YOU ARE ANIONTED FOR HIS SERVICE SO DON'T YIELD TO TEMPTATION

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, peace be with you all, parishioners from Ghana extend their greetings to all. Today is another blessful day so if you are awake lift your voice and thank the Lord for his love and mercies on us has been great.

Mankind was created with a purpose, and the purpose is to serve but due to temptation from the devil, man forgot his purpose. Thanks to the almighty God for restoring the hope of man once again. Brethren This time round let us put the devil to shame.

Today's studies will be taken from the books of :
Luke 4:1-30
Ephesians 5:18
Matthew 6:33
John 18:36-37
Isaiah 61:1-3
Let us hear the word of God

Like 4:1-13
Jesus, filled and lead by the Holy Spirit, was in the desert for forty days fasting. He was tempted by the devil. Are you Spirit filled ...?

Ephesians 5:18
"And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;"

Jesus fasted, we should emulate Him. The devil came and told Jesus turn a stone to bread. Looking at the powers install in Him, He has all what it takes to turn the bread but do you know what was Jesus answer...? Seek God first and not earthly pleasures (Matthew 6:33)

Secondly, The devil led Jesus to a high place, and this time what was the reason...? Jesus Kingdom is not of this world

John 18:36-37
"Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice."

Only God must be worshipped. Thirdly, the devil wanted Jesus to jump from a high place and do you know why....? The devil quoted Scripture. Beware of those who quote Scripture out of context to fulfill worldly desires.

Luke 4:14-30 when you read you will see that, after Jesus had defeated the devil, He went to Galilee in the power of the Holy Spirit. He went to Synagogue in Nazareth. What happened there...? Jesus was anointed for service

Isaiah 61:1-3
"The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the year of Jehovah’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified."

All Spirit - filled Christians are to share Jesus ministry in God's power. Jesus told the people that He fulfilled the Scripture that day. What else did Jesus say...? "familiarity breeds contempt". Jesus reminded the people of God's love for the Gentiles. He referred to Elijah and the widow of Zarephath and Elisha and Naaman. What was the reaction of the people's to this...? Jesus walked away unhurt. God's work cannot be aborted...

Thanks for sharing with me have a blessed day and this @bigssam from #teamghana
