Topic: Seven Spots Satan Easily Entrap Christian Youths.

The words kept echoing and re-echoing in my ears as I decided to put up this thread: "How art the mighty fallen."

Wow! I've met a few who told me, "I still have time to return back to God. For now, lemmie enjoy my life." While listening to them in awe, the other guy says, "You are taking this Christian thing too far. It's not that serious." Hah! Mo gbe!

I shrug my shoulder in confidence knowing whom I've totally believed in. Today, most of them are lost in addiction and sin and are drowning. They try to still attend church and hide in a Service Unit but can a broken cistern hold water?

Thus saith the Lord, "Return oh youth from where thou has fallen. Sin and Holiness are two parallel lines that can never meet. Compromising to sin and asking for mercy would only succeed in stagnating your spiritual growing and make you inefficient for God to use.

Lemmie go headlong: "7 Spots Satan Easily Entrap Believing Brothers/ Sisters.

1. Lust of the Eyes.

Call it "Sin of the flesh" or whatever, it's a sin and drives the Holy Spirit very far from you. Is it possible to stop this? Yes. Be separated unto God. Until then, God can't really have His way in delivering you from this destructive habit. I'm not against you shining your eyes for a "good body" but be careful. There is more that meet the eyes.


2. Dirty Talking


If you are or aim to go higher in your walk with God, you'll cut yourself from those who make you engage in this. You can't claim to be a friend of the Holy God and still be a friend to the world. That's not possible. I hear you, "My friends talk dirty but I don't join them." Keep deceiving yourself!


3. Pornography/Masturbation

Not every one understands that "self servicing" means just same. It's a fact that this is a household habit among youths, even believers. You come in here and read, "Vaseline crew"/ "cucumbate" and you think it's normal! This is one of the strongest cord the devil has reserved for young folks. But you can be free. Every sickness has a remedy. Be born again, be on fire for God, separate yourself from those friends/materials, do the work of and evangelist. Desire more of God and you'll eventually lose taste for it.

4. Worldly Comparison

I doubt we still know we are pilgrims on earth. You are in the world but NOT OF the world. Look good but don't adopt the world's system of "looking good", if you know what I mean.

5. Bad Friends
Most young folks are into substance abuse and all because of friends. Bad friends are like Satan's incarnates orchestrated to send you to hell fire on a Range Rover. Keep away!


6. Premarital Sex/ Co-habitation

I could see someone scrolling and wishing this wasn't included but how? Get into our campuses and see what's happening! Sex is like giving out sweets. Sin is now sold for cheap but that doesn't change God's standard of holiness and eternity. ''The foundation of the Lord stands sure."

7. Time Spent On Our Phones and TV watching.


As okay as it may be, these things drain us spiritually. I believe they are little foxes that eats up the vine. Some things are not evil in themselves but they can bring evil. If you truly have the Holy Spirit, you'll know when you're wearing out as a result of these things. I believe they are what the Bible called "Weights". They hinder us from giving our best to God. They pull us back spiritually.

I don't know whom this message is for but I didn't do it out of presumption but as led. I pray that you become a useful tool in God's hands and not be flabby, baby Christian who is always sinning and asking for mercy. May you scale new heights spiritually. May you know the power of His resurrection. May you exercise authority over demon spirits and powers in the heavenlies because you know your authority as a believer. That's my prayer for everyone reading this. May you not be comfortable with just being a church worker in in your local assembly.

Peace!

Thanks for the information. I copied the seven spots.

Disciples of Jesus Are Known by Their Fruit.
A little boy went over to a pastor's house, where the pastor was doing some carpentry in his garage. The boy simply stood there and watched him for quite a long time. The preacher wondered why this boy was watching him and was finally so curious that he stopped and said, "Son, are you trying to pick up some pointers on how to build something?"
The little boy replied, "No. I am just waiting to hear what a preacher says when he hits his thumb with a hammer."
Often, we will find out what we are made of by what comes out of our mouths in both good and bad circumstances. When we have a change in conduct and character in our lives, it is a type of spiritual fruit. Galatians 5:22 says, "But the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control . . . " (NKJV). A Christian's life should be characterized by these things. Are you producing fruit? Or is the opposite true? Instead of love, is there hatred, bitterness, or even prejudice in your life? Instead of joy, is there constant gloom? Instead of peace, is there turmoil? Instead of gentleness, is there a short temper? Instead of faith, is there endless worry? Instead of meekness, is there pride and arrogance? Instead of self-control, are you a victim of your own passions? If so, then either you don't know God at all or a recommitment to Christ would be in order.
If you are a Christian, then people should be able to look for—and find—fruit in your life. Why? Because a disciple of Jesus Christ will produce spiritual fruit. Jesus said, " 'My true disciples produce much fruit. This brings great glory to my Father'" (John 15:8 NLT). Jesus also said, "'By their fruits you will know them'" (Matthew 7:20 NKJV).
The metaphor of bearing fruit is used quite often in the Bible. In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus spoke of seed that falls on different types of ground, representing different reactions to the truth of the gospel message. The final category He mentioned in Mark 4:20 was good ground: "But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred" (NKJV). In other words, those who have spiritual longevity are those who embrace this truth and produce fruit. The Bible tells us that we should bear fruit worthy of repentance (see Matthew 3:.
The Bible gives us different pictures as to what "bearing fruit" means. For example, praising and thanking God is a way of bearing fruit in our lives. Hebrews 13:15 says, "Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name" (NKJV). When you praise God, that is bearing fruit.
At one of our church services, I noticed a young woman in the front row who was in a wheelchair. Her legs were gone, and she had only one arm, which was a partial one. As we were worshipping, this young woman lifted what she had of her arm to the Lord. I thought about how this must have pleased God. She didn't have hands to lift, but what she had, she lifted to the Lord. Did she have troubles in her life? Did she have difficulty? Of course she did. But she offered a sacrifice of praise to God.
We don't praise God only when we are in the mood. Rather, we praise God because He is worthy of our praise. Our word, "worship," comes from the old English form, worthship. We praise that which is worthy. Therefore, we don't praise God because we feel like it. We praise God because He deserves our praise. When we do this, we are bearing fruit.
What we say is also a type of fruit in our lives. Jesus said, "'A good person produces good deeds from a good heart, and an evil person produces evil deeds from an evil heart. Whatever is in your heart determines what you say'" (Luke 6:45 NLT). When you are a true Christian, it will be reflected by what you say. This is bearing fruit as well.
Can others identify spiritual fruit in your life? Remember, people are watching you. They are listening to you. I hope that you are pointing them to Jesus.
Please pass it on to your friends and family. remain on top for Jesus Christ.Amen
