THE LETHAL POWER OF LUST

MEMORY VERSE: “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”

TEXT: 1 JOHN 2:15-17

Lust is a mental act that affects the emotions and can eventually lead to immoral physical acts. Merlin Carothers therefore cautions that, “The hearts of Christians are being corrupted by the world in which we live. Men and women are being sucked into the filth of lustful, adulterous, covetous thinking, and the only warning Christians are receiving, is not to do any of the physical acts! Of course we are not supposed to do the acts, but we shouldn’t be indulging in the thoughts either.” Tell me, what led Amnon into incest? Of course, lust. What prompted King David into adultery with Bathsheba? Again, lust. Each of these incidents led to violent death.

My friend, you cannot put fire in your bosom and your clothes not be burned (Proverbs 6:27). If you are controlled by the spirit of lust, be you a student, or worker, your adversary, the devil, will not give up until he slays you.What are you lusting after? Boys or girls? Money or material possessions? Your only escape route is repentance and faith in Christ. Surrender to Him and overcome.

QUOTE: Your only escape route is repentance and faith Christ.

PRAYER: Father, save me from lust, in Jesus’ name.

CHALLENGE: Lust is a tormentor: avoid it
