Hello friends, it is always a pleasure to write to you again,
no doubt we are in for better things this week regardless of what we might have
achieved the previous week. For your path is like the sunrise, getting
brighter and brighter until daylight has come.
Today is the last of our TRAINING FOR REIGNING SERIES, and we
will be talking about TRAIN TO HANDLE TEMPTATIONS. You think it’s impossible to
train to handle temptation?
Temptation is simply a desire, to do something, especially
something wrong or unwise. Wrong or unwise connotes error and reigning requires
you to minimize to the barest minimum or totally eliminate your errors in a
particular goal, dream or vision driven pathway, thus the importance to train
to handle temptation.
“It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come”, and
overcoming stumbling blocks holds the key to our reigning. We must also know each one of us is
tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed by it.
Desires are either self-originating or acquired from external
sources, this is clearly a checkpoint, at this point of originating or
acquiring desires we can actually curb what kind of desire we give home to in
our minds. Is the desire true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report; is
there any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things, otherwise
don’t give them a footing in your mind.
This is simply saying watch what you retain as your desires,
for you rest your thoughts on them and if they are wrong or unwise leads to
temptations. Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.
(Proverbs 4:23, GNT). Jesus also showed us one way to overcome
temptations, he said; Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation
will overpower you. (Matthew 26:41TLB).
From all this it is clear we can train to handle temptations,
by training ourselves to curb them at the point of originating in us or
acquiring them and finally we can pray, this gives us the strength to overpower
temptations. For except we overcome, we won’t reign, but I trust we will. kindly visit www.diariesofhope.blogspot.com if you missed any of the training for reigning series.
