Topic: Be Cautious When Celebrating Victories.

Memory Verse: Isaiah 39:6. I have to warn you, the time is coming when everything in this palace, along with everything your ancestors accumulated before you, will be hauled off to Babylon. God says that there will be nothing left. Nothing.

Bible Reading : Isaiah 39:1-2 MSG. Key Verse : v2.

Sometime later, King Merodach-baladan son of Baladan of Babylon sent messengers with greetings and a gift to Hezekiah. He had heard that Hezekiah had been sick and was now well. Hezekiah received the messengers warmly. He took them on a tour of his royal precincts, proudly showing them all his treasures: silver, gold, spices, expensive oils, all his weapons—everything out on display. There was nothing in his house or kingdom that Hezekiah didn’t show them.

Hezekiah was a Godly king that reigned over Judah in the fear of the Lord. He did what was right in the sight of the Lord by carrying out reforms in his days to destroy evil altars of idol worship and led the people back to the worship of the true and living God of his father David. At a point in time he was sick and God sent his servant Isaiah to inform him to prepare himself and his house because he was going to die and not live. King Hezekiah upon receipt of the message turned to the wall and cried to God to spare his life and heal him, so that he could do more good works for the Lord, and the Lord heard him. “Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.” Isaiah 38:5-6.

After Hezekiah was healed, his friends came to appreciate what God dud in his life. Noe6, the enemy his properity and peace who the king of Babylon disguised and came as a friend and lover. He sent his emiseries with enough gifts to becloud the sense of reasoning of the King. They pretended to come to make friend and show solidarity, but their real mission was to spy his territory. Because the Lord was with Hezekiah, the kings around could not stand him in battles, they had to try to get close as to size him up and know his secrets. King Hezekiah fell for their tricks and gave out vital informations that brewed strong envy. “And what did they see in your palace?””Everything,” said Hezekiah. “I showed them the works, opened all the doors and impressed them with it all.” Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Now listen to this Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies: I have to warn you, the time is coming when everything in this palace, along with everything your ancestors accumulated before you, will be hauled off to Babylon. God says that there will be nothing left. Nothing.” Isaiah 39:4-6 MSG.

Most time we make our worst mistakes when we get carried away by certain victory or something that makes us so happy that we throw caution to the winds for some time out of joy. God’s word rightly admonished that we are always at our best defensively when we live in sobriety. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” 1 Peter 5:8-9. From today, understand that the enemy may want to infiltrate you when you are in celebration and happy mood. When you celebrate your victories as the Lord drops them, always be on the watch because the enemy that couldn’t get you before then, may want to take advantage of your being less cautious to infiltrate and attack your camp.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for your word that preserves me. Help me not to be careless as to fall ptey to my enemies, celebrating my victories from you. Help me by your Spirit to always discern the enemy when they try to infiltrate my camp in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
