The Crusades were military expeditions by Christians to wrest the Holy Lands from Moslem control during the medieval period.
In 1202, a fourth crusade was initiated to re-capture Jerusalem after it fell into the hands of the Muslims. Armies were gathered from across Europe for this purpose. A nominal leader of the crusade was Boniface of Montferrat. While on the way to their mission to Jerusalem, Boniface made a detour to visit his cousin, the king of Germany, known as Philip of Swabia. This proved to become one of the costliest detours in history. On that visit Boniface was enticed to abandon his mission and head to Constantinople instead to help reinstate Prince Alexius IV Angelus on the throne for a handsome payment of gold and silver.
After the crusaders helped reinstate the prince they were enraged to find that he failed to fulfill his promises. In retaliation, the crusaders attacked and plundered the city, despite the fact that Constantinople was the world’s largest Christian city at the time. Their action infuriated people in the surrounding Christian towns. This eventually led to the collapse of Christendom in the region and in the long run facilitated the expansion of Islam right into the heart of Europe.
To reach our highest potential, we have to avoid distractions from our mission and vision.
Many of us have been called to great assignments but allowing unnecessary detours on the journey is threatening to abort that vision. Especially in these last days, our focus should be on fulfilling God’s divine assignment for our lives, rather than allowing ourselves to be distracted by mundane pursuits of gold and silver. Indeed there is a need for soberness so that our place will not be lost in destiny. Right now the tempo of distractions are at an unprecedented level on the earth, the enemy is releasing his greatest temptations and weapons of mass distraction to derail many from their divine call.
As believers, our destiny is under serious contention this is why we can no longer afford to entangle ourselves with things that have no eternal value.
Therefore in this season, let our main focus be on the pursuit of God and His kingdom. This is the key to enjoying constant victory and overflowing blessings!
Truly as we seek God’s kingdom first, every other thing will be added unto us.
PRAYER: Lord, Please enable me to maintain the right focus in life. Help me never to give room to distractions but rather to keep pursuing after You and Your kingdom at all times in Jesus Name!
