

Crimes are unstoppable and is increasing in a rapid rate. But if you ask those criminals for some reasons why they did a certain crime, they do not have any answer and it seems that they are confused. Same thing with corrupt politicians, people with vices, school dropouts,early pregnant ladies, addicts, broken families etc.

Whether you like it or not, the reason why our situation gets worst is because of our wrong actions that we did based from our wrong perceptions. Believe me, everything that's happening are just the effects of false representation of what should be right thing.

The truth is, we are all deceived. In John 10:10, it says, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." What normally happens is that we are destroyed and that we did not have life to the full. Why? Its because we do really on ourselves, not on God that's why we are deceived repeatedly.


Always Remember:
According to one of my favorite verse Proverbs 3:7 "Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and turn away from evil." It is very clearly stated that we should not be wise for ourselves. We have limited knowledge about what is better for us.

Do not under estimate deception because its been ruining peoples lives.
