Destiny Empowerment Daily Devotional (21st December 2023)

TOPIC: Give No Place For Lust

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. I John‬ ‭2:16‬NKJV‬‬

*Message*

Many times, lust is usually the culprit as far as sin of any sort is concerned. It is a fuel that has the capacity to push people into indulging in what is not right, and it is one of the devil's favorite weapons. When the devil, who is the father of lust, strikes a person with lust, such can easily find themselves committing sin and attracting afflicting afflictions into their lives.

Remember that the devil is the father of lust because many years ago, he lusted after what God wasn't giving him (Isaiah 14). This led him into rebellion, and he became an eternally doomed creature (alongside his demons, whom he also tricked into sin on the platform of lust for glory and relevance).

*So, you will easily see that lust precedes sin; sin brings about separation from God. Separation from God your Creator will give the devil your enemy access to ruthlessly plunder your life and destiny here on earth, and get you doomed in hell fire (which is for eternity).*

Don't allow lust at any time. Jesus Christ said: "Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matthew 5:28). Don't lust for what God is not giving you. Don't lust for anything outside the Will of God. Lust can get your soul darkened and lead you into what is wrong, corrupting your body and soul and harming your spirit.

*Prayer*
Pray for those out there still under the shackles of lust.

Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Romans‬ ‭13:13‭-‬14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Galatians‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
