Running At Once. By Danny Michael K***a
Genesis 39:12 And she caught him by his garment , saying lie with me. And he left his garment in her hand, and fled,and got him out.
The enemy of our soul spies us carefully in order to find an opportunity to cover us with their pollutions, he tries to know every movement we make so that we are pursued cannily or intelligently. Just as a thief spies to come for plundering things, adulterers and adulteresses have tactics to play to drink water from a stolen property.
Mrs Portiphar kept her lustful eyes on Joseph, chased hard after him until that time when he was busy doing his work, caught him and asked him to consent to sleep with her, threatened him with what she had planned to do if he was to refuse, Joseph did not care, he fled and left her disappointed.
The children of God must not think at anytime that the enemy is not spying them to catch them and turn them into his vessels. They are to be strong in the Lord by remaining in His upright ways. God has given them all strength to flee from temptation and to resist and to overcome them.
Christians we are here to disappoint the workers of iniquity and to please the God of all our righteousness. Although we are to disappoint the workers of iniquity by not joining them in the participation of their sins, we are to love their souls by conveying and preaching to them a message of repentance, their souls are in danger, they must repent of their sins to get out of danger and to have the true bliss now and in the world to come.
The hour of temptation is a difficult hour, we are to ask God to help us fight and triumph over temptations and the tempter, we should not hesitate in temptations, we are to seriously run from them.
