The Afflicted Star (part 1)

                                                           
The Afflicted Star (part one).

Who is a Star,  star are wonderful creatures of the Almighty God  and are beautiful to behold when they appear in the sky, They are so charming that they cannot be ignored,  They are so attractive that they can never be over looked by any eyes that behold them. Little wonder some people in sports, entertainments and in other fields of endavours are often referred to as stars because of their outstanding skills and brilliance.
           A Star is a man of outstanding excellence like Daniel(Daniel 5:10-15).
A star is a man of exceptional characters and vision like Joseph.(Gen.39:5-9).
A star is a man with a champion mentality like David.(1 sam.17:23-54).
A star is that man who is never discouraged from achieving his aims and goals regardless of the challenge before him like Joshua and Caleb(Num.14:6-9).
A star is a man of outstanding bravery and a champion of his people like Samson (Judge15:4-17).
A star is that man who is not limited by gender or status when in search of glory like Deborah (Judges 4:4-17).

  CAN A STAR BE AFFLICTED ?
AND BY WHO?
Yes, a star can be afflicted by Sin. Samson was a great warrior and a champion of his people who single handedly conquered the armies of the enemy but was conquered by the laps of a common philistine harlot(Judges 16:15-20),
A reception was organized in honor of a then heavy weight boxing champion of the world by his State government, after the reception, rather than return back to his base to prepare for his next fight, he stayed back in the five star hotel where he was lodged by the state government and was flirting around with all kinds of prostitutes arranged for him by state officials ,when he eventually went back for his fight. He was beaten silly by his opponent and he never recovered from that shameful outing, as a matter of fact, he’s now back to his former job as an officer in the Nigerian police.
Yes, a star can be afflicted by household enemies. from the day the brother’s Joseph discovered that their father loved him so much above them and from the day he narrated his dreams to them, the hatred and envy against his life escalated(Gen.37:1-11).
I once told the story of a young man who was afflicted with madness after he graduated with first class honor in mathematics, the young who happened to be the only graduate in his entire family  at that time was sent into the streets completely naked by his  uncles wife who had earlier vowed that on no condition will her children bow down to any other person in that family.
Yes, a star can be afflicted by hater’s of good news. What the wise men thought was good news became a bad news to Herod as he ended-up destroying many innocent babies in a bid to destroy the good news (mathew2:1-16).
A certain young man n his early fourties once lived in abject poverty inspite of his gift and brilliance, this was a man who did not go to the University or attend any technical school but was so god when it comes t technical matters. Even though he never acquired any formal training yet, he fixed very serious technical faults that the foreign engineers could not handle and this prompted his closed- friend to take him to a prophet who told him that a particular witch in his family who was present on the day an oracle priest told his father that a solution to many  problems has been born and that he will grow with extreme wisdom to fix what many people cannot fix,
then took the information and engaged the services of her coven colleagues to cast a spell on him.
4)Yes, a star can be afflicted by envious and jealous people. the same king Saul who promised all manner of goodies for any one that can kill Goliath, the same king Saul that gave David all the support he needed to confront Goliath suddenly turned around and began to hunt for David’s life simply because the women sang his praises and so this provoked him to envy and jealousy (1 Samuel  17:23-39)(1 Samuel 18:5-9).The story of king Saul and David can be likened to what happened to a certain young man some years ago. This man who was a brilliant human resources manager was recruited by a bank to resolve the catalogue of personnel issue that has remained untouched for a very long time. contrary to the expectation of his immediate boss who had thought he wouldn’t be able to do it,
he did it excellently well and that earned him commendation from the management but the praise showered on him provoked his boss to envy and jealousy as he was poisoned through his tea by an unknown person in the office.
