Prayer Goals:
*Exposure and restraining of the treacherous people in your life.
*Stop treachery and betrayals from trending in your life.
*Be surrounded with loyalists and not sycophants.
Bible Base: Psalm 55: 12-14, Job 19:13-14,19
Sadly, betrayals never come from your enemies.
Betrayal is disloyalty at its peak. Another word for betrayal is Treachery. The emotional hurts from betrayal is most often worse than physical pain. Hence, David cried about it in Psalm 41:9-10.
A treacherous person backstabs, betrays confidence, is hate-full, deceptive, disloyal, throws friends under the bus, etc.
God hates treachery even among married people. Hence His Word says,
“Let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth.(Malachi 2,:14-I6)
In both the Old and New Testaments, acts of betrayals ended in the loss of life.
Example 1: Ahitophel.
Ahitophel was King David’s trusted friend and cabinet minister, and grandfather of Bathsheba.
Bathsheba was Uriah’s wife, with whom David committed adultery. David murdered Uriah by proxy in order to hide the sin.
Although It was a shameful thing to happen in that era, it by no means justified his later actions. Even though Ahitophel resented David for it, Divine justice was served.
And when the opportunity arose to vent, Ahithophel sided with a rebellious son in order to avenge the scandal.
And he ended up dead with his own hands, when his plans failed.
Read it up in- 2 Samuel 25:32-37, 16:21-23. 17:1,14,23; 18:6-15. Psalm 41:9
Example 2: Judas Iscariot:
He was a trusted disciple of Jesus Christ, who sold him out to the religious bigots.
And when the enormity of his betrayal hit Judas Iscariot, he took his life: just like Ahitophel before him.
Ahitophel and Judas Iscariot, personified betrayals. They were both trusted friends who sold out to the enemy ( See 2 Samuel 15:31, 17:1-4, Matthew 26:14-16; Luke 22:2-6).
And both of them ended up the same way- death by suicide ( See 2 Samuel 17:24, Matthew 27:5)
God abhors treachery:
* Because it makes people irreconcilable or unappeasable (Read 2 Timothy 3:4).
Peter denied Jesus Christ but was restored.
Thomas doubted Him but his faith was built up.
Can you tell me about what happened to Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus Christ?
Part 2
Refuse to allow anger, bitterness, resentment. etc fester in you, it will produce treachery!
