DAYAK - WHAT KIND OF HYPOCRITE ARE WE?

  • Do we pretend to be a really nice person but we’re not nice at all?
  • Do we want change but we instigate others; kaban-bejai-kaban, kaban-makai-kaban, kaban-kapapas enggau-kaban, kaban-ngelesey-kaban?
  • Do we want “Dayak Unity” but divide Dayaks by conspiring with others?
  • Do we want “Beserakup” but we blame all our Dayak leaders and blame other native ethnics?
  • Do we want to maintain good rapport with our voters and/or the rakyat but pointing finger at them “hypocrites” because they have a difference personal belief system?
  • Do we want equality but we blame others?
  • Do we want development but we opposed it?
  • Do we wear a smile but are filled with envy, anger and hatred?
  • Do we do nice things for others knowing the only reason we do them is to get gain for ourselves and fulfill our dreams and self-interest?
  • Do we want to win an election but blaming others because they do not favor you or they not part of you?
  • Do we cheat on our income tax and/or coming late to work or for a meeting?
  • Do we manipulate others to get what we want?
  • Do we willfully break the commandments with no remorse?
  • Do we make excuses for ourselves when we know we are doing wrong?
  • Do we use whatever authority we have unrighteously?
  • Are we a church leader who takes advantage of our position to exploit God’s children who trust us?
  • Do we go to church; all dressed up and pretend to be a good mother/father but go home and abuse our family or annoyed our neighbors or do something negative?
  • Do we pretend to be a good Christian but use “foul” words and/or language?
  • Do we claim to be a Christian but cheat on our mate; kaban-nipu-kaban, kaban-ninggal-kaban?
If we don’t want to be a hypocrite, we must repent of our sins and come unto Christ and be pure and clean.

On judgment day everything we thought we were concealing will be made evident. The punishment we will receive for being a hypocrite will not make any sin worthwhile.

It is better, in this earth life, to be pure and clean so we can offer our righteous life as a gift to God on our judgment day.

Remember this. Even a hypocrite can be saved. Heavenly Father loves us all and wants us to return to Him.

Isaiah 9:17 “Everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this His anger is not turned away, but HIS HAND IS STRETCHED OUT STILL”.

God forgive all our sins.
