TOPIC: WAITING TIME NOT A WASTED TIME 4: Temptation Season
MEMORY VERSE:
James 1:2-4.
“2. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
BIBLE READING:
Genesis 39:7-9.
“7. And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8. But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
9. There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
We’ve been studying reasons for waiting. We’ve been made to know that waiting period isn’t a wasted time, neither was it useless but a season of Strength Renewal, Learning period and Preparation Season. Today we’re studying another reason for waiting which is Temptations’ season or Test season. Yes, this season is when you are being temptated in different ways to know if you can stand and overcome any forms of lust. Season where your faithfulness, trust, loyalty and faith will be tempted. When your temper will be tried, when you’ll be tempted with those things you desire but not capable of earning, will you overcome? Will you pass the test?
Joseph was tempted by his Boss’s wife to lay with him but passed the test by rejecting temptation. Although, It landed him in the prison but he never failed the test. God uses those rigorousity to know who we’ll become when we’re rightly position. It’s a pity that many failed the test and couldn’t move on to their destined place in life. I pray with you this morning, may will not fail the test in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. Beware, you’re in the season of temptation don’t be caught on aware.
Good Morning And God Bless You.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
