There are so many reasons we cannot all be free from being
enticed to either forsake the right path or fall into temptation. Situations
all around us are an attempt to get us enticed to do the wrong thing to the
detriment of our souls. It is not your making falling into that temptation but,
you are being enticed by a stronger spirit than you to do so.
Being a prostitute is not by your making, you are enticed by
forces beyond you. Being an armed robber is not what you bargained for in life
but, greater forces are behind your falling for it. Being a hired assassin was
not in your heart but, forces stronger than you pushed you into doing so. Being
into one criminal activities or the other was not as a result of your initial
plan but, you are being enticed into doing it as against your will.
It doesn’t matter how long you have been enticed to do what
you didn’t expect yourself doing, you can still stop, though it may seem
difficult to do. You are being enticed to the wrong thing because you have a
greater future lying ahead of you; but the devil and all his kingdom of
darkness do not want you to fulfil that greater destiny. The reason behind your
falling into that evil you are doing was and is because you will be a terror to
Satan and his kingdom of darkness, and all his agents of evil on earth if you
are allowed to do the right thing to fulfil that destiny of yours.
Samson was not prepared for what happened to him for no just
cause; it was to destroy his destiny. Esau was not in anyway bargained for
losing his birthright to his junior brother but, because the devil doesn’t want
him to be fulfilled. Judas Iscariot was not the only one among the disciples of
Jesus Christ, it was the devil who chooses him to do evil against his own soul and
that of an innocent Saviour of the whole world.
Owing to your not being conversant with the wiles and
devices of the devil, you have been enticed wrongly for destruction. Samson in
the book of Judges 14 vs. 1 to 20 was the first experience of how Samson began
to fall for the devil’s enticement. When it seems all attempt to get him was
failing, Samson’s wife was used against him to entice him to fall for
destruction; and he did.
You too, can be enticed to fall for destruction through any
means and by anyone; it doesn’t matter whether they are your blood or an
outsider, but definitely it will be through someone you highly respected or
have regard for as a result of his or her influence on you. You can also be enticed through monetary, material, spiritual, emotion and other means; just for you to fall for destruction in the hands of God. If you cannot be
able to discern well enough, you will be enticed to fall for destruction.
Eve, our ancient mother, was caught in the web of enticement;
and she fell for it and got destroyed. Your fallen for that thing enticing you
or for that person enticing you is a snare to bring you to destruction; don’t
fall for it.
Adam through his wife was enticed to do the wrong thing, and
they fell for Satan and got battered in the process beyond their imagination.
Abraham also through his wife was enticed to go against the plans of God for
his life; he fell for it and also got battered at the end. Esau, because of
hunger was enticed to surrender his birthright, and got the shock of his life.
King David through lust for women got enticed into adultery, and he fell for
it. The result was not pleasant at the long run. So many people who are being
enticed to do wrong thing got battered for doing so at the end.
