GOOD ATTRACTS EVIL
Genesis 6:1-7

Be conscious in your mind that every good thing will pass through challenges at certain times in life. The author of evil will always take a position in your opposite direction to delay or deny the good that is to come your way. Whenever God is operating in His goodness the devil will operate in his ugliness and that is why he is being referred to as the accuser of brethren. God in His goodness created all to be good. Genesis 1:31, “Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good…” Whatever that was made to be good is also beautiful and there is no ugliness in it. Also, whatever is beautiful will always multiply. The first blessing that was uttered by God after His good work in creating man was the blessing of fruitfulness and multiplication, “Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply…” (Genesis 1:28)  Beauty and multiplication cannot be separated and it will always draw the attention of wickedness. Evidently, with multiplication and beauty taking its place on the earth, “Then the LORD] saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.” (Genesis 6:5-6) Just as beauty and multiplication draws the attention of the wicked, possession of good will also draw the attention of the evil one. The evil one will want to present itself wherever the good ones gather just like it happened in Job 1:6, “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.” As one that loves God and walks in His commands bumping into challenges in your opposite direction is not always an evidence of wrong doing but could be an evidence of the enemy’s attempt to derail and deny your blessing. In your journey to posses all that is good, rest assured that walking in the opposite direction of the evil one is a clear indication of being in the right direction. However, walking side by side with the evil one could be the evidence of being in the same direction with him. Walking side by side is heading in the same direction with evil. Definitely, you do not want to end up in the same place with the evil one. God is good, He made us to be good, beauty and multiplication is our portion. The evil one will be attracted but termination shall be the portion of the evil one.
