1st Kings 22: 32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
To go to battle was a plan concocted by devils, who used the ungodly Ahab to ensnare Jehoshaphat into doing something that could have potentially cost him very dearly. The Christian in our day should be very careful to parse any suggestions to do anything that God has not ordained, or given you the clearance to do. This is especially the case when the suggestion might be to go to places, or to do things Christ has expressly forbidden.
To make investments following the counsel of folks who do not fear The Lord, is to walk into a potential trap which satan specializes in. Yes, the advice given might be coming from the experts, with the best of intentions, but if it’s the case that God is not in their thoughts, they can be used as agents to lead you into snares which you may deeply regret. The devil is always looking for ways and means to devour the Christian and some make the mistake of thinking that the word devour would only refer to devouring you spiritually.
But guess what, he could devour you financially, he may devour you socially, or even physically, if we are not very careful. For instance, if someone suggested that you go with them to the social event, to that particular nightclub in the Dominican Republic, and you went, you could have been devoured physically, and if that turned out to be the case, the next voice you would hear is the voice of God calling you to either eternal day, or eternal night.
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
