Topic: Fighting temptations (discipleship)
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
At the experience of genuine salvation some significant things happen in the life of the Believers.
They are;
Regrets on the past sins and sinful lifestyle. Remorse on past sinful actions.
Repentance from every sinful way.
Hatred for sin and deep willingness to remain holy in God's presence.
All these occur when we genuinely make a decision for God. But what happens next to the Believers and sin or the desire to sin?
The word(seed) that brought that salvation never remained.
1 John 3:9 KJV
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
If the word remains alive in us, renewed daily, we will retain the first love, and our first experience.
How do I fight temptations?
From our text, you can fight temptations by giving heed to the word of God. You remember the Trio-secret of feeding on the God's word?
Read, study and meditate on the word of God till it becomes all you know and think about.
Psalm 119:11 KJV
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
The word of God that we feed on, and pray out is the key to overcoming temptations.
Jesus never started prayers when the devil came to tempt him, all said was "it is written" that's the word.
There's sufficient power in the word of God, don't under-use it, it's your tool for overcoming temptations.
When tempted, check what the word of God says about the matter, make it your meditation and prayers.
Hebrews 4:12 KJV
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Life application
Resolve to feed desperately on the word of God.
Decide to read, study and meditate on it daily, and make it your prayers, then victory is sure.
