You say, "What do you mean?"
Well, when a plane is hijacked, everyone presents their ticket, boards the flight, is seated and then heading to their desired destination. However, sometime during the flight, someone stands up and takes control, and ultimately changes the direction and destination of the original flight plan. An intruder, someone who crept in unrecognized by security and the other passengers, and they've now taken over.
The outcome of hijackings are seldom good.
Have you been hijacked? I'm talking to you dear Christian.
You say, "What do you mean?"
I mean. You started out well. You presented your ticket, your faith to God in Christ, and you boarded the flight of eternal life, redemption, forgiveness, adoption, empowering, discipleship and commissioning. You sat down under the Word of God. You took off into God's plan for your life. You embraced His call upon you to center your life on sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and making disciples of the world. And it was going great!.......until about mid-flight. Then a major distraction stood up, unseen, unnoticed by you, but perhaps other passengers were feeling a little suspicious. Well, this intruder, or perhaps a few smaller intruders stood up and took control of the flight. They changed the direction, the focus, the destination to make disciples and you've veered way of coarse. Perhaps it was a lure into enjoying more of the riches and the promotions this world has to offer. Perhaps it was beginning to enjoy the pleasures of compromise and then the enticements of sin. Or maybe you were overcome with apathy, laziness and a lost zeal that ultimately cost you your time in the Word and in prayer, and you haven't been able to make it up. What was it that so deceitfully hijacked you away from serving God so completely, so surrendered, so sacrificially that now you over analyze any opportunity to serve your King and you've talked yourself out of it before you even pray? What was it that stole your heart away? Or who was it that stole you?
Hijackings seldom end good.
