05/03/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Association that disconnect divinity.

Text: ```Matthew 2:9‭-‬10 NKJV
When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.```

COMMENTARY
The Star which is a symbol of divine guidance disappeared while the wise men visited Herod. The conversation between the wise men and Herod appeared to be cordial but the resultant effect on the wise men was devastating. If they knew who Herod was, the bitterness of his heart and jealousy of his spirit, they wouldn't have visited him in the first place.

If God is guiding you, remain in his guidance and don't confuse it with unwarranted honor. Herod did not deserve such honor to go to his house and be asking him about the Messiah. He went and gathered the scribes and the priests but with a very wrong motive. Enquiring about when and where the Messiah is to  be born. Wise mens' visit to Herod aggravated the jealousy of his heart and made him to order the killing of every young child when he felt he has been mocked by the wise men.

Every relationships that God didn't guide you into will always turn soar. The friendship that the wise men thought they would make with Herod turned soar. You could be a wise young man whom God is grooming and guiding. These wise men instead of looking for spiritually sensitive class of people in town of Bethlehem, they went to identify with the political class. Why would you start a journey with the spirit and later turn to flesh? The moment they woke up, identifying that going through Herod's palace was a wrong move, the star which guided them from the East resurfaced again.

Food for thought: You can't be having divine directive and yet follow human dictates.

Prayer: ```Lord! Help me keep hold of your leadings and directices at all times. Disconnect from every wrong association in Jesus name.```
