Temptation is God testing you to see if really you are determined to stop what you said you want to or have stop. One thing with temptation is that it comes with memories of the past joy you derive when doing that thing you've stopped doing.
I feel temptation I is God sent, this is because in Mathew 4:1, emphasis were made on 'LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT TO BE TEMPTED OF THE DEVIL' this scene took place after Jesus fasted for forty days and forty nights. This fasting was for him to start his mission on earth.
God will not tempt you with what you don't like rather he would test you with what you like or what you have repented of, if you succeed the angels of God will come and minister to you matt 4:11 "AND THE ANGLES OF THE LORD CAME AND MINISTERED TO HIM" If Christ our saviour had fallen for these temptations, what would have been the fate of we the believers of today. After overcoming this temptations, Jesus started his mission on earth and ended successfuly. I want to give us this word of encouragement which can be found in 1 cor 10:13 God will not tempt us more than our ability which mean the temptations we face is according to our abilities.

It also went further to tell us that God will make a way for us to escape from the temptations. The period of temptation is the period of battle between the holy spirit AND the tempter, let's make the holy spirit win this battle as we over come temptations. To overcome temptations, we need the holy spirit to help us and also the word of God. The Bible said we overcome the world by the word of God and the testimony of our mouth. With this I hope I have encouraged us that no temptation is above our ability.
