Enticements

May 13th – Capsule 13

TOPIC: ENTICEMENTS

BIBLE TEXT: But man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed - James 1:14

As a believer, have you thought on the ways and mode of operation of the devil and his demonic spirits? Apostle Paul speaks in the Spirit “for we are not ignorant of his devices” – 2 Corinthians 2 vs. 11. Enticement is a major device of the devil against the body of Christ, this manipulative tool was used right from the creation of the first man and woman (Adam and Eve) on earth. Eve was enticed by the devil and he got access into the mental realm. 

Samson the great judge of Israel with glorious strength and might was enticed and his journey was cut short. King Solomon was enticed also through his love for women and his heart was turned against God and he started worshipping idols, Herod was enticed by Herodias, the wife of his late brother and he was manipulated and touched God’s anointed, John the Baptist. 
Many men and women today fall under this tool of darkness. Proverbs 7 describes how warm and sweet enticement introduces herself, so she can kill and strike the heart (The Spirit man).

Jesus Christ was enticed by the devil in Luke 4 vs. 1 – 13, but He overcame through the Word of God, Joseph the son of Jacob was enticed by Mrs. Potiphar, but he overcame through the Word of God in his heart. You can overcome the devil when he entices you with your lustful desires by this method King David revealed:
“Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee? – Psalm 119 vs. 11”


Prayer: Lord Jesus, I need the grace to study your Word and live by it, to overcome the devices of the devil in Jesus name, Amen.

Insight: Yes! Even as a spirit-filled believer you can be enticed but the victory is in the word of God as you act on what it says.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

THE GRACE OF GOD

Date 📅 26th October, 2022 Topic The Grace of God Living Scripture 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. The grace of God is very important to everyone both saved and unsaved though as many as believe in Christ Jesus receives of the grace and truth at work in the Lord. This is what sustains us as children of God throughout our lifetime here on earth. God's grace for the world is general but limited and that for His children comes only in Christ Jesus, for as many that want to partake of this kind of grace must be born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This brought about the testimony of brother Saul turned Apostle Paul who testified to be the least of all the Apostles and disciples of Christ. He was a persecutor of the gospel a child of Abraham under the common grace but not under the g...
