FAITH CAPSULE: Jesus prevailed by reminding the evil about the word of God. 

2 Samuel 11, Luke 4:1-15

Letting down guard is allowing the enemy to bring war to the front.
How one engages temptations in one direction will determine not to become a victim of temptation.
The devil is the author of the temptation to bring all down and not stand for God.
All should know that the devil is a stubborn animal with no respect for any of his targets. 
Temptation orchestrated by the devil for Jesus is evidence that no one is above experiencing the temptation.
The devil approached the Lord Jesus Christ with temptation. 
Luke 4:1-2, Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.” 
If Jesus could experience such, no one is immune to the war of temptation. 
How are you upholding your guard against the advance of temptation from the enemy?
Temptation is not the sin, but it is the driver of sin and sinning against the word of God.
It is how you uphold your guard that will determine how you hold against the move of the enemy. 
Jesus did not let down His guard when the enemy located Him with temptation. 
One that puts up guard has the word of God in the heart with a guard to overcome temptation.
Jesus prevailed by reminding the evil about the word of God. 
Jesus was at the right place, at the right time, for the evil one failed. 
All for God are with the mark pointing that the enemy cannot tolerate.
Avoidance of careless standing will call for an evil plan.
Despite all the victories of King David, he was not able to fight a war of success when adultery brought war to David via the lane of temptation. 
One of the major causes of the loss of King David records, “It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.” (2 Samuel 11:1) 
King David was at the right place at the wrong time. 
As a prime target of the enemy, there is no room for consuming life mistakes. 
A believer should know no that being found out at the wrong place is not acceptable.
Consistently, a believer should avoid taking a position in the wrong place at the right time.
Life-terminating testimony will come, but the word of God can deliver. 
Take to the advice of the apostle Paul, who states, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:10-11) 

Prayer for today: Ask for deliverance against every plan of the evil one against your life
