Understanding Kingdom Restriction
Bible Text
But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
Genesis 39:8-9
Devotional
Success has its dos and don’ts so also does every profession, life, system and doctrine. The purpose of this is to put restrictions for all believers, but each must discover his own peculiar restriction in walking with God.
These restrictions are not to mar you, but to make and help you to be distinct, and outstanding in the purpose of God for your life. Any anointing or assignment that does not put restrictions on your lifestyle is questionable. To live without a sense of restriction is to be destroyed by the enemy. This was what happened to Samson. Samson had no sense of discipline. Discipline is what helps you to be restricted. Samson became a victim of what he was born to correct. He ignored all the restrictions on his person and so died cheaply.
When you live without restrictions, you submit yourself to the enemy for termination. Pressure will always come to make a man with restriction to go against his restrictions such as Delilah who pressed on Samson daily with her words (1 Samuel 16:16), but discipline yourself by not giving in.
The same pressure Samson faced from Delilah to reveal the source of his strength, and he fell for it (Judges 16:6-18), was the same pressure Joseph had from Mrs. Potiphar and he did not bow.
The only difference was that one was a wife and the other like a boss, but both had influence - one intimacy influence, the other dominating influence since she was the boss’s wife.
Your destiny is too precious to be wasted, know your limit.
Prayer
My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, give me grace for kingdom restriction.
