The primary focus of Satan is to target the Christians and to sow the temptation constantly and the special focus is targeted towards the Teens. We are constantly kept occupied on Social forums like, whatsapp, facebook, Twitter, hangouts, unhealthy sites & youtube etc…. Although it cannot claimed to be wrong in using technologies, but one should know it would turn out worse if not handled properly. Starting from Adolescent to centenarians, temptation continuous in human life period. Some young teen asked to an African missionary (unable to recall his name) when would I be able to get rid of ceasing from temptation and he was answered like this, dear son as long as you live in this flesh it will chase you. The Flesh is always against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh, both are contrary to each other. Bible says, overcome the evil by good. SIN is creeping at your door steps, and its desire is for you but you must master it. Gen 4-6; also the lord Jesus said in New Testament, you will have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world. John 16-33”.
You cannot stop temptation as it is there from inception of Adam to Jesus Christ temptation in the wilderness after fasting for 40days & 40 nights, it is like you cannot tell this world or say the crows/birds to stop flying over the head but you can certainly prevent them from making a nest on your head.
Satan is very clever and he wants the root to be spoiled which is the youth of this generation knowing youth has the power to change the world, but we failed to understand our roles in this society. Do you know every individual action shapes our culture in society, we always tend to look for a role model who could be our guidance all the time, so that we could run without getting stagnant? Take this illustration, if you drop a piece of paper on the road side or any rubbish items then the people who may go by that way would be influenced to litter and it followed person after person. Eventually it would end up as a big chunk of garbage. If we could be more honest and disciplined in smaller things it would shape us and create a big impact to the society. It is applicable to both secular and spiritual world though we cannot distinguish secular and spiritual world, as the former comes from the latter because of disobedience. So always looks at the author and finisher of the faith which is the Christ Jesus and set him as a Role model.
If I take an individual responsibility in this world I could change the world upside down overcoming all the battle. So I urge the young minds to get enrolled in youth movement of your church, get occupied/involved in church activities and be a changer to avoid carried away with unhealthy activities of this society or by any other means and do meditate upon the word of God every day.
Temptation will knock your door constantly, but every resistance over temptation is the victory for you. You cannot become holy by confessing your sin once and it takes a long route after that by resisting over the temptation until death where temptation come in several ways.
Temptation is not a SIN but yielding to temptation is SIN. Hence “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling; Phil2:12”.
