#EaglesDevotional - KEYS TO VICTORY OVER TEMPTATION - 3



“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 to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” 1 Corinthians 10:13  .

The third key to overcoming temptation is knowing that God will never allow you to be tempted above what you are able to handle.
This means whatever temptation you are facing right now, God is aware of it and knows and He has given you the ability to overcome it. In Numbers 13:30, when the nation of Israel was to enter the promised land, they faced the temptation of giants. In verse 30, Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it”.
  Caleb knew for a fact that God would not allow them face the temptation He had not given them the ability to overcome.
God will never allow you to be tempted above what you are able. The power to overcome that temptation is within you.

If things were going well with you but suddenly, you started experiencing losses, lack in business, marital challenges, memory loss in school, children moving with people of negative influence, etc, you are facing temptation but know that you have the power to overcome it. Learn the lessons through it and rise above it. There is power within you.

Rise up today and activate that power in the place of prayer. In Acts 1:12, the Bible says, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name”.
As a child of God, there is power in you to overcome sickness, failure, disease, etc.

Always remember that the devil is permanently under your feet. Walk with an overcomer’s spirit today.

Prayer/Confession: In the name of Jesus every temptation that has oppressed me, I have the power to overcome you. Bow in the name of Jesus.

Words of wisdom: Ignorance can keep you in bondage
