KEY SCRIPTURE: John 18:3 KJV “Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.”

Judas was, one of the strategic disciples of Jesus because he kept the group’s money. He had gone to negotiate Jesus’ betrayal and now was coming with armed men to arrest the master. What on earth could make a man take such a tangent? Judas had been so loved by the master. The Lord knew he was stealing some of the group’s money. I believe the Lord might have warned him, yet he kept on doing it. It was this tendency of greed that had grown horns that led him to betray his master.  Little sins grow and when they grow, they kill. Stop any wrong tendencies, for it would one day destroy you ultimately

Judas had seen the amazing personality of Jesus, yet he thought of betraying him. What makes men’s hearts so evil? The scripture says the heart of an ‘unregenerated’ man is deceitful and desperately wicked, who can tell? Jeremiah 17:9. The genesis of all this is how one thinks which is influenced by wrong desires If a man should continue living wrongly over time, demons would surely take over the heart of such a person. I believe in Judas’ case the demon who was steering these tendencies in Him, welcomed Satan to take over and do the final kill.

Dear reader, there is no ultimate advantage in doing wrong. To choose evil is to partner with Satan. Now get this point clearly, Satan never uses a thing, and leaves it in its original state. He is naturally destructive. Anything that passes through his hands must be destroyed. It takes the mercy of God to save anyone who gets into Satan’s grip. The end of every evil path is destruction, except God shows mercy, through the intercession of a loved one. Know also that God may not show mercy to save evil workers, unless an intercessor, stands in the gap, for such a one, to be saved. Please dear one who is given to being mischievous, your way is only destruction unless you repent. Judas ended up committing suicide.

THOUGHT: WRONG ACTIONS MAY SEEM REWARDING YET, THERE IS ALWAYS A HARVEST OF ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION
