TOPIC: WHAT TO DO AWAY WITH IN OUR LIVES 3: Lust Of The Flesh.
MEMORY VERSE:
1 Tim. 6:11
“11 But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.”
BIBLE READING:
1 John 2:16-17
“16 For all that is in the world — THE LUST OF THE FLESH, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not of the Father but is of the world.
17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
If there’s another thing God will want us to do away with, it’s the “Lust Of The Flesh”. This has cost many Christians not to be different from the world. Lust of the flesh is the reason for body/ plastic surgeries, costly wears (at the expense of other’s need), body revealing cloths and hair styles without decency. Christians has been carried away in order to look like the ungodly celebrities, going extra mile to spend extravagantly beyond one’s limit. Lust of the flesh has taken us out of the will of God which is moderate dressing. Churches has become a place of fashion where lladies and men compete to be the best, hardly do they listen to the messages being preached in the service but searching for who looks beautiful than them. Many lust over opposite sex’s body, what doesn’t belong to them and leads them out of the will of God.
Lust of the flesh is the reason for comparison between parent, comparing their children with others, forgetting that every child has different destiny. You want your child to tread the same path others tread because you love what they become. You want your spouse to be what they are not meant to be. Walking and living in Lust of the flesh leads one to destruction even right on earth here, and then in eternity. God is speaking to someone reading this today, it’s time to desist from walking and living in such life, for God is more interested in you than you can think of. Which area are you lusting over the flesh? It’s time to make an amendment.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
