He is an undergraduate, but spends more time playing NaijaBet than with his studies... Predicting and winning money more important than school.
She will rather spend her money on her looks than pay tithe, give offerening, or help some one in need...her look is her priority.
He doesn't play with his tummy, take other things, but don't touch his food... Food more important that other things.
She doesn't joke with her night sleep, come what may, she must sleep at a particular time even though her friends needs her company (that's a shade at me, some of my friends hated the fact that I can't deny me a good night sleep lol)... Sleep more important than company of a friend.
I have come to realize that there are two categories in the game of deceit, you are either a deceiver or a 'deceivee' (my grammar sucks, I know lol). The game of deceit in some cases is pleasant to the two parties, someone is receiving you, and you are contented despite the bold handwriting on the wall cause what they are saying is what you want to here.
Sometimes ago I'll say to God "you are the most important to me", but yet, I'll do other things first than do things with or for God, who was I deceiving? Myself of cause. Sometimes, we only fellowship with God when we are free and have nothing important to do, yet we claim God is our all in all.
When something or someone is your priority, you just don't say it, you prove it with yours, not just once, but all the time. A diligent student will read even when it is not convenient, a serious believer will fellowship with God even when other things are screaming for attention, a dutiful lover will meet the needs of the other person even in tight situations.
If you are a deceiver, to be fair, you may not know, but match your words with your actions, any correlation? Stop telling yourself something or someone is important while you are giving your time to something else. You may say something, make a commitment, but when the Chips are down, it is those things that are truly your priority that will get your attention.
And to the 'deceivees', you are in that situation cause you chose to, the hand writing is there on the wall, written in a known language, its your choice not to look, it is yourself to see ignore the spoken words, ignore conscious and unconscious action while you hope in words unspoken on deeds not done. The moment you begin to think or ask "am I really as important to this person as he/she wants me to believe?" Then you are probably not a priority, that is your gut talking, if you are not being paranoia, then your feeling is right.
It is oven said that no one can change you, the real change begins with you, you can decided to stop deceiving yourself and others, likewise, you can stop living in deceit, time is going, every moments lost in deceit can not be regained.
So where do you belong?
