FAITH CAPSULE: Doing right wrong is certain not to receive right answer.

2 Samuel 11

With no exception, Colossians 1:28 sounded warning to every man, “Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.” Are you one that is taking to the word of God as warning? Word of God is true warning for man to gain understanding and know to be free so as not to become a victim of wickedness of this world.
In line of warning, 2 Timothy 2:1-4 also sounded warning to man, “You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.” Are you an acclaimed soldier of Jesus Christ? Regardless of title among believers there is no exception from warning in the word of God.
As a good soldier of Jesus Christ, you have been called by God and your calling has marked and identified you as an enemy to the camp of the devil. As a result of your stand in the Lord, you can no longer take or stand on any ground at any period in time. Taking such a stand is letting down your guard as a soldier of God. Letting down your guard is allowing your enemy to bring its war to your front.
King David a soldier for God and a leader lowered his guard for the enemy to strike him. Despite all the victories of King David, he was not able to fight a war of success when adultery brought its war to David’s front. One of the major causes of King David’s loss of battle was recorded in 2 Samuel 11:1, “It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to 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.” King David was at the right place at the wrong time. As a prime target of the enemy, there is no room for mistakes that are life consuming. As a believer, you cannot afford to be at the right place at the wrong time nor at the wrong place at the right time.
The warning word of God is written for our learning (Romans 15:4) With attention to the warning word of God is to identify healing and deliverance from the vices of wickedness under heaven. Apostle Paul admonished “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:10-11)

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of God  to be giving attention to His warning .
