FIRE SCRIPTURE:
Job 31:1-4
31 I have made a covenant with my eyes.
How then could I look at a young woman?

and misfortune to evildoers?
4 Does he not see my ways
and number all my steps?
PRAISE AND WORSHIP
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
MESSAGE:
Another wonderful and positive lesson to learn from Job is that he had self-control over his eyes and passion. He learned on time how to keep his sexual urge in utmost control. He even went as far as making a covenant with his eyes not to ever think let alone look upon a maid.
He was a man of like passions as we are. He also faced the same temptations like we are facing. However, he chose not to do the blame game like some present-day believers would blame social media, peer pressure etc. for their reason for fall into illicit sex. Job took responsibility for his walk with God, He made a covenant with his eyes not to allow a strange woman fill his thoughts. He knew that coupled with the help from above, he also had to watch what he pondered upon, what he watched, read and the places he went. He made a covenant!
The Bible says in Hebrews 12:4 ‘’Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.” Some of us have not really been intentional like Job in our fight against sin and immorality. That is why we still excuse our sins and blame situations. If we are really intentional like Joseph, we will daily live a victorious life. A holy life is possible if we are deliberate like these saints of God.
Beloved, have you made a covenant with that part of your body that is always causing you to sin against God? If your answer is no, then you need to be truthful and call that body part to order in the place of prayer and discipline. There will always be temptations. Strange ladies will come to lure you. Strange men will come. The tempter may go for a season but be sure he is coming back through other strategies. It may be through social media, obscene adverts, erotic books, etc.
Tempters will come but you have the choice to either welcome them and fall into sin or resist them and live victorious. The tempter came to Joseph but he fled for his dear life. Some would have seen it as an opportunity for free sex, after all, no one was watching. He could have fallen for it and lost his destiny for life.
There is no free sex anywhere. Every attempt to lure a man or woman into any extra-marital sex is an attempt to bring such destiny into the mud and turn him/her to a piece of bread. This was Amnon after having his lustful way with Tamar. He reduced her life to nothing and he too died a painful death.
I pray that the tempter will not get us, in Jesus’ Name.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1. Powers, waiting to turn my glory to shame, you are liars, die violently, in the Name of Jesus.
2. Strange women (men), waiting to reduce me to nothing, die, in the Name of Jesus.
3. Delilah, hired to bring me down, be wasted, in the Name of Jesus.
EVENING
4. You my body, I bring you under the control of the Holy Spirit, in the Name of Jesus.
5. I reject any satanic substitute for my destiny, in the Name of Jesus.
6. My destiny shall not be slaughtered on the lap of strange women, in the Name of Jesus.
7. My marriage will not be defiled, in the Name of Jesus.
