While returning home yesterday, I looked at one of the Big Buses on the road and saw its emergency door. It dawned on me that there is also an emergency exit in the realm of the Spirit to escape temptations when they come. The scripture says: "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
God is sure to make a way for you out of temptations, trials and struggles. You don't have to bribe your lecturer or agree to his/her immoral advances, you don't have to cheat your way through an exam, you don't have to give up on that vision, you don't have to succumb to the pressure that the world gives you. God is bound to make a way, if you endure enough you would find out the way as always been waiting for you to find it.
When you see the story of the three Hebrews, they refused to bow to the image Nebuchadnezzar had set, they chose death rather than the easy way of following the crowd. In the end, a mind blowing miracle was seen that brought the king to Reverence God. Joseph chose to stand the test and the way of escape was opened for him even though he had to loose his garment and go to prison.
Let it be know today that the door that God opens for you out of your running away from temptations, or standing through trials, will surely lead to higher levels in life. So stay true to your vision, irrespective of the present difficulties, stand firm, immovable you'd surely find that emergency door of opportunity.
Central Truth: Ways are bound to open up even in the midst of great temptations and adversity. Remember the Red Sea?
FOCUS SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 10:13
PRAYER:
LORD, I receive strength to stand the test of trials and temptations. Open my eyes to see the doors you've for me for escape in Jesus Name.

Keep praying for greater open doors of opportunities for us. The Launching is fast approaching.
