Pest like

Pests are things that can ruin and
we don't want them around us. We try all our best to get rid of them.
Taking rats/mice for instance, they scare me. At the sight of one I will jump and ensure it is out of sight before my feet touches the floor.
I guess some people are bold enough to kill them but I don't have such boldness.
You wonder why I am writing about pest, am not about to study their existence or mode of breeding.
In life some people are pest on your being. They might be friends, colleagues, family member or just a neighbour. Seriously the sight of them brings one problem or the other.
Some of such people, you just walk away from them and they are forgotten while some will always re-visit even when its obvious you just want friendship from distance.
It's not because you dislike them or you are not Christian but the more they are around you, the more challenges and problems arise.
Taking the wife of lot for example Genesis 19:26 KJV "But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt".
She could not get Sodom and Gomorrah out of her system even though physically she was out but within she was tied there. That was why she did not heed to the warning of not looking back she did and faced the consequence.
Some relationship(s) will not enhance you to fulfill purpose in life if they do not keep drawing you back, keep you at a position, they will destroy you.
Just as a mice will ruin as much things as permitted if you do not get rid of it, so will some so called friends will ruin you physically, Materially, Maritally, Academically, career wise and so on.
Also your personal level of relationship with some habits can ruin you if you don't do away with them. For example you take A constant dose of Pain reliever everyday without consulting a Medical Practitioner on the best way out and years after you are addicted to it. Your addiction is not the only problem but the side effect of the self medication turned to drug abuse on your body is a major problem.
Yours might not be drug/medicine abuse. It might be the ability to own and build a mansion with the word of your mouth, whereas you can hardly pay rent for your box  room apartment that is ruining you gradually. People you boast to will eventually lose trust in you because when the truth comes out where will you hide? You are a professional liar I suppose, so you can fabricate another make believe(gba kan gbi pardon my yoruba language). One day it will blow up in YOUR FACE.
Another pest like way is pretending to like someone just because you dislike them. You say the sweetest things to them but place curses on them secretly. Just like a rat/mice bite and chew available toe and blow air on it so that the owner of the toe even though will face pain later will keep sleeping whilst the rat/mice conclude its mission.
Psalm 62:4 KJV"They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah".
Psalm 62:4 NIV"Surely they intend to topple me from my lofty place;they take delight in lies.With their mouths they bless,but in their hearts they curse".
Some people are exactly the way the scriptures in Psalm 62:4 said. There intention within is not obvious because they do not do what they have inside to you. They appear to be there for you but they are against you.
Pests never have good intention for the host its all about them. How they can feed off the host and survive whether its at the expense of the host its non of their business.
As believers we must wake up and do away with all pest like people, habit and so on. It can be difficult to do at time buts make sure you involve God to help you. Even if you are a heavy weight champion, somethings or people can render you powerless and helpless if you do not take caution when necessary.
I pray that God will open your eyes to see the pest like situation, thing or person in your life in Jesus name.
Also as many that are pest unwillingly God will deliver you in Jesus name.
To identify the pest like things or people God must open your spiritual eyes to see the motives of those things spiritually and your physical eyes to see the pretence where hidden.
May we not fall prey of pests in life in Jesus name amen.
