BIBLE IN A YEAR: Joshua 16-18
AVOID THIS ROBBER
MEMORIZE: "The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death" (Proverbs 14:27)
READ: Proverbs 6:32-33
In Genesis 16:1-12, Abraham sowed a good seed into a bad ground-Hagar, and later a good seed into a good ground-Sarah, and both grounds gave their harvest. One became a curse while the other became a blessing. Your position at the time of the release of God's blessing determines whether your blessing will take the form of a blessing or a curse. If Abraham had released the seed he sowed in Hagar into Sarah, the seed would have cooperated with Isaac and his generations. The world would have become a much peaceful and safer place today. But because he sewed good seed into a wrong soil, the product of that seed grew mightily and became the arch enemy of the product of the good soil in Sarah. When he sewed that seed into Hagar, he had a few minutes pleasure; he never knew he was preparing himself for an evil harvest of sorrows, wars, fighting, deaths, destruction, and general erosion of his good fortunes.
Never attempt fornication or extra-marital affairs. Contraceptives cannot void the effects of fornication! Apart from losing your messiah or child of destiny to a bad soil, you would be preparing yourself for an evil harvest that will destroy all you have worked for, and erode your future. If you want your future intact, flee fornication and all sexual sins! Once a seed is sown, it can never be retrieved in its original state. Be careful. The seed you sow can make or mar you. Your seed can establish or uproot you. This is so because every seed comes with its harvest.
The seed Abraham sowed into a wrong soil remains an eternal regret for both Abraham and Sarah. The effect of sowing a good seed on a wrong soil cannot be imagined! Some bastards have caused so much havoc to families. If you are already married, praise God. Never look out! What you call a pleasurable fling is a death trap that you may never recover from! Unfaithfulness has destroyed many homes. Do you want to lose your children? Never yield to parental pressure to try other grounds if you are still waiting on God. Yielding may not only break your home, but also erode all you ever lived for. It may destroy your tomorrow. Be wise. Be sensitive to recognize the voice of 'Sarah' asking you to try. Usually, it appears harmless. Satan presents sleeping with your secretary or boss as harmless. But when the harvest comes, it may rob you of your job, home, ministry, respect, and all you have labored for over the years. With all your might, avoid this armed robber sent against your soul and body!
ACTIONPOINT: If you want to be an accomplished child of destiny, avoid defilement of women, money and power.

It's a constant minute-by-minute battle trying to keep away from those major temptations. I just pray that God will enable us to run the race without growing weary during this period that we are waiting upon Him.
