Temptation

2Sam.11:1-27

Whenever you loose focus in GodÕs assignment for your life, you will gain temptation. King David, having fought successful battles against all his surrounding enemies, he lost focus. He was caught with a temptation that almost terminated all that the LORD anointed him for. 2Sam.11-1 It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to do battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of  Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. David, remaining where he was not supposed to be, he abandoned his purpose. His purpose was to be a leader for the people of God. David was to be leading them to war but temptation declared war on him. When you loose focus on GodÕs calling in your life, you will shift focus to your own personal agenda. You can not serve two masters. You cannot serve yourself and serve God at the same time. It does not matter how long you have been in the Lord nor does it matter the position you are holding in the house of God. Have you left yourself opened up to temptation in any area of your calling? Focus on your assignment; do not allow your location take away you focus.
