Benny Hinn, a well known preacher of the Word of God termed anything
that steals the throne of God in our hearts as "Isaac". And I've come to realize that the youth ministry sometimes become an Isaac in my life. It's hard to admit but it is true.For the past few weeks, I have spent too much time at night and even upon waking up thinking what to do next or what program to have in and for the youth ministry of my church.
Being too busy in the kingdom which results to having inadequate time with the King is never healthy. Exhaustion follows this mistake.
I remember one night when fear and insecurity invaded my thoughts. I asked myself why was it happening. I thought my faith got misplaced. I remember what is written in the Bible, that people will be in turmoil and confused, restless and ineffective, if they are not found in God.
That explained my sudden fear attack. I was slowly moving apart from Him; slowly walking away from His shade of grace. With my eyes focused on myself, I started struggling from within, trying to make things in the ministry work smoothly and efficiently which is impossible to happen because I am turning my back on Him. And it was happening unconsciously.
Isaac - anything that wrestles with God - this should be identified and be cast out as soon as possible; before it totally drags you to a dark and distant wilderness.
