Overcoming Temptation
Scripture reading:1Corintians 10,13
No temptation has overtaken you that is unusual for human beings.but God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength.instead,along with the temptation he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to endure it.
As Christians we are sufuring by tempting thoughts, feeling guilty that our strength are not beyond our temptation.we feel ashamed just for being tempted.and this is not true we will never grow in temptation.but we can consider temptation a compliment because satan does not have to tempt those who are already doing his evil will,it is not a sign of weakness or worldliness.but it is a normal part of being human and living in a fallen world.we must not be surprised or shocked or discouraged when it happens.Paul advises that "Remember that the temptations that comes into our lives are not different from what others experience" In other words it is not a sin to be tempted but it's a sign that the devil hates us not a sign of weakness or worldliness even Jesus was tempted,yet he never sinned.temptation only become a sin when we give in to it but when we are tempted and not sinned we become conquers.refuse to be afraid of temptations but face the challenge of being tempted and by God grace you will conquer in Jesus name amen
Prayer: Father I thank you about all the temptations that I have endured and the ones that are coming ahead of me that I will conquer them all because you have given me all the strength in Jesus name amen.
