Topic: Lust Kills
READ: 1 John 2:16-17
- For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
-
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Memorise
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. – 2 Timothy 2:22
Open Heaven for Teens 19th February 2022 MESSAGE
Lust is a strong craving or desire, often of L a sexual nature. It is a violation of Gods perfect will because it redirects people from God and His plans for mankind, to their own selfish desires. Having an attraction towards someone at first sight is not a sin but when you keep thinking about the persons appearance or the shape of his/her body, then that is lust and it can lead to fornication.
For example, David saw Bathsheba bathing from the rooftop. He looked on while she was having her bath, nurtured his lust and eventually committed adultery with her. If you give lust a little space in your heart, it will take over the whole of your life and in no time, you would commit a sexual sin.
Beloved, for you to conquer lust, you must guard your heart diligently so that the actions that your thoughts produce will lead to commendation before God and not condemnation.
The only way to achieve this is by meditating on Gods word constantly; it will help you to see everyone, (especially the opposite sex) and everything, as God does.
ACTION POINT
You cant stop the opposite sex from walking around but you can guard your heart from lusting after them.
