Topic: Habit 5. Distractions.

 Text:
 ```Job 2:1-2 AMP Job Loses His Health Again there was a day when the sons of God (angels) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (adversary, accuser) also came among them to present himself before the Lord. The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming around on the earth and from walking around on it.”```
 
COMMENTARY 
Uninvited yet attending, for what? Why is Satan always going to the gathering of the children of God? Presenting himself to the Lord is not his priority, he is chiefly looking for whom to distract. As children of God testifies of triumphing over evil with good, the children of the disobedience take pleasure in doing evil and testifies when they succeed in multiplying evil, especially when their intended distractions work out and a child of God compromise to follow evil.

Have you wondered why believers compromise? It starts from this kind of subtle visitation with smooth talks. Satan will suggest softly what you should do. There is power in proximity. Someone who is not close to you might not have something to suggest to you. This is why James 4:7 says "... resist the devil and he will flee from you..." Most times we allow this proximity with self confidence that nothing will happen. Stay at arms length with whatever would pose lust and temptations. This is the wisdom that made Job to conquer and triumphantly regain victory over his accuser.

Job made a popular statement that defines his character and personality in the book of _Job 31:1 NLT “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look with lust at a young woman._ You would know that what sank many brothers into immorality is not bigger than critical looking and in few occasions analysis of beauty of ladies. If you are caught in this kind of web, you are distracted already and could end up a fornicator soonest if you don't retrace your steps.

Food for Thought:
Distraction is produced when focus is despised or belittled._

Prayer:
```Lord Jesus, save my Soul from distractive activities of the devil that is pluralized on daily basis.```

Some of these almanac displayed Jesus and Satan having a soccer. Other Almanac can be a wrestling match between Satan and Jesus and things like that. Satan cannot be known by all those images. Satan is a spirit and manifest through human beings. Therefore in this study we shall look into the habits and manifestations of Satan. One of the ...

02/02/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Illegal Structures.   Text :  ```Jeremiah 1:7‭-‬10 NKJV But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord. Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”```   COMMENTARY One of the foundational significant difference between Prophetic ministers and the rest of the people in the society is eyes. God gives ability to identify original architectural master plans to the Prophets. God give them ability to read and interpret geographical and geological map of families and individual persons lives. God's purpose and plans a...
