FAITH CAPSULE: Do not become a victim of distraction.

Genesis 11:27-32, Acts 7:1-8

Distraction is a deterrent that prevents one from arriving at the calling of God, the center of divine assignment.
Distraction is a reducer bound to reduce its victim.
Distraction is not of God but the evil to silently cause and lead to untimely or sudden termination of life.
Distraction can sneak into the life of its victim.
It will delay or deny one to gain and retain the presence of God.
An agent of distraction can be the closest one, whether far or near, and such an agent can be known or unknown to the victim of distraction.
What is your distraction?
Prayerfully is to be detached from a known or unknown agent of distraction physically or spiritually.
Imagine the documentation of Terah, the father of Abram (Abraham).
Terah was living in Ur of the Chaldeans when he set to go to the land of Canaan with his family.
When Terah arrived at Haran, distractions derailed going forward, not going to Canaan.
Genesis 11:32 records, “So the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran.”
Terah was a victim of distraction and did not arrive at the desired location.
Terah was not aware of his distraction.
God appeared to Abraham to move Terah to Canaan. (Acts 7:2)
Terah stopped at Haran, which could be the distraction of reluctance.
Worshipping of the moon in Ur was the same at Haran to prompt Terah to stop at Haran until he died.
The mourning of Haran, the son of Terah, is also a reason to move to Canaan before stopping at the city of Haran, where Terah died.
FACTORS OF DISTRACTION THAT DERAIL ARE EVIDENT IN THE LIFE OF TERAH ARE:
Terah was reluctant and did not focus going forward, and the desire for change was not.
Terah was reluctant, not wanting to move from Ur because the call to move forward went to Abram.
Terah could not focus on moving away from the place of worship. At Ur to Haran, worshipped the moon as in Ur.
Terah could not let go of Ur till he died at Haran.
The drive that moved Tearh from Ur at the death of his son must have died down when he got to Haran.
Prayer is a key to locking out the force of distraction.
Ask that the spirit of reluctance that procrastinates to derail moving forward shall not have a place in your life.
Ask that every force that distracts one not to move for the glory of God be terminated in your life.
Ask the force that denies focus, an agent of distraction, to be crushed and not exist in all your ways of life.
Terah could not let go of Ur till he died at Haran.
Ask that goodness and mercy shall deliver you from sudden death rooted in distraction.
Ask that any expected or unexpected issue with the capacity to distract physically or spiritually shall not locate you.
