- Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
- And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
- And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

MESSAGE:
Temptation is a necessary test for your spiritual growth. It is a test to show whether you will choose God above the devil in any matter. If there’s no temptation, how would we prove our love for God or grow spiritually?
One key to resisting temptation is obedience to God. If you resist the devil by running away from sin consistently, you get stronger and it is easier to resist in the future. However if you fall into temptations, it will be harder to overcome it in the future.
“If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” – Proverbs 24:10
Your limited strength will fail you. You need to pray for strength and seek spiritual nourishment. You can also draw strength to resist the devil or overcome temptation when you learn and follow Gods word consistently. May the Lord strengthen you to withstand temptation. My dear, note that its not wrong to be tempted. Even Jesus was tempted but He resisted the devil by the word it is written If you dont know what is written, how will you use it appropriately?
Prayer Point:
Holy Spirit, please be my companion. Guide me from failing.
HYMN 3: ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER
- All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
Chorus:
I surrender all, I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
- All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now. - All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me. - All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame;
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!
