(TEXT : James 1:2)
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
FOCUS :
In the journey of life, there is no how wise you are, prudent you might be, intelligent you may sound, smart you could be, rich you are, influenced you might have become, or even spiritual awakening you might be: “YOU MUST BE TEMPTED.” The journey to the cross for our Lord Jesus Christ, wasn’t a smooth journey: rather, it was rough, tough, tempted, tested and brutal.
In addition, people might promise you heaven and earth the moment they can still breath with the two hole in their nose. But the moment they can only breath with just one of the hole in their nose, “you are own your own.” However, in the life of any believer, temptation its not negotiable. And that is why we must expect temptations from any angel, but if we are always on the Lord’s side, you will always overcome, because you are not made by God to be defeated by the devil.
Job 1:7-12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
Finally, among every believers “temptations”; will always come towards us at every journey of our Faith. The devil will tempt you, and He will still use human beings like yourself to persecute you and to torment you. You must make up your mind to sustain your level of endurance so that you can “testified” in the journey of faith. Little frustration here and there, persecution here and there, provocation here and there, torment here; and of course, little temptation here and there: will sooner or later “leader you to your promise land.”
Job 42:12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
