FAITH CAPSULE: When focus is not properly fixed on God (Word of God), enemy will occupy.

Philippians 4

When anxiousness sets into man’s life, enticement is set to move into man’s life making man not to wait for God’s appointed time. The warning of Philippians 4:6-7 is for man to have a knowing edge by waiting patiently before God. It is written, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
The enemy is the master of deception and he has been around long before man.
The enemy attempted Jesus but failed because Jesus, the Word of God was full of word that was more than enough to deny devil. Be assured that if enemy could attempt Jesus, we are no exception for him to attempt. Thank God for the word of deliverance.
If one’s focus is not properly fixed on God (Word of God), the enemy’s enticement will tie one down for destruction. It does not matter how strong you are standing in the Lord; the enemy will knock on your door with the purpose of knocking you down. The enemy is still knocking on doors and having men with huge and small ministries down.
The enemy knocked on King David’s door, but he was too careless to give devil’s enticement all the room to occupy. He knocked on Adam and Eve’s door and all Eve saw was good in evil and the enemy achieved his goal. He knocked on Jesus’s door, but Jesus was too full of word and denies devil a space to occupy Him.
Samson, as strong as he was, was enticed, and was brought down from where God placed him. It is written, “And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, ‘Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.’” (Judges 16:5) Samson was a miracle child born with special instructions from heaven. As regard to Samson, the Bible documents in Judges 13:5, “For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” The man, Samson, ended up blind, because he could not be obedient according to the Word of God. Enticement produced a hole in Samson’s strength. The hole in Samson’s strength caused his power to become deflated from what God had pumped into him before he was born.
God will answer our prayer today, in Jesus’ name.
Did the word not promised that, my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus? (Philippians 4:19)
Do you believe?
Prayer for today: Ask for God’s hand of deliverance in every area of life where you have become a victim of enticement.
