« I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh »
16 What I say is this: let the Spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of the human nature.
17 For what our human nature wants is opposed to what the Spirit wants, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to what our human nature wants. These two are enemies, and this means that you cannot do what you want to do.
Sexual lust has destroyed and is still destroying the destinies of many.
I know there are people who will tell you that even if you fool around sexually, you will still make it to heaven.
Don’t let them send you to hell with their false doctrine. 1 Corinthians 3:17NLT says
« God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple »
You think adultery or fornication is something to be toyed with?
In Numbers 31:1-16, the people of Israel were indestructible because God was solidly behind them, but then the enemy decided to send beautiful ladies into their camp and the people of Israel began to fornicate.
After that, the enemy did not need to do anything; it was God Himself who started destroying them.
If you are lusting after someone you’re not married to, you had better save your destiny by staying away from such a person because that is the strategy of the devil to destroy you.
- There are many people suffering all manners of plagues because of fornication and adultery.
Don’t be one of them.
If you are old enough for marriage, pray for God’s direction and go through the Church when you want to start your courtship with whomever God has led you to.
You may say that is ‘old-school’ mentality, but that is what has kept some of us standing and on the right path of destiny for many decades.
It is better to be old-school than to be destroyed.
Let the Church be involved in your courtship and make sure that you and your spouse-to-be never meet in private places where you can commit sin.
There are many people who set themselves up to fall into fornication by being too close to the opposite sex or staying alone in private places with them.
Once you notice that you are beginning to lust after someone, declare a fast immediately to kill that lust in your flesh.
- Lust thrives in secrecy, don’t cover it up.
Beloved, don’t engage in fornication or adultery; don’t defile the temple of God.
If you do, you are calling for judgment on yourself.
Prayer focus – Father, please put an end to every form of lust in my life, in Jesus’ name.
