1 Kings 11:1; “King Solomon was obsessed with women. Pharaoh’s daughter was only the first of the many foreign women he loved-Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite.”
If we read the Word of God too quickly, we miss many important lessons. Here is one of them. Solomon was obsessed with women. That obsession ended up his destruction, the dividing of the kingdom, evil kings from Israel, many defeats by enemy nations, multiple captivities into foreign nations, multiple losses of treasure and territory causing their inheritance to shrink instead of grow. Still think that your obsession is a victimless activity?
First if all his obsession caused him to break God’s law by marrying foreign women. That wasn’t enough. He lusted after every fair madden in the kingdom and kept his bed full of them. This sounds like a sex addict.
Where was the prophet during all this? There is no record of God warning him or any Levite or High Priest rebuking him. It appears no one cared about any of this.
The lesson here is about our own obsessions (blinding spirits). None if them can produce anything good. When we are caught up in these obsessions it makes it very difficult to hear the Holy Spirit. Obsessions are another form of “idol-worship” because the obsession has all our attention, energy, money and allegiance. Left to itself it will replace our relationship with Jesus and our obsession becomes our god.
Problem? When we are obsessed we can’t see it. We all must seek God to break through to our spirits and show us if we are obsessed anywhere with the determination of repentance and delivery from the blinding spirit of obsession. It’s not easy, but with the assistance of the power of the Holy Spirit, we can find the victory.
