Layò Writes You

Studying the temptations of Jesus has been mind-blowing, really. I really learnt a lot and I'm about to share the top ten lessons from the three temptations.  Feel free to contribute and drop what you learned at the end. I pray that you will live victoriously above temptations. Amen. 1. Temptations may necessary not be about sins, they may not be sexual, they may not be about manipulating figures at work or church or stealing. They could be subtle like wanting to respond harshly to a situation, seeing food and deciding not to fast anymore, talking too much or being a gossip etc. The real truth is that temptations will always come and that's why we have the Holy Spirit to help us respond rightly. 2. You can't do life alone. Do it with the Holy Spirit. Life is easier to live with Him than without Him. (John 14:26) 3. Sacrifice and submission is necessary in the believer's journey. Jesus submitted to the Holy Spirit to direct his response. He also sacrificed his power to f...

I pray that the Lord gives you understanding as you read today. Amen. ❤️ The devil took Jesus round the world to feed His eyes. He didn't realize that the whole Earth is His footstool. The drama goes thus: Devil: The world is so beautiful and enviable. I deliberately brought you here to see how Earth has faired under my watch. I've given Kings like Nebuchadnezzar and Pharaoh access to parts of the world and it gave them the recognition and power they desired. I'm ready to withdraw power from all the kings that rule over these kingdoms and give to you alone. I'll make you the only ruler over these kingdoms if you'd just kneel before my feet and worship me.  I can't help but laugh, please. The devil is so unpredictable. How did it feel to say that nonsense? 🤣 I know he must have acted the drama in his head a lot of times before tempting Jesus. He must have rehearsed his response in case Jesus fell for his offer and if it happened in the 21st century, he probably ...

I suggest that you read today's post carefully and prayerfully. God is set to bless your heart. Amen.  I particularly find this second temptation very interesting. The devil came prepared. It's his boldness to quote the Word for me. How dare you recite scripture you disregard? The devil should not be underestimated at all. That's why we need to be more prepared so we are not caught unaware. He had learned from the first temptation and decided to show Jesus that he knew scriptures, too.  The drama: Satan: Let's try out one of the promises in the Bible. Since you're God's son, try to jump down from this highest point at the pinnacle. For the scripture says, "God will command His angels to protect and carry you, so you won't even bruise your foot against hard places.'' At that point, Jesus could have kept mute because the devil supported his prompt with the scripture, but Jesus quoted another scripture and further silenced him. Jesus responded wi...
