2 Chro V1. Why would your position becoming strong draw you away from God? As a Christian how do guard against that. Is this an old testament problem?

There is that kind of peace that only God can give you and it comes from true worship .. King Asa knew that

When we put our whole trust in God, He is forever faithful and holds our hands towards the right direction. May we continue to be the “Asa’s” in our generation, walking in the perfect will of God

Look at David, a classical case study

Iyewande Oladokun just now ··· What stood out for me today is obedience to God’s word and following his ways is very key.

The earlier read already said the people who were serious about God had already left the land ruled by Jeroboam. The fact that that man was still in that land should've been a warning to the younger prophet
