Temptation is an important subject in the Christian faith, the word temptation means an intentional enticement of a person by setting a bait or the act of tempting or state of being tempted.
The plan of the devil for every child of God is that we do not finish strong; so, he set several baits and hindrances for us to fall and stumble along the way.
The ultimate plan of God is for us to go through the fire of life and scale all hurdles and traps the enemy has set for us and come out stronger bigger and better Isaiah 43:2; Dan 3:16 – 28.
What does it mean to be blessed during temptation? The word blessings mean God’s protection and favor in one’s life. Looking at the life of Joseph, he was the beloved of his father.
He had a promising future and found himself in the pit to be faced with several temptations in his master’s house, he was charged with an offence he didn’t commit and went to prison Gen 39:6-23.
Throughout the whole situation, God was with him even in the prison preparing him. God’s blessings, protection and favor were upon him until his time of manifestation was set. What the enemy meant for evil God will turn it for Good for you because of His blessings upon your life.
In summary, in our Christian journey; God has not promised us smooth sailing but a safe landing Jeremiah 29:11. We are going to be faced with different temptations in our destiny James 1:2-3 we must stay focused and run with patience to obtain the prize.
Lord, we pray this day, deliver us from every temptation of sinful vices that’d make us lose the habitation of Christ in us, the Hope of glory, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen.
You will have good success this 2022.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
