```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE (DDMM)```
♦ *TOPIC: READINESS AND CONQUEST (LIVING READY)*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Matthew  4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written *AGAIN*, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

In Matt chapter 4:1-7 we can see the tempter coming to tempt Jesus and there are few things we have to note from that. They are:
1.  no one is too big for the devil to tempt.

2. no one is too spiritual to be tempted of the devil. Jesus was full of the Spirit and was even having a lengthy fast when the tempter came to trial Him.

3. the enemy doesn't give a notice before tempting anyone.

4. If you're not prepared, you're bound to fail or fall cheaply

5. If you don’t know what is written, you don’t have power to control or stop what is happening. He was able to stop the devil because He knew what was written.

If the enemy could tempt Jesus who is the word with the word, the one who made everything and the one in whom all things are held together. If He could be tempted, then no one is above temptation but we saw that Jesus would never have been able to defeat the devil if not because He lived ready.

Many today want to defeat the enemy while they are not even ready at all. Jesus said, "it is written again..." this shows that He  did not only know what was written, he  was also fully prepared because he was tempted with other things but he conquered due to his readiness..

*Insights For Today: Conquest is by readiness. If you are not aware of what is written, destruction will come and overtake you and if you don't know what is written, you can't control or put an end to what is happening. You can't be swallowed up in the ocean of life if you live ready.*

*_Prayer Point: Father, I ask that you would help me to stand strong and live ready daily in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*
