The scriptures made it known to us that the spirit of God led Christ into the wilderness for temptation, but whilst in the wilderness, the enemy Satan was utilized for the temptation, we should give heed to the word anytime we read, this place makes it clear that God even though he doesn’t tempt any man with evil yet he knows and approves every circumstances that comes to us even before they approach us physically, be that temptation or trials.


Having a divine seal doesn’t immune anyone from being tempted because temptation can serve as growth measures and test a of faith.

Jesus was tempted immediately he was declared the beloved son of God and the savior of mankind. Now that we’ve counted as sons of God through Christ, there are rooms for trials of faith and temptation from the rulership of the dark world, Satan doesn’t walk by what he hears, he loves practicality and he is good in trying, he never give up in trying.

# The glory of the world is the instrument of temptation.


Satan tempted Jesus to see if he could divert his attention from eternal mandate  to carnal glory; this is call the pride of life, he promised him all the glory of the earth just like he did with the first Adam, the problem of man today is that man has no understanding of the glory and honor that God bestowed on him which is the Image of God and his likeness, therefore knowing God, yet they do not honor him as God, man has developed his own glory which he adopted from Satan at his fall in the garden, today the glory of man are from the things that his hands has made such as money, science and technology etc. Jesus didn’t succumb to such offer from the enemy because he prefers to stay with the glory of the father than the vanities of time.

The angels watches us at every time of trials and temptation, they’ll surely serve our needs as long as we maintain our trust in God.

>Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
