March 20, 2020 Spirit Meat Devotional :- DON’T BRING UNTESTED MEN INTO YOUR CIRCLE OF INTIMACY - JOHN 2:23-25
Make sure you test people before you trust them. Test before you trust! Only fools trust the untested. We are commanded to love people, but not commanded to trust them. Trust people as far as you need to and as far as they have passed the tests! Intimacy is a reward of loyalty. When you bring men, who have not proven their loyalty into your intimacy; they will limit you so terribly. When you bring untested men into your circle of intimacy, you have given them unspoken permission to hurt you.
Remember: nothing is as it first appears whether good or bad. This is the reason for a lot of broken hearts in ministry today. Don’t judge according to appearances, test before you trust. Don’t bring anyone into your intimacy who has not qualified for it. Our text above said Jesus did not commit Himself to them because He knew all men. Why do you do otherwise? Why do you commit to men that you have not proven because of what they told you?
For heads of ministries, don’t make a man an associate in your ministry who has not passed the test of trust and loyalty. Don’t bring untested men into your circle of intimacy. Intimacy is not a gift; it comes with a price. Also, before God brings you into His intimacy, you will have to pass the test of trust with God. God does not come into intimacy with a man He cannot trust. Trust is a major matter when it comes to intimacy.
You must not put an enemy in your circle of intimacy. You must be careful who seeks to be close to you as you rise higher in life. You must become increasingly sensitive to men as you rise in life. You must know that not every man hanging around you is safe. TEST MEN BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO THEM.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive anointed sensitivity to know and differentiate men from men. Amen!
