*MIND OF GOD (MOG)*

*Text:* Matthew 4:7,10

*Topic :* Overcoming Temptation

7. “Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

10. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve” (Matthew 4:7, 10).

Temptation means to persuade or entice a person to do something wrong or unwise.

In most cases, people are tempted through their mind. What constitutes temptation to people, in most cases, has to do with their heart’s desire. People are tempted to pursue their heart desire contrary to what God are expecting them to do.

The faithfulness of God allows every man to be tempted within his ability; therefore, God does not allow us to be tempted beyond our ability to overcome. 1 Corinthians 10:13

He provides a way for us in his Word to win over temptation, therefore, instead of complaining what one needs to do is to find that way of escape in the midst of the temptation through the word of God.

If you don’t find it what do you do?

What you do is to pray for God to show you that way of escape.

He also gives us the grace to bear temptations just as He gave Jesus Christ the grace to endure and overcome his temptations. We should also understand that God tests us but the devil tempts us. The intention of God in testing is to promote us but the intention of the devil in temptation is to discredit and run us down.

Dear beloved, the victory of Jesus over Satan assured us that with the word of God we too can overcome the wiles of devil.

Word for Today: JESUS, the Bread of Life.

Word for Today: JESUS, the Bread of Life.

Ministry Of the Word (MOW) : True Spirituality (TS)

Memory Verse

“I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world” ( John 6:51).

Dearly Beloved

Good morning to you all, especially the family of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the day the Lord has made.

To live in Christ Jesus, we have to daily eat the Word of God, which is Jesus Christ.

Jesus said:

“As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me” ( John 6:57).

“Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you” ( John 6:53).

These were regarded as ‘hard’ messages even when Jesus was on earth. Indeed, many disciples left him on account of this(John 6:66).

Have you eaten the Bread of Life today?

Jesus: “I am that bread of life” (John 6:48).

Prophet Jeremiah declared:

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts” (Jeremiah 15:16).

The joy you need to live a long enduring life is in the word of God.

Stay connected to Jesus Christ-the Word of God. The truth, the way and the life.

Be compassionate and kind to one another.

Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

Prayer Point

Dear Father, please help us to keep our mind and focus on things that honour you in Jesus mighty name. Amen. Father, please continue to frustrate and expose every pretender and wrong doer in our churches and societies in Jesus name. Amen.

Thank you Jesus, the bread of life.

Blood of Jesus!

Yours in the Vineyard of Christ.

Memory Verse

Dearly Beloved

A very good morning to everyone, especially the family of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Do not let your heart be troubled. Have faith in God in Christ Jesus. Focus your mind on things above.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you” (Phil 4:8-9).

Take your focus away from things around you. Keep your thoughts on Christ.

“Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?”

(Lamentation 3:37).

Stay connected to Jesus Christ-the Word of God. The truth, the way and the life.
