The Book of James 1:12 tells us that “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the LORD has promised to those who love Him.”
The devil tempted Jesus in the wilderness for 40 days and after the temptation, his Ministry was birth.
One must be tempted for one to grow in The LORD, GOD cannot give one a Ministry without one going through things, difficult things, mostly with the devil. It is called GOD’s school, but know that Jesus has already won the battle, so please hold on and resist every temptation until it is over, we are also asked to pray and endure every temptation because it will not last forever, a character will be built in us. All to the Glory of GOD Almighty.
The Bible did not promise that we will not suffer, we will, but it is not permanent. 1st Peter 5:10 confirms that “After you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you.” He is a promise keeper, The GOD Who settles, establishes, perfects and strengthens. For it is written “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” OOHH Hallelujah!! Philippians 1:6).
A Few years back, I came across a sister who was tempted in the Church, but how, you might ask. She saw a witch in the Church who was one of the members of the congregation and great fear took over her that she thought of leaving the Church, but that would have been the end of her Ministry. She took courage and stayed until she overcame the fear and temptation. She now has her own Ministry and did come across witches and demons that cried out because of her presence (The Glory of GOD). The Lord used demons and witches to strengthen this sister in the church before sending her out into the world. He surely has a way of training His own. Praise The LORD. Hallelujah!!
Please pray for world peace and the Church universal.
