YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA


YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA


"The only time we want to how irresponsible we are is when we back up our acts of disobedience with reasons either genuine or not. "

It is not forbidden when you see that beautiful creature. Of course she is the handiwork of the perfect God, but when you begin to crave for an intimate relationship with her so you could access her, you are yielding to temptation already.

Do not create an atmosphere where your flesh will be gratified. Do not say after the whole thing that you were blindfolded. You started the whole thing, why will you blame the devil or anybody? You are the sole factor responsible for your downfall.

There is no doubt that everything surrounding us is not attacking temptation but rather influencing it. We can create our own atmosphere which is the presence of God to sanitize our heart and to keep our eyes from beholding vanity.

It is not the pleasure of God seeing His own yielding to temptation.

I want to remind you this day that you have the capacity within you to resist the devil and His temptation. The reason why you keep falling into trap is because you have refused to build capacity.

Your capacity is weakened when you surround yourself with stuffs that propagate temptation. You will continue to rise and fall if you continue to partner with those ungodly folks.

Do not let your wall of defense be broken by engaging yourself in stuffs that promote temptation. Build yourself up. Simply renew your mind and you see how those trashes will give way. Journey with friends who cherish your purity this year.

Yield not to temptation for yielding is sin. His grace is sufficient for you and your response to His sufficient grace is to desist from every element of temptation.

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy.  I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me.  So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms.  For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things.  A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental...

THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL  THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1) Moral to the story: God wants, no, He needs us to pray.  CAUTION: Don't pray amiss.  The kid's love story is that of the author herself; Debi Pearl. She had just turned 13 when she first saw her man in a program  and immediately she knew he was the right one for her. Of course the man didn't notice her not until many years later. Why would God bypass a guy of at least 21 years old, and come to a kid of 13 years old telling her he was the one she was going to marry. Sounds weird right?  God does not do anything without a reason. He is the God who knows the end, right from the beginning.  When the young Debi got home, she told her mum, and her mum began to follow her up to always pray for the man of God. The young Debi took it upon herself, praying for the man of God. She wasn't praying to be his wife, neither was she praying for him to notice her. She...

THREE TYPES OF WOMEN (CHAPTER SIX)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL Moral to the story : Learn and live well.  A caution: Stubbornness shuts the door on understanding..  The BIG Question :What type of man best suits me?  The reason a good portion of your thoughts are wrapped up in thinking about certain men and the hopes of marriage is because you were hard-wired with the overwhelming need to be a wife and mother. It is a God-given need that only a man can fulfill. I can't think of one thing I would rather have than a man to really love me. It is supreme. A lovely person is easy to love. That is our goal. God wants us to make you become a lovely help meet. To be a good one takes effort… lots of effort.  In this chapter, Debi Pearl outlined the different types of women we have: Dreamer gal, Servant girl, Go-to Gals. Dreamer girl  A dreamer girl needs to know how to balance work with family or else she will sway from her responsibility to honour her ...
