The Lenten period span forty days, from Ash Wednesday until Holy Saturday before Resurrection Sunday. The Lenten season is a time of prayer, fasting, self-examination, and penitence for all Christians as we prepare to celebrate Easter. Through this forty-day journey, we are reminded that we have nothing with which we can obtain salvation and that our best efforts at being righteous fall far short. 
1. Magic: Luke 4: 3, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread." Luke 4: 4: Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone." 
2. Wealth and Power: Luke 4: 5-7. "I will give you all their authority and splendour; it has been given to me, and I can give Luke 4:8: Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." 
3. Equality with God: Luke 4: 9-11. The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the temple's highest point. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down from here. For it is written: "He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone." Luke 4: 12, Jesus answered, "It is said: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test." It is we who must submit to God, adapt to God, and listen for God's bidding. 
 
Conclusion: The Test, The Tester and The Testament.

6th March, 2022: The Test, The Tester and The Testament - Luke 4: 1-13.

Today 2022 challenge is impossible. What is "insuperably difficult" that you can see or feel? Is it; COVID-19, marriage rage, financial rage, tragic events/news rage, sudden illness rage, children rage? When all your ways are fenced in, and you see no hope, don’t forget we are serving God whose power is unlimited. 
During Northern Israel apostasy, there was disregard for the word of God. This time Ben-Hadad, king of Aram, mobilized his soldiers to besiege the entrance of Samaria. No one could enter or go out to buy or sell, leading to scarcity and famine. When a city like Samaria faced famine, it was not a small matter. However, its farmers grew enough food to feed the people for a specific season. They did not have enough to maintain them all year round and in prolonged times of emergency. This famine was so severe that mothers resorted to eating their children (6: 26-30). 
Prophet Elisha prophesied in 7: 1, “Hear the word of the LORD. This is what the LORD says: About this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.” However, the economic adviser to the king, whose knowledge of marketing, economics, supply chain was renowned and respected in their city, said in verse two emphatically that, “Look, even if the LORD should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?” “You will see it with your own eyes,” answered Elisha, “but you will not eat any of it!” This expert was talking from reality on the ground. His knowledge, expertise, experience, faith and hope; name it couldn't believe this. To say that God cannot rescue someone or situation demonstrates a lack of faith. 7: 3-10; The Lord used the lepers to discover the abundance and relayed it to the king. 7: 12 Even the king concluded that the report of the four leprous men was part of an Aramean war strategy rather than evidence of the fulfillment of Elisha's prophecy. When our resources are low, and our doubts are strongest, remember God can open the floodgates of heaven. 7: 16-20, the economic officer who doubted the prophecy was chosen as the managing officer of the booty, but the hungry people trampled him according to prophet Elijah's prophecy. 
Much of our lives are swallowed up in doubt and the discouraging belief, we imagine God as helpless and failed. The solution is obvious. "What is impossible for people is possible with God" (Luke 18: 27). As we continue the year 2022, trust God when you pray, express your fears and doubts, but let your hearts circle back to faith, read your daily guide (Bible); in it, you will find life and guidance. Matt. 12: 37, ”For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words, you will be condemned.” Job 22: 28, “You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.” Tell God he is your rock, your fortress, your deliverer. When you think it is impossible, the God of impossible changes everything.

Kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Some women can make things out of nothing, quilters, etc. they can make garments and sleeping clothes for others out of clothes that others are no longer use. They are a source of assistance and comfort. They are living waters to those around them, as any preacher can be. They have a way of bringing God near to those who most need them. 
Dorcas was not a preacher, but she had a kind heart, and God laid hold of it and made use of it. Some faces shine out of love, which encourages those in genuine need, in depression, in poverty, and in perplexity. Dorcas made an enormous impact in her community by "always doing good and helping the poor" by making robes and other clothing (9: 39). But Tabitha's life was cut short after an illness that appears to have been short and sudden. She dies. 
 
The Lord values a self-sacrificing, ministering and kind woman whose life quietly but indeed brings God and heaven into the lives and hearts of many around her. God uses great preachers like Peter and Paul, but he also uses those who have gifts of kindness like Dorcas. Rather than wishing you had other gifts, make good use of the gifts God has given you.

Lasting Impact 3: Kindness - Acts 9: 36-42

Reading from Acts 13: 1-13, 15: 36-39, John Mark was eager to do the right thing, but he had trouble staying with a task. This tendency showed up when Paul and Barnabas took him as their assistant on their first missionary journey. However, he left them at Pamphylia (Turkey) to return to Jerusalem before the trip was completed (Acts 13:13). 
 
Barnabas wanted to take him along on the second missionary journey to encourage him but Paul flatly refused, accusing John Mark of lacking courage (15: 37-38). In v.39, this led to "a sharp disagreement," and the team broke apart. 
 
Barnabas looked beyond the mistakes of this young man. Instead, he considered the potential benefits of giving John Mark another chance to serve. John Mark benefited, gained valuable experience on the second missionary journey with Barnabas. 
 
We have the gospel of Mark and the writings of Paul because of Barnabas encouraging leadership, neither man was written off. Mark assisted Paul in his missionary journey in Italy at the end of his life. Peter speaks proudly about John Mark as his “son” who is with him (1 Peter 5: 13). Early tradition says it was from Peter that Mark got the information for his account of the life and words of Jesus and one of the early sources Matthew and Luke used when writing their gospels later on. 
 
If we want to encourage, standing beside others, we must first believe in them. We must believe in their value before God, and we must choose to consider their future rather than dwell on sins and mistakes of the past (1 Cor. 13: 7).
