The seduction challenges you to stop trusting in yourself to be self sufficient, and to really depend on God your Heavenly Father for all your needs. He will provide for you.
This seduction is not really a seduction of a man with a woman. No, this seduction is so subtle it's really the masturbation (stimulating) spirit in disguise that deceives you into thinking you can take care of yourself. It tricks you into becoming self sufficient. You strive so hard to accomplish material wealth and slove your own problems. No prayer life, no time for the word, no time to help anyone, you've become totally self sufficient. Before you know it, God is no where in the picture, and all you have is a form of Godliness and no power.
The busy housewife with such zeal and concern for her household, that boy and girl with so much enthusiasm about completing primary school, the young man and young lady, studing for that degree.

For we ought to live, move and breathe in Him, He is our Creator.

You have this assurance that no human can bind you if God wants you free. You must recognize that these trials and temptations are only temporary. Be thankful that your destiny is in God's Hands, not in man. Purpose in your heart today, to always be faithful to God He is your Provider, your Sustainer, He is your Vindication.
