FAITH CAPSULE: Know to avoid being distracted.
Judges 16
Grace and mercy have brought you this far.
Know that the grace of God will see you through the coming days, weeks, months, and years.
Pray that being distracted will not have a place in you to deny and derail you from arriving at divine assignment shall not answer over your life.
What is distracting is not of God but of the devil.
Seven things that come with distraction are:
Distraction can terminate the calling of God in the life of one.
Distraction will not announce itself to derail one with purposed agenda.
Distraction will derail or deny one with the loss of focus on God.
Distraction will assault to prevent one from getting to the divine assignment.
Distraction can be a denial agent against a man not to walk in the Lord, to answer the calling of God.
Distraction can also be an indefinable force that will deny a man from having faith to please God.
Distraction can build up discouragement.
Samson was to be a deliverer of his people by the hand of God.
Before the birth of Samson, God sent an angel that said to his mother, “Indeed now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son. Now, therefore, please be careful not to drink wine or similar drink, and not to eat anything unclean. For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” (Judges 13:3-5)
Samson was to deliver his people when distraction led to his disobedience before God.
Samson was wrong to reveal the secret of the power of God over his life to his wife (Delilah) and made him become a victim at the hand of his enemy.
Deny distraction not to derail you.
A delay this far with no manifestation of expectation is not a denial of one.
Do you have Jesus in your house with a distraction denying you not to gain and retain His presence?
Martha welcomed Jesus into her house but was distracted.
Luke 10:40 records, “But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, ‘Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, tell her to help me.’”
Also, know that Your heart is your house.
Deny distraction from having a place in your heart.
Distractions will build up to experience a delay.
Delay will not deny you disallow distraction in your heart.
Pray against the spirit of distraction not to have a place in your life.
The source of distraction for one not to live life for the glory of God can be from the closest ones.
