Yield not to temptation
1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Temptations or challenges will come as the verse above says but they are not meant to necessary bring us down ( no temptation will come your way that is not common to man) If someone was able to overcome it then you can also overcome it.
There is a hymn that says:
Yield not to temptation
For yielding is sin
Each victory will help you
Some other to win
Fight manfully onward
Dark passion subdue
Look ever to Jesus
He will carry you through
Meditate on the words of the song
Face every temptation or challenge with the attitude or mindset that
You can overcome it because God will make a way.
You do not have to cheat as a student to pass your exams. God can give you wisdom to understand your questions and help answer them appropriately with what you have studied ( James 1:5).
As a worker you do not have to engage in shady deals in order to acquire what you need. God will give you the strength and ability to work and earn all you need. Just ask Him ( Matthew 7:7)
As a minister of God you do not need occultic power or power from other deities to perform miracles to draw people to God. God is more than able to prove Himself. ( Ephesians 3:20)
God be with you
Suggestions for success
1. Learn to trust God for everything you need.
2. Reflect on your actions and take note of areas you have to trust God more.
Prayer
Let this song be your confession
Simply trusting everyday
Trusting through the stormy waves
Even when my faith is small
Trusting Jesus that is all
Amen.
