FAITH CAPSULE: Are you engaging any challenge that is inviting inquisitor into your life?

Genesis 19

Is there any inquisitor of your challenge?

In time of life challenge, it is important for a believer to stand in the Lord and know not to encourage any inquisitor in one’s life. Job was exposed to life challenges when God identified him as integrity, blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil. (Job 2:3) Despite God’s identification of Job, Job’s wife showed up as discouraging inquisitor when she stated, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!” (Job 2:9) God saw Job as a man of integrity but his wife saw him as a man that was wasting time by waiting on God.
Are you engaging any challenge that is inviting inquisitor into your life?
Is your inquisitor your closest one or you have taken a position of self-inquisitor without you knowing?
The wife of Lot took a position of self’s inquisitor by disobeying God’s direction for her deliverance from life termination. At the time of Sodom and Gomorrah’s destruction, Lot and his wife were given an escape of direction stating, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.” (Genesis 19:17) Just as they advanced on the route of escape, the wife of Lot could not accept God’s direction but to question God’s direction of escape. The Lot’s wife acted as an inquisitor of God’s deliverance plan of escape for Lot’s family as she, “…looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.” (Genesis 19:26)
As a conscious or unconscious inquisitor, what is your position in response to life challenges?
Often time, man allows the act of negative inquisitor to take position of denying blessing in place.
Jesus did miracles on every ground but was rejected at His own city of Nazareth. The people were inquisitors wanting to know the source of His wisdom and the work of His hand. In His people’s eyes, He was just the son of a carpenter; the mere son of Joseph and Mary. It must have been so much and the Bible testified, “… He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.”(Mark 6:5) If there was to be a place for Him in regard to greater work being manifested, should that not have been His home place and among His people? Will you desist from being inquisitor of God? Today, let God take charge of your life.
The people of Nazareth failed to appreciate the anointing upon the life of the Anointed One. Let Jesus know that you appreciate Him today. Go the extra effort not to be an inquisitor to miss the blessing of God.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of God to deny the spirit of inquisitor that delivers escape.
