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...

Sinner to Saint

Date 📅 20th October, 2022 Topic Sinner to Saint Living Scripture Romans 3:23 KJV For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; The journey of our convertion and transfiguration started when we decided to let go of our self and old ways and tune into the will of God by accepting Christ as Lord and Savior. Our Lord Jesus Christ is in the business of turning sinners to saints. Because of the fall of man from the beginning it was written that all mankind have sinned and come short of the supply of God's mighty glory. Which is why Christ Jesus died that we might be heirs and like heirs with Him in the kingdom of God. Without Jesus no one can be saved, all men without the knowledge and salvation of Christ are sinners. No man was born a saint, we are washed from stains, sins and disobedience into saints (children of God). The Bible is not full of men born as saints but rather men and women washed by the Blood of the Lamb of God and by the Word of God. Father Abrah...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
