The Best, Now BETRAYS.

Text: Luke 22:6 (KJV)

And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

The season we are in, as believers is a special one and we need to understand the importance and be alert. The truth is, in our world of today, we see a lot of betrayals and tragedies, and the most painful part is that these betrayals come from the most unexpected people like our families, friends, even our loved ones; this usually results in a lot of doubt, revenge, and much more. Also, like Judas Iscariot who was one of the twelve apostles. These experiences are usually very difficult to forgive and forget, but despite all of these, there is one thing that makes us not to take this revenge and that is because we remember that we have a new heart and mind in Christ.  In Jeremiah 17:9 - The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? This verse makes us to understand that the hearts of men are wicked and we can see evidences in our world of today. The truth is, people tend to go out of their way to frustrate other people’s effort and plan, while some even wait patiently and sought for opportunities to strike. Therefore, we need to be sensitive. Remember, during the meal of the last super, Jesus predicted that one of them will betray Him. Judas Iscariot was consulted that they might take Jesus by subtle manner to be killed with a bribe. FRIENDS NOW BETRAY BUT JESUS WILL NEVER.  Mark 14:46 - And they laid their hands on him and took Him.

Amazingly, who could even imagine that Jesus’ disciple will betray him all for money? Literally, no one, but Judas proved he could do it. I hope we are not betraying Him today? This makes us to understand that there is no barrier or limit to betrayal. 2 Corinthians 2:11- Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. I tell you, my fellow brothers and sisters, we should not be ignorant of the devices of the wicked rather, we should be careful so as not to be a victim of their plans. The devil is still influencing a lot of people as he entered Jesus’ disciple, but we must remember we have God on our side and all we just need to do ALWAYS is to cry out for direction and guidance. Remember, it is never too late to re-connect with the ever reliable friend Jesus.

PRAYER POINTS: 

1.Oh Lord, help me not to get to a point of regret for my actions and begin to return when it too late, in Jesus name.

2. Father, help us to escape every trap of betrayal set by unfriendly friends in this dark world in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, certain evil association has taken many from their God ordained thrown.
