Not Everyone That Celebrates With You Have Good Intentions

Category: City Pastor's Teachings




People are easily carried away when they are celebrating success of job promotion, purchase of a new car, building of a new house or the birth of a new baby.

But beware! It is not everyone that comes to you to say congratulation when you celebrate or mark a success that truly wishes you well.

Some people are there to see what they can use to bring down that success you are celebrating.

In this part of Africa it is usual for people when they have a new baby not to allow the baby come in contact with people, relatives, friends until they baby had gotten to a certain age when they believe that his/her destiny is not stolen away from birth.In Matthew 2:7-8, the Bible says, “Then Herod called for a private meeting with the wise men, and he learned from them the time when the star first appeared. Then he told them, “Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so I can go and worship him too!” (NLT)

That is just on the surface. Jesus Christ had been predicted and his mission as a great king was prophesied in the Old Testament by some prophets. When Herod the king during the time of his birth heard that the great king had been born, he was disturbed and planned to kill the child. But of course he couldn't have told the wise men, his real intentions, that he planned killing Christ so he had to lie.

The same way many people lie to get to us when we are making progress in our life, our marriage, businesses and careers they pretend to be good but their real intent is bad, to cause us harm!

And God revealed to the wise men in their dream not to return to Herod but to go by another country (Read Matthew 2:12)

When your enemy discovers you have out-witted them, they get very angry, furious than they were initially, and they become even more dangerous than they were before. They device new plans to bring you down.

“Herod was furious when he realized that the wise men had out-witted him. He sent soldiers to kill all the boys in and around Bethlehem who were two years old under based on the wise men’s report of the stars first appearance.” Matthew 2:16

So when you out-smart an enemy who pretends to be a friend, the tendency is that they don’t give up, so there is a need for you too to intensify your strategy, I mean your relationship with God Almighty who is the only One that is capable of protecting you against an enemy.

“When Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt- Get up!” the angel said. “Take the child and his mother back to the land of Israel, because those who were trying to kill the child are dead” Matthew 2:19 (NLT)But God will make you overcome your enemies in Jesus name.

The same way Herod was unable to kill young Jesus because God was with him, the same way your enemies’ plans will not succeed in Jesus name.
