FAITH CAPSULE: Every right decision keeps one on top of evil doing.

2 Samuel 11:1-22

Making a wrong decision is an avenue for the enemy to invest the life of anyone available. 
To be sleeping in the place of waiting and watching is an open invitation for the enemy to invade with evil activity. 
Among ways of sleeping and allowing the enemy to invest in the life of anyone is by making a wrong decision and engaging in wrongdoing. 
Are you on the verge of making a wrong decision or engaging or embracing the wrong ones?
Making a wrong decision instead of the right decision opens a door for the enemy to sow evil. 
King David made a wrong decision by not going out to the war at the time when kings went to battle. 
The Bible records that David sent Joab and servants. 
The decision of David not to go to war opened the door for the enemy to sow in his life to sin against God. 
David, being in the right place at the wrong time, arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the house. 
While on the roof, he saw Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite, bathing. 
David sent and inquired about Bathsheba and lay with her. (2 Samuel 11:2-5) 
Bathsheba conceived for David while her husband was on the battlefield. As the seed of wickedness grew in David, David set up Uriah for untimely death. 
Uriah got killed on the battlefield because of the setup by King David.
It counted as a sin against David. 
As a result of his seed of sin, he could not fully recover from the consequences of his sin. 
A wrong decision as one sleeping where there is a need to be awake was the doing of David.
David allowed the enemy to sow wickedness in him. 
Engaging in what is wrong is also an avenue for the enemy to gain access to sow what is wrong in the life of one.
It was good doing for Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah when he visited the king of Israel. 
However, it was not a good thing for Jehoshaphat to join with Ahab, the king of Israel, for a battle against the king of Syria after having been warned by the prophet not to go to war. 
Jehoshaphat did not prevent the enemy from sowing wrong when he joined with Ahab, who did not listen to the prophet. (1 Kings 22) 
Jehoshaphat could have died in the war just like Ahab because it was not a war they should have engaged in by the warning by the prophet. Jehoshaphat and Ahab went to war by allowing the enemy to sow wrong in their life. 
It was a seed of untimely death for Ahab while Jehoshaphat escaped death. 
Disengage the representative of Ahab and not become a victim of the wicked one. 
Every right decision keeps one on top of evil, not to become a victim of evil. 

Prayer for today: Ask for the mercy of God to keep you from embracing any wrong.
