FAITH CAPSULE: The devil is with devices to entice all into sin.

2 Samuel 11

The enticement of the devil is a cunning device with no respect to excuse any man under heaven to become a victim of the devil. 
The devil is with devices to entice with an attempt to bring all down into a pit of sin. 
The enticement is the deadliest weapon of the devil. 
The enticement is always what the devil will use to attract a man for the temptation to become a sinner before God.
To be enticed is to be lured away from the point of focus. 
Know and not fall for the devices of enticement but remain focus on the word of God. 
The temptation is not to sin, but it is for man to fall and sink in sin. 
King David did not accidentally fell for the sin of sexual immorality that he committed with Bathsheba (the wife of Uriah). It was through seeing (which is the anchor of enticement) that King David entrapped himself into sin. The Bible records the route that David took to fall for sin: “Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. And from the roof, he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold.” (2 Samuel 11:2)
David was at the right place but at the wrong time to become trapped in sin. David fell for sin when he saw a woman bathing. 
David could not resist the temptation of sin but went on to inquire about a woman belonging to another man. 
Getting carried away by enticement will lead to a deadly avenue of sinning before God.
Are you positioning yourself to be carried away by enticement, the avenue that leads to sin and sinning before God? 
Imagine David, a man identified by God, as a man after the heart of God but carried away into sin and sinning before God?
David failed in the depth of his heart, not to avoid sin and sinning.
Are you paying attention to avoid the wrong place not to become a victim of sin against God? 
Eve could not give attention to avoid the enticement of the devil when she eats from the tree of knowledge against the warning of God not to eat it.
Eve lost focus when she saw that the tree was good for food; that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate with Adam. (Genesis 3:6) 
Without seeing in the word of God, enticement will come to lead one that is unfocused into sin. The enemy of all man is the master of deception that has been around long enough to draw one into the sin of destruction.
Live life to the glory of God, stay tuned, and not be turned off by the devices of enticement by the devil.
Abstain from seeing in the wicked world; begin to see in the Word of God for your deliverance and preservation. 

Prayer for today: Ask that you will not become a victim of the enticement by the devil.
