Focus: Element of Every Temptation

WORD FOR TODAY
Every temptation either comes as lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life. The Lord will not place something serious in the hands of a man until he through the help of God overcomes the lust of the eye, lust of the flesh and pride of life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world." (1John 2:16 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The major component of worldliness is actually lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. There is no man who has a soft spot for worldliness that will ever overcome temptation. The test the devil will place before you at every point in time will always be in terms of lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

Satan tempted the Lord Jesus using these parameters: turning of stone to bread (lust of the flesh), bowing down to worship the devil in exchange for the glory of this world (the lust of the eyes), and throwing himself down from the pinnacle of the temple because there is a promise of an angelic backing (the pride of life).

The devil is not ignorant of our weakness as men, for he knows that an ordinary man is weak in the face of lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Hence, the only way to overcome temptation is to come after Jesus by denying himself, taking up his cross and walking in his steps (Luke 9:23)
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Have you denied yourself, take up your cross and walk in His steps?

Prayer Point
Lord! I receive the grace to overcome every temptation by denying myself, taking up my cross daily and walking in your steps in Jesus name. Amen

Main Emphasis
You become an overcomer when you are victorious over the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life!!!

Have a Magnificient Worship Experience!!!

When you are consciously aware of your life, people around you and your environments, nothing like spiritual temptation

I think this post is for me. By tomorrow evening, a girl I've develop great affection on would be coming to pay me a visit. You know, since she promise to visit me, a whole lot of thought has been running through me. I've not dated any girl since I gained admission into a paramilitary sch, graduated last October till I met this girl. I met this girl just February 2019, the day I moved from my previous diabolic compound ( witchcraft and occultic landlord) to another location. I met her at a shop where she do registration of sim. She's currently 19! I look dirty because that day i was relocating, so my dress was dirty. My friend was with me, he live in the barrack. He came to assist me in packing my stuff. Why I was looking for POS, I walk up to the girl. Pls where is the POS stand around, she pointed the place for me. Reaching there, the pos guy told me there was no money. I actually know her from my previous location, she was attach with an hair cut saloon, I never knew she was selling and registering sim cards. I thought she was the secretary to the saloon owner, until that faithful day. I told her I've been admiring her right from her previous place where she work, but seeing her as too young to approach & i was too shy to walk up to her in the presence of others. She spoke maturely with me. So I told her I just relocate to the area, and I'll meet her again. Well, we became very close friends. This topic might really be for me. I've seen this girl in my dream several times, although not a good one. I've not met her mom, but she had come to me in the dream, telling me about her daughter. I've told her several times about the dreams I had on her, sometimes I stop talking to her. She has never met a guy in her life ( I'm sure you understand what I mean). She went offline for sometime and I was worried for haven't heard from her. Then I saw her in my dream, we were in a room, the room has one window, why I look through the window' there was trading going on from the other side. Buying and selling of market stuff, garri, rice, green leaf and the rest. Why in the room, she was niked, her body was on my legs as I could hear myself advicing her to calm down, suddenly I stood up. I was telling her to calm down that I've gone through this in the past. That was how I woke up. I truly didn't understood the nature of the dream, so I told my pastor, he said I should be careful with girls, that this girl is gonna bring shame to me. I'm older to her with 8yrs.
You know I was going through a lot, depression, sadness and frustration because of my current state in life. But since we became friends, I was open to her, we chat and I find ease most times with her. Well, what's the cause of my depression and the rest, unemployment, money. I've handle cash in the past, things became rough during my days in sch. I've work onboard a vessel even before i decided to go to further my education. I'm an undergraduate (ND in Mech). Currently my papers has expired and I'm finding it difficult to secure opportunity. It not really easy!

One thing about me is, if I don't have money I won't date or have any affairs with any girl. I won't even have the courage to woo a girl. But this girl talk to me so politely in my first encounter with her. Proving to me that my orientation was wrong, although I'm not a bold guy when it comes to wooing smiley . An handsome guy who can't woo a girl with money!
What is your advice to me? If you wish to hear my entire story, kindly notify me.

When temptation comes, it won't attack your strength....it goes for your weaknesses.

Watch and Pray, so that you don't fall into temptation Mt 26:41
