 What is Temptation?

=Temptation is a desire to do something especially something wrong or unwise, it is also the desire to take something that is not ours and without the permission of the owner.

Everyone of us is or have been tempted from time to time, some of us are tempted daily.

Being Tempted is not bad nor it is a sin, as long as that Temptation does not become an obsession in our minds.

There is a say: "You can not stop birds from flying above your head but you can prevent them from nesting on your head"

Same thing goes about Temptations, we can not stop temptations to come to us but we can prevent them from nesting or dwelling in our hearts.

Look at what the Bible says, in James 1:14 "But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed"

Now look at what verse 15 says, "Then when the desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin when is full-grown, brings death" Wow! this is a serious matter.

Yes, when we allow the desire or temptation to dwell or conceived in our hearts then it will give birth to sin, and of course, the bible says in Romans 6:23 that the wages of sin is death.

This business of temptations is something we must take seriously because it can kill us. Kill us physically and spiritually, it can kill us now eternally also.

Here is a great advise from the word of God. Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray, lets you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak"

Yes, that is what we all must be doing everyday and every moment, Watching and praying, otherwise we will be taken in our weakest point or time.

Blessings everyone.
