Temptation - Ward it off with the Word #810163

There is an African axiom that says; smooth seas do not make skilful sailors. Whatever our level of faith, it is obvious that life is never smooth. God allows temptations to serve as the hard knocks of life that soften man’s rough edges and shape him into something more refined and resilient. Even Jesus our “high priest was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin – Hebrews 4:15”. Consequently, He admonished man in John 16:33; “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

Starting with Salvation as the qualification to access God’s way of escape from temptations, the author takes the reader through Temptation, Types and Sources of Temptation, Temptation by Their Names, and Consequences of Failing Temptation. He assures that Temptation is surmountable, making available the steps to resist temptation before unveiling the Word that wards off various Temptations. He skillfully rounded up with additional educative quotes on temptations.

Read, apply and be blessed. Jesus is Lord!
