EXPECT TEMPTATION

EXPECT TEMPTATION Temptation, temptation , temptation. What a word, what is temptation? Have you being tempted? Were you able to overcome temptation? The questions above were asked because everyone on one instance or the other have being tempted; even myself have being tempted before. If you have not being tempted before, expect it; if you have once being in temptation, expect more. Temptation is the strong desire to do or have something that you know is bad or wrong. You know it is wrong, yet a desire comes to do it; that is temptation. It is an evil act. A portion of the lord’s prayer says “ lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil ”. If you have being tempted before, you will have the impression at first to do the thing, and then before you know it; you see yourself doing it. However, behind every temptation there is a tempter, the tempter is the devil. He moves to and fro looking for whom to devour and tempt. He is behind the persuading act; he persuades one to do things which are wrong and can’t give one a happy end. You notice if you have being tempted before, there is this constant conviction all over you; before you know it you agree and consent. JESUS CHRIST was tempted thrice by the devil when, he had fasted for forty days and forty night. The tempter came to him, and JESUS overcame him by the word of GOD. If JESUS can be tempted , expect temptation; if JESUS can overcome the tempter by the word of GOD, then obviously we can too. JESUS knew temptation will surely come, that why he told us to watch and pray that we enter not into temptation. Don’t only watch, pray likewise; because our flesh is weak, very weak and can be easily tempted. But when you watch and pray, you surely won’t fall into temptation. Also, the scriptures said “resist the devil and he shall flee”. When you hear a voice convincing you to do what you know is a sin before your maker or wrong, it is the devil, resist him immediately and he shall flee. Temptation comes not only from the opposite sex, you can be tempted to change a document in your place of work or steal; it comes in diverse ways. Be prepared for it, because it shall come. Remember, if JESUS was tempted you can’t escape being tempted; and if he overcome it, then you can also overcome. Stay blessed…….share to others

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE! Compliments of the season from this side of the world to you all!!! Knowledge of the Truth is back and better this year. And I pray this year shall be a favorable one for us all. The word Faithful means reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhering firmly to a rule. It means consistency. It means fidelity. As a wife, it is expected you are reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhere to your husband’s rule and command. Ephesians 5 vs. 22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD. The husband is in charge of his wife in the same way CHRIST is in charge of his body the Church. A submissive wife will be faithful without any conditions. She makes fidelity her watchword. A submissive wife obeys all her husband rule and command. A submissive wife is conscious of her wrongs. A submissive wife yields to authority (her husband’s). A submissive wife will always stand by her husband in thick and thin. A submissive wif

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS This is a very fascinating topic, dreams are not delusions. Many do think dreams are just fictions, some see as a normal way of life. Many do not take their dream serious which shouldn’t be, some see dreams as delusions, some don’t even dream, why some forget what they dreamt about. Dream is a medium in which GOD communicates with us, he communicates to us through vision, trance and also consciences, but we are discussing about dream. Although, many a time what you are thinking about before you sleep, you might see it again; but majorly it does not continue like that. The bible said in Job 33 vs 15: In dreams, in vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they lie on their beds; he opens their ears in time like that and gives them wisdom and instruction. That is just a picture of dream, everyone has a dream land; but some’s has been tampered with by the devil. A dream land is an avenue for dreams; GOD gives instructions to us in the dream, ju
