FROM TODAY'S DAILY MANNA: PERIL OF INORDINATE AMBITION — 1 Kings 1:1–13
Ambition is not sinful, but ambition without godly boundaries can become destructive.
Adonijah wanted the throne so desperately that he exalted himself, ignored God’s timing, gathered conspirators and pursued what God had not appointed for him. Inordinate ambition can turn friends into enemies, fuel jealousy, justify deception, destroy relationships and make people sacrifice character for position.
Never destroy another person to build yourself. Never compromise your soul to achieve your dream. Let God determine your destination, timing and promotion.
True success is rising without falling away from God.
Prayer: Lord, deliver me from selfish ambition. Teach me patience, humility and integrity. Let my success never cost me my soul. Promote me in Your time and for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
