The Weapon Of Flattery In The Hands Of The Seductress by Interesting15: 7:48am On Sep 29
by Sunday Akanni Moshood

So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face, And I have found you. (Proverbs 7:15)

The seductress is an expert in rousing self-importance in people by the way of flattering. The seductress wants you to feel very special, very important, very attractive, and very much needed, but it's all a lie. That particular seductress would have repeated the same lines to another prospective victim if he wasn't the one she met. And while the guy was feeling special and flattered, he never knew he was dealing with a deceitful spirit whose aim is to make you lose your guard after stirring you up emotionally to regard yourself beyond what you truly are.

Scripture considers flattery as disingenuous praise or insincere compliments crafted to manipulate or deceive others. It usually comes from self-interest or deceitful intentions, distorting the truth and leading folks astray.

Flattery has the ability to distract individuals from truth and righteousness, and the allure of false praise can lead a person to make unwise decisions and act contrary to their better judgment

"So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face". Another translation: "You’re the very one I’ve looked for, the one I knew I wanted from the moment I saw you. That’s why I’ve come out here tonight, so I could meet a man just like you."

It's all a lie. The seductress only came out to seek any victim that would wander into her traps. With sweet and swelling words, a seductress can make you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world, the most handsome guy ever, the most intelligent person in the universe, the smartest person created by God, etc, all to mischievously induce some intoxicating chemicals of self-importance in you that can draw you towards the path of self-exaltation. At that point, you see yourself as a god, characterized by a mindset of "I can do whatever I want, it's after all my life." This can shut your mind from any reasonable thoughts about the consequence of the action you are about to take (or shut down the voice of the Holy Spirit if you're a Christian).

You see, the devil enjoys using words to make people feel too important and exalted. In that state, he can influence them to do something against existing right protocols. He tried the same thing with Jesus while tempting Him in the wilderness (Matthew 4). By saying "If you are the Son of God", he was trying to mischievously rouse the LORD into a corner of "You know you can do whatever you want to do". Should Jesus have allowed the flattery to enter His head, it would have been easy to make Him do what is wrong.

"Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits." (Daniel 11:32).

Flattery is a very powerful tool in the hands of bad folks, and even at the end of the age, the kingdom of darkness will still rely vehemently on it to get many people corrupt. But the above verse made us realize the fact that the way to be fortified is to excavate strength from a deep knowing of God (an intimate relationship with Him).

You must get to that point where your self-worth and importance are defined by God's word alone and what He is saying about you. Treat nice compliments with uttermost wisdom, particularly when coming from people you are not 100 percent sure have your best interests at heart. For your own good, learn always to turn your back on exaggerated compliments. Never allow any compliments of any kind to make you start seeing yourself beyond what and who you are.

By God, ensure you have a healthy self-esteem that is not determined or influenced by external factors. In other words, whether or not people are saying lovely things about you, it doesn't change much about you - you always regard yourself as who God sees you as, and that's what truly matters.

"A man who flatters his neighbor Spreads a net for his feet." (Proverbs 29:5).

Sex! The most deadliest weapon of Satan. They will not easily take anti sex threads to FrontPage, as most people are children of Satan.

meobizy:
He’s right. Lies are Satan’s deadliest weapon. The painful part is so-called deeply religious Christians lie without remorse. If their god exists, their “reward” is in the afterlife.

Wrong!

Lies is the most used weapon but sex is the most deadliest weapon. Satan's Nuclear bomb!

Pride is one of his weapons but we are talking about his most deadliest weapon and you see sex induction (seduction) is another weapon attached to sex itself.

Pride is the father of unforgiveness

God bless you brother...I have been in that shoe ..what will ever save a believer from those that flatter u to the extent of wanting to sleep with you...is this ...ask yourself will jesus allow flattering to led him to sin? because our ultimate goal or self esteem is to live the christ-like life style..that what Christianity is all about...the way he is , we should be in this world..that the right self esteem....live for christ and be happy for it because the world and every single thing in it will eventually pass away...don't allow material things of this world define u....because if u are worth is base of the things of this world that passes away ..then indeed such is worthless..beauty fame and money will pass away but he who does the will of God will last forever like God he lived for

Hmm! Someone just told me that "Flatter" refers to flattening someone. Truly when we are flattered we feel like we fall and are flattened.

Just that flatter refers to a sweet fall. Nevertheless, it is still a Fall.

No wonder sometimes when you try to flatter some women they get angrier and walk away meanwhile they were doing it to you earlier. This life is deep o and there are many things to know.

Thanks for sharing sir.
As a believer one of the vices I am recently receiving a dealing on is the spirit of flattery. As a Nigerian, especially Yoruba, naturally I am given to flattery- either giving it or receiving it.
I also recently realised that I still exhibit some of my flattery ways when dealing with some women/aadies.

I am thankful for the new dealing and also this confirmation you've shared. Once he has spoken, Twice I have heard... and I trust in His Power to help me completely overcome this vice and nature.

Grace and Truth multiplied in our lives in Jesus name. Amen.
