TREM DEVOTIONAL FOR 2ND MAY 2025
The worst enemy that you can have is yourself. If the devil cannot get you to work against yourself, the probability that he can get you is slim. If God be for you, no man or devil can be against you. But if you position yourself away from God, you will become a prey to the devil. That was exactly what happened to Saul, and for the past couple of days, we have been doing a study on Saul, to understand where he missed it, so that we can avoid falling into the same trap.
God sent Saul to wipe off all Amalekites. Rather than Saul obeying God, he did what he wanted. So God said to him, Saul, I am disappointed in you. You did not follow the instructions I gave to you. I wanted you to reign in life. I wanted you to have an enduring reign as a king. But you have cancelled my plan for you. Then God said something that is very profound that you can apply to your life. He said, Saul, “…Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, He hath also rejected thee from being king.” (1 Samuel 15:23 KJV)
Can you imagine Saul, a man that God had given the promise, falling just because of the Amalekites; think about it. Why would Saul trade his future just for the little he saw in Amalek? But before you condemn him, check yourself. How many times have you mortgaged your future for a piece of bread? Esau did the same. He sold his birthright for a plate of food. And of course he lost the blessing.
Yes, your sins are forgiven by God, but your actions carry their own natural consequences like shame, and the destruction of your destiny. Don’t fall for the devil’s carrot. He never means well for you. Every offer of the devil has a hidden agenda. Stand on the Lord’s side. It is only the blessing of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow. Hold fast to the word of God. Don’t abort your miracle!
