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.
