During the third chapel service of the term, Pastor Oswald Sichula delivered a powerful message on “Tackling Temptation: Facts About Temptation”, drawing from James 1:12-18 (ESV). He emphasized that temptation is an inevitable reality for all believers, particularly young Christians, as it seeks to pull them into sin. However, scripture serves as a guide, helping believers navigate and overcome temptation. He outlined three key truths: first, temptation is a test, but those who endure receive blessings and grow in spiritual strength (v.12). Second, temptation arises from within, stemming from fleshly desires and deceptive appearances (v.13-14), making it crucial to guard one's heart and be mindful of its influence. Lastly, though yielding to temptation leads to sin, God remains faithful, offering good and perfect gifts, demonstrating that He is greater than any temptation. In his conclusion, Pastor Sichula encouraged believers to stay rooted in God's word, avoid temptation triggers, pray for strength, seek accountability, and trust in God's goodness. Temptation, though dangerous, is not undefeatable, and through vigilance and a pursuit of righteousness, believers can overcome its pull and remain steadfast in their faith.
