Why A Christian Should Not Settle For Sexual Lust

It appears the most potent weapon of the enemy and that which he's devising to capture the hearts and souls of many in these last days is sexual lust.

It's no surprise to see how he's upping the ante these days especially in the social media through those of his own.

It's now much harder to completely avoid bumping into nude and pornographic images or videos whenever one visited the social media, as it's now everywhere you go.

It's like the tempter appears to be taking the fight and temptations to those who were yet vulnerable to such things wherever they were, so they could no longer run or hide.

One thing I often tell people about the devil is that whenever he comes to tempt a believer, he hardly tempts them in areas of their strength but in those of their weaknesses.

That's why it's important for a Christian not to settle for sexual lust, because even if they are able to flee from the sight of such things for a while so as not to fall into temptation, they cannot run or hide from the devil forever, if that is all it would take him to get them to fall into temptation.

That's the reason why before Jesus sent out His disciples into the world to preach His Gospel, He would prepare them to become as Him, so that whenever, wherever, however, the devil tried to come to tempt them, he would go back empty handed because he would also find nothing of his own in them. Matthew 4:9-10, John 14:30-31.

That also includes the area of sexual lust as Jesus said:

Matthew 5:28 (KJV)

"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."

He wanted to prepare them for the task ahead because He knew that they would face such temptations while carrying out the assignment He gave to them because of what the world entails, so that they would not fall regardless.

Therefore that should be the aspiration of any Christian because Jesus didn't send His disciples to preach the Gospel to the church but to the world, and the world is not inside a church building where someone could control how they dress, or whether they put on clothes or not.

The world dress however they like but they need to hear the Gospel of Christ, hence Jesus' instruction to preach His Gospel to them, so Christians should be able to reach them with the Gospel wherever they were even as Jesus has commanded us to do.

Hence every Christian ought to strive to get to the point in their spiritual life, where they'd be able preach the Gospel anywhere in the world, including on social media that is filled with nude and pornographic images and videos, and still not be susceptible to such temptations.

That's the desire of God for every Christian, because that way He would be able to use them to reach and win much more souls for His kingdom and to His own glory.

God bless.

God is able to help any Christian who is yet struggling in this area to overcome such weaknesses so that they can be able to carry out the assignment He gave to them without having such a threat, and i'm speaking from experience as I've been there when it was hard for me not to fall into temptation whenever I was exposed to such images so that was all it took for the devil to make me fall.

All my defences would just come down crashing and I would have to start afresh, but I didn't settle for that. I cried out to God and asked Him to help me out because I couldn't afford this, especially when I was meant to preach His Gospel to the world as He has mandated me to do. Also being His servant, it would not be exemplary of me.

And God helped me significantly, so now such temptations no longer works with me. I am able to preach even in places where such nude and pornographic images were being displayed and yet it wouldn't be able to make me fall into sin as it used to do.

Although I'm not where I want to be yet, but I've come a long way from where I used to be I thank God for that, but I would not let Him rest until He makes me to become as He made man to be in the beginning and How Master Jesus was, where sexual lust was at zero percent and nonexistent in their lives.

God bless.

Mark 14:38

Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

Yeah, self control is all we need.

Okay... but we need God help to be able to control ourselves.

Go and tell this to pastor suleman

And one pastor in Ghana Dey teach congregation how to perform MouthAction with practical in church

Many people will regret not using their d*ck and toto on the day of their burial. As they will stumble at the rare reality that there's no heaven or hell.

Don't be among them. f*ck as much as you can, but f*ck responsibly.

People like Pst Suleiman will tell you "if you f*ck outside your wife, you're sinning and hell is your destination" He just saying that to scare you away from fine fine Nollywood bitches so that he will be enjoying them all alone.

Keep yourself for your spouses

You can lose alot with just 5 min sex

Sin na sin jare..we need to stop prioritizing some sins above others.

If one can't abstain from all sins, then there is no point trying to abstain from just one

Lying, stealing, cheating, etc are as much a sin as fornication and adultery..A Gossip and bribe-taker is as much a sinner as a serial fornicator, murderer or rapist...Hellfire is the destination of them all

If you have just one sin, whatever it is, you are the same as another person who has millions of sins.Heaven is far from you both

As for me, I have owned up to my weakness, which is incessant fornication...I do not want to stop it or even care to know how to stop it..

Na God hand I dey

Hypocrite Christians!!

Sexual lust is a killer of dreams and destiny.

When I was in the world I hardly remember my dreams but, since I surrendered my life totally to Christ my dream life is now clearer than DSTV

Anytime something bad want to happen to me or in my family I must see it in my dreams .

Friends serving God pays.

All is well within the kingdom

To those of you who see truth and refuse to speak up, same way the blessings of the Lord will see you and not bestow on you. For you saw truth and hid same way the blessings will hide from you.

Those of you who betray the church because of politics so shall you be betrayed when you need the holy spirit the most.

Those of who refuse to stand up for Christ because of politics so shall the holy spirit not stand up for you when you need help.

The Lord thy God is never mocked. You can't deny Christianity when it matters then turn around and seek help , favour or protection, such shall not be granted you. For when it mattered you denounced your God as Peter did .

A Muslim Muslim ticket is anti Christian and a danger to Christianity in Nigeria.

It's time we take a stand now,

God is wise,whatever u see jesus emphasise in the bible ,it means it carries enormous consequences if we fail to adhere to his warnings, sexual sin is the worst kind of sin ,God in his infinite mercies did reveal the spiritual state of sexual immorals especially at the point of having sex something like shit will be coming out from the sex organs polluting the whole body to me years ago in a dream ..After that encounter I knew its the height of foolishness for unmarried people to indulge in sex.or married people to indulge in extra marital affairs. Such people are only bringing shame on themselves spiritually..God is a spirit and he see us with his spiritual eyes and mind ,we don't appear to him as we appear before fellow humans..what he sees is our spiritual state ,so u can be a billionaire before humans but very filthy and foolish before God..when God want us to see things like him he gives us revelation through the power of holyspirit..for me am very sure that whatever God doesn't want humans to do is for thier own best interests because he loves humanity very much and u can except that love by fellowship with jesus christ through obedience to the biblical instructions and teachings.

Wow... thank you Sir.

Infact the proliferation of sexual innuendos and nudity is something a Christian should be prayerful.against. You can open any app or visit any website these days without your eyes seeing the unseeable....

Instagram these days has become Tiktok. I was thinking as I did not download Tiktok, it would be better, not knowing these girls are on Instagram and twitter. I begin to wonder what these ladies want, is it money or just ??

Only God, prayer and the word can help us these days.

Lust is such a powerful weapon. It brought down the strongest man in the Bible, Samson,and brought a generational curse upon the descendants of King David,the death of his child after his adultery with Bathsheba. It also brought a murderous rebellion against him by his own son Absalom and ravishing of his concubines in public by Absalom.

Ok

Ask the op what age range he prefers for potential marriage....you will find out he prefers a child.
