No need for BETRAYAL.

 

Text: Luke 22:6 (KJV)

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

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 unexpected people that are close to us, like our families, friends, even our loved ones; this usually results in a lot of doubt, revenge, and much more. 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? The truth is, people tend to go out of their way to frustrate other people’s efforts and sought for opportunities to strike. Therefore, we need to be sensitive.

We even have an example in the bible, Judas Iscariot. Who could even imagine that Jesus’ disciple will betray him all for money? Literally, no one, but Judas proved he could do it. All for money (thirty pieces of silver), he turned against Jesus. 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. We should not be ignorant of the devices of the wicked, but instead we should be careful so as not to be a victim of their plans. The devil is still influencing a lot of people, but we must remember we have God on our side.  It is never too late, you can cry to Him now because He is listening to you.

PRAYER POINT

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.

ACTION QUOTE: If you have escaped betrayal, share with a friend.
