FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 4:1-13 (KJV)
1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

MFM Devotional For Today 2024 MESSAGE:
Temptation is an instrument of cruelty that has crushed many glorious destinies. The devil has never been a joker and will never be. He is highly strategic in his fight against Christians. Unfortunately, many Christians are toying with temptations. A lot of believers have become shadows of their old selves because of the fatal blow that temptation dealt them. Many have caved in; they are just like empty shells because they couldn’t overcome the temptation that hit them. Some believers have faded away, some have lost their glorious destinies because of temptation. Some ministries which used to be very powerful and highly impactful have been paralysed by the sting of temptation.

Beloved, being tempted is not a sin in itself but yielding is sinful. Are you facing any form of temptation? Are you losing the battle against temptation? You don’t have to lose hope, you can overcome. You need to understand that every temptation you overcome will open a greater door of honour for you to walk through. However, you must know that temptation can come from your weakest area. It can come when you are most vulnerable. It can even come at your time of comfort. Temptation can come in time of need. It can also come from legitimate desires. It can come when you allow your heart to be overwhelmed by covetousness. Temptation can come when you fail to guard your heart with all diligence and you start entertaining impure thoughts; and by also allowing evil imagination to capture your heart. Temptation can come from unwholesome relationships; also from friends and relatives. Anything not properly handled can become a source of temptation.
The good news is that you can overcome temptation. How? By filling your heart with the Word of God. By watching and praying more than ever before. Then, you have to run away from anything, anyone, or any association that may stir up negative feelings within you. Discipline your eyes, your ears and your thought pattern. Lastly, give yourself completely to the Holy Spirit.
