SCHOOL OF LIFE: BETRAYAL 

JOHN  2:24 - 25

But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,  2:25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

MEDITATION 

"We are as sheep in the midst of wolves" Jesus admonished; "be as wise as serpent and harmless as dove" he further instructed.  Because we turn deaf ear to this instruction,  we suffer disappointment in the hands of men mostly from those we trust. 

David confessed that a man's enemies are his close associates.  Be careful who you share your secrets with or when he or she finds another master or even your enemy that pays higher, he will use your secrets to buy favour.

Betrayal is turning against your close confidant and delivering him to his enemies for selfish gain. We fall into betrayal trap because we confused love with trust. It's not every thing you must tell everybody about yourself.  Judas was able to betray Jesus because John 18:2 says "And Judas also, which BETRAYED HIM, KNEW THE PLACE: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples."

Jesus was betrayed so we won't be betrayed. Don't  give yourself too much to all men neither expect too much from all men so that you won't be disappointed. Love all men, trust God. Mind the people you give yourself to. 

AFFIRMATION 

I love all people but I mind the people I give myself to.

 PRAYERS

Father, endue me with the spirit of discernment and wisdom to know what I ought to do at all times in Jesus name

Good morning beloved and Happy Easter!
