INTRODUCTION:

God is the ultimate truth, and nothing false can stand before Him. Throughout the Scriptures, we see God consistently dismantling the plans of liars, deceivers, and wicked schemers. When God moves against the counsel of the wicked, He not only exposes their lies but also renders their plans useless. The “tokens” of liars refer to their signs, symbols, predictions, or manipulative strategies—yet the Almighty makes them of no effect.

In ministry, life, and destiny, there will be moments when false witnesses rise against you, and evil people conspire in secrecy to derail your progress. But the God who frustrates the tokens of liars will not allow their schemes to prosper. Instead, He will cause their plans to collapse before they even begin, and He will turn their wisdom into foolishness.

This message is a call to trust completely in God’s justice, knowing that when He decides to intervene, no lie can stand, no divination can succeed, and no manipulation can survive His judgment. The God who frustrates the tokens of liars will fight for you, vindicate you, and establish His truth over your life.

1. GOD NULLIFIES THE PLANS OF THE WICKED

God does not allow the evil plans of liars to reach their intended end. He intercepts their counsel and renders it ineffective.

a) God is the ultimate judge – He evaluates the intentions of the wicked and decides their end (Psalm 7:11).

b) Evil plots cannot withstand God’s decree – Whatever God speaks overrides every wicked plan (Lamentations 3:37).

c) God’s Word is the final authority – No human scheme can overrule divine truth (Isaiah 46:10).

d) The counsel of the wicked is doomed to fail – Their plans are like fragile structures before the storm of God’s power (Proverbs 19:21).

Biblical Example: Ahithophel’s counsel to Absalom was frustrated by God, leading to Absalom’s downfall (2 Samuel 17:14).

2. GOD EXPOSES HIDDEN LIES AND SCHEMES

God reveals the works of darkness so that His children are not destroyed by them.

a) God shines His light on every hidden thing – Darkness cannot conceal evil from Him (Luke 8:17).

b) False witnesses will be exposed – God will uncover their deception (Proverbs 19:5).

c) The truth will always prevail – Lies may flourish for a season but truth will outlast them (John 8:32).

d) God turns their secret plots into public shame – He humiliates liars openly (Job 5:12-13).

Biblical Example: The plot against Daniel was exposed, and his accusers were judged (Daniel 6:4-24).

3. GOD CONFUSES THE WISDOM OF THE ENEMY

The strategies of liars are overturned when God strikes their wisdom with confusion.

a) God makes the wise men backward – Their forward progress is reversed (Isaiah 44:25).

b) Human wisdom cannot outsmart divine power – God uses what seems foolish to shame the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27).

c) Confusion is a divine weapon against evil – It dismantles their unity and purpose (Genesis 11:7).

d) The more they plan, the more they fail – Every step taken in deceit backfires (Psalm 33:10).

Biblical Example: The builders of the Tower of Babel were confused and scattered by God (Genesis 11:1-9).

4. GOD VINDICATES HIS CHILDREN

When liars rise against God’s people, He takes up the fight to vindicate them.

a) God fights for His own – He will not let the righteous be put to shame (Isaiah 54:17).

b) Vindication is a divine promise – God rewards faithfulness and defends His servants (Psalm 37:6).

c) The enemy’s accusation will be silenced – Their voices lose power when God speaks (Revelation 12:10).

d) Your reputation will be restored – God ensures your name is honoured despite their lies (Psalm 135:14).

Biblical Example: Mordecai was vindicated when Haman’s lies and plots against him were frustrated (Esther 7:9-10).

CONCLUSION:

The God who frustrates the tokens of liars is still at work today. No matter how sophisticated or well-organised the lies against you may be, they cannot stand against His truth. God has the power to nullify wicked counsel, expose deceit, confuse the wisdom of the enemy, and vindicate His children.

As believers, we must rest in the assurance that God’s justice is unfailing. When He rises to act, He overturns the tables of the wicked and establishes righteousness. Trust Him, remain steadfast, and watch Him frustrate every token of the liar concerning your life and destiny.
