THE TARES WILL SOON BE SEPARATED FROM THE WHEAT.

Repentance

Even now, people lust after mannequins and statues. Keep your eyes and your hearts from lusts. Be prepared for the return of the Lord. Stay ready. He is coming.

Thanks all points well noted. The grace to be alert is needed. Remain blessed.

Remain blessed as well.

WORDLY SONGS AND DANCE STEPS
1 Corinthians 10:31
31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Most worldly songs directly glorify satan and blasphemes God. When you listen to those songs and dance those evil dance steps, you are joining the singer in glorifying satan and blaspheming God at the same time. You are guilty of the same offence.

This is even worse when you sing these worldly songs or those dance steps in the church. You are directly polluting the altar of God in that church. These are some of the reasons for unanswered prayers and hindrance of the move of God in the church of Christ, today.

Be a better person this year and stay ready for the coming of the Lord at all times.

FEW NEGATIVE ATTITUDES TO GET RID OFF NOT TO MISS THE MOVES OF GOD IN 2017

INTRODUCTION
For any new year that is ushered in, God always has agendas He has set out to achieve in people, churches and nations for that year, just as each individual also has agendas he also has set out to achieve for the new the year. The agendas of God for the New Year can be referred to as His moves for that New Year.

There are basic two ways to key ourselves into God's moves for any New Year. They are by

1.By Positioning Yourself for that Move of God. This was talked about in January 2016.

2. By Getting Rid of Anything that can hinder you for that move. Some of these behaviours will be highlighted.


FEW NEGATIVE ATTITUDES TO GET RID OFF ARE LISTED BELOW
Some of the attitudes believers must get rid include the following. I have observed that many believers don’t particularly pay attention to many of these characters. Many believers display them freely but they have great spiritual negatively implications. I pray that God will minister to us Himself.

1. INGRATITUDE
Many believers don’t show gratitude. Showing gratitude is not an option, it should be a way of life for them. Show gratitude to God for all things at all times. Show gratitude to people. Show gratitude to your family and other people. Even show gratitude to your children if they accomplish a task for you. Showing gratitude will help us not to miss out on the moves of God for this year.


2. SWEARING
Mathew 5:34,37
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

Speak the truth at all times. Stop swearing to get people to believe you. I have corrected a few believers for swearing. Some Christians even swear by saying Wallahi (a popular word muslims swear with). I have corrected a few. Do not swear to prove any point.


3. JOINING THE BAND WAGON
Christians are not supposed to be following the crowd because it is not the crowd that is going to heaven. It gives me a concern when you see Christians rush to play sport betting, do MMM, go about shouting up Chelsea or calling themselves the ‘red devil’ after a manchester United match. Many Christians suddenly became MMM evangelists and yet they never preached the Gospel of Jesus to anyone. When you see people rush into anything without a restraint, wait a bit, take caution, look at that thing critically, examine it with the Word of God. As a confirmation, you can even pray for a confirmation before you make a move. The road to heaven is still narrow.


4. COMEDY/JESTING
Ephesians 5:3-4
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Most of the comedies that many believers listen to are blasphemous in contents. Yet, believers sit down and begin to laugh. This is sheer evil and must be stopped.

Also, it is an evil thing to bring comedians and jesters to the house of God to come and crack jokes. They blaspheme the name of God, Word of God, Blood of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit and even tell lies in other to make people laugh in church. And the ignorant pastor and the congregations will be laughing boisterously. They trivialize salvation.

This is evil and sinful. Separate from it even if others are doing it. Key yourself into the moves of God.


5. USING THE NAME OF GOD IN VAIN
Exodus 20:7
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Don’t use the name of God for exclamations. Many young Christian men will see girls they are lusting after, on the road and shout ‘Jesus’! Please stop all these. Don’t speak in tongues for fun or for vain purposes. Some young men will be toasting girls and will still be using ‘tongues’. These are not to be. Stop them this year, 2017. When something amuses don’t shout ‘the blood of God’ or ‘the blood of Jesus’ to laugh it off.


6. SEXUAL LUSTS
Many Christians are constantly in sexual lustunknowingly even to the person next to the them. Lust is a secret sin. Many people cannot even say it out they sre struggling with lust. Lust can hinder your prayers and even you from the moves of God.
OVERCOMING SEXUAL LUST is being treated in detail here.


7. EATING FOODS SACRIFICED TO IDOLS/DEVILS
1 Corinthians 10:20
But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

It is absolutely unbiblical for Christians to eat animals and foods used for non-Christians festivals based on the scripture above. In fact, God has put a stop to ALL animal sacrifice after the death of Jesus. When believers now go about eating rams and other food items sacrificed by adherents of other faithful, then there is spiritual crisis. You cannot eat from the table of the Lord and of the enemy at the same time

The Lord, Jesus Christ, after His death, resurrection and ascension visited Apostle John and told John to rebuke the Church at Pergamos for eating things sacrificed to idols.

Revelation 2:20
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

It broke my heart to read in the media in the year, 2016, that some Nigerian Christian leaders even broke the popular 30-day non-Christian fast with a governor in Northern Nigerian – selling their destinies like Adam/Eve on one hand and Esau on the other hand.


8. All things the Holy Spirit has been talking to you to address
Apart from a few things listed above, please listen to the Voice of the Holy Spirit. Whatever He has been talking to you to correct in your life, quickly correct it. Don’t tarry. Pray that God should help you in your area of weakness.

I pray that you will not miss out on the Moves of God in Jesus name.

Thank you.

JESUS is coming. Stay prepared in absolute Repentance, Righteousness and Holiness.

I WISH YOU A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS YEAR, 2017.

jericco1:
anyway am still not convinced, if we are to go by this, then everybody has in one way or the other lust.

Yes you are right. I had this struggle after I became born again. I had overexposed myself to pornographic images and also loved to looked around at unclad women on the steer, when I was an unbeliever. After, I came born again. I had this struggle- all the pornographic movies I had watched were playing to me from my heart on their own and I was still being carried away with looking at sensitive parts of women on the street. Then I began to take deliberate steps to be able to overcome all these things.

Satan himself knew lust to be a major sin and problem.That is why he is flooding the women with clothes that expose their sensitive parts and men will always find themselves lusting after them. It is a deliberate attack from the enemy.Brother it is possible to overcome lust.

However, it possible to overcome lust of the eyes. Job understood the gravity of lusting after women and He made a determination to overcome it.

New International Version
Job 31:1
"I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.

jericco1:
that contradicts the initial post
lust comes in stages and until it reaches its final stage it shouldn't be considered to be lust

It did not contradict. Lust of the eyes is the first stage. It is a Lust. Lust of the heart is the second stage and it is a lust.

FIVE STAGES OF LUSTS
I was made to understand that the fall of Adam by Satan through Eve was due to Eve’s undergoing the complete stages of Lust after the forbidden fruit. Let us look at our working scripture.

From the underlined in our working scripture, we can see the processes or stages that Eve went through:

1. She made eye contact with the forbidden fruit and could not take her eyes away from it. {pleasant to the eye).
2. Her heart desired to have a taste of the fruit (a tree to be desired).
3. In between, before she took the fruit, she must have planned how to pluck the fruit.
4. She carried out her heart desire by eating the fruit. She took action (and did eat)
5. Consequently, she became lost to death (God’s judgement).

These five stages that Lot went through led sequentially one to another. Each stage is lust on its own and is sinful. Let us look at these five stages in practical ways at they affect youths.

jericco1:
what if you lust at a potential target, and at the end, you don't taste the fruit..

It is still lust. You are just only at the first stage of Lust. Tasting the fruit is the real action stage of lust. It is the fourth stage. If you did not check lust at the first stage and allow it to persist, It will gradually become so strong and you will take a step further. you may gradually end up in fornication/adultery or masturbation.

By God's grace, OVERCOMING YOUTHFUL LUST, PART 3, shall be posted on December 31, 2016. Please, follow up.

You are right from the scripture you quoted but read further Genesis 3:3

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

God bless you.

Lust is not always sexual even duh it can be sexual but not always sexual we lust over many things mostly I feel itz just a craving for and illegitimate desires or pleasure

You are right but because we are dealing with sexual lust that is why I paraphrased it like that and I will do so for all the five stages of sexual lust.

BuddhaPalm:
"Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good" ----- Genesis 1:31

Sexual desire, or its expression, can't be sin.

Sexual desire on its own is not a sin. It becomes ungodly and a sin when that desire is towards a person who is not your wife. For instance, If you are married and shows sexual desire towards another woman that is not your wife, that is lust of the heart and it is a sin OR you are not married and shows a sexual desire towards a person, it is also lust and is a sin as well. that is what we are trying to address.

OVERCOMING YOUTHFUL SEXUAL LUSTS, PART 2

Working Scripture: Genesis 3:6
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

As we highlighted for part 1, we are going to from the underlined in our working scripture, again, the processes or stages that Eve went through with the forbidden fruit:

1. She made eye contact with the forbidden fruit and could not take her eyes away from it. (pleasant to the eye).
2. Her heart desired to have a taste of the fruit (a tree to be desired).
3. In between, before she took the fruit, she must have planned how to pluck the fruit.
4. She carried out her heart desire by eating the fruit. She took action (and did eat)
5. Consequently, she became lost to death (God’s judgement).

For part 1, we dealt with the first stage of lust by drawing reference from the first action of Eve concerning the forbidden fruit but now we want to go to the second stage by drawing reference to the second action of Eve.

SECOND STAGE OF LUST (THE DESIRE STAGE)
Lust at this stage can be given by the acronym below

L -LONGING for
U -UNGODLY
S -SEXUAL
T -TOUCH/TASTE/TEST/TRIAL

The first stage of lust directly leads to the second stage of lust. In this second stage, your heart plays back whatever images of sexual targets your eyes have captured and desires to see them again or even have a feel or touch of those images.

The major agent at work here is the heart. The heart works like a storage device of a computer which can give you back whatever information you have stored in it. At this stage, the heart plays back for you all the pornographic images and sexual targets your eyes have captured and goes a step further by processing them for you. The heart can make you imagine how it will be if you have a real touch or a real taste or a real test or a feel of those sexual targets your eyes have captured. The desire or passion at this stage can be so intense and disturbing even after the images are out of sight of that youth because of the ability of your heart to act involuntarily on the signal.

Because of this sensitive nature of the heart, the scripture charges us to be cautious our hearts.

Proverb 4: 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Let it be stressed that lustful signals can also be fed into the heart through other agents like the ears and the mouth if you keep hearing sensuous songs and saying sensuous words. Many songs that the youths of today listen to are erotica in content. When you store such into your heart, your heart can play them back for you at will and then fill you with desire to actualize the content. Even many dance steps are erotica and youths expose themselves to such dance steps.

The Lord, Jesus Christ, Himself, calls this stage of the lust, ‘adultery of the heart’ and it is a sin just as the lust of the eyes is a sin.

Mathew 5:28 But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Can we also see in this scripture that lust of eyes leads to lustful sexual desire in the heart.

Pro 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

Proverb 6:25 emphasizes beauty and eyelids as some of the targets a man can lust after in his heart. Man should wonder less why many women today spend so much on artificial ‘beauty’, eyelashes and attires of harlot– just to seduce or get men to lust after them. You are counseled not to be victims of these.

If you found out your heart is always desiring to have a touch/taste/test of any sexual object you are exposed to, please, quickly deal with it or seek help. It might be lust of the heart.

The short video below shows a young man that is going through a serious ‘Longing for Ungodly Sexual Taste (or perhaps Touch or Test) in his heart – Lust of the heart (adultery of the heart).


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShE4rRYeG5c

This was how Eve desired to taste the forbidden fruit. For Eve, lust at this stage is given by the acronym below.

L -LONGING for
U -UNGODLY
S -SINFUL
T -TOUCH

They desired to have a sinful touch and sinful taste of the forbidden fruit. Adam and Eve had been warned neither to touch nor eat the forbidden fruit.

Adam and Eve had been warned neither to touch nor eat the forbidden fruit.

Gen 3: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

The instruction not to touch the fruit was perhaps to cast a stumbling block towards the eating of the fruit. After all, they could not eat the fruit if they did not touch. We can see that God did not really want them to eat. But here, we see Eve already desiring to touch and eat what her eyes had seen and was pleasant to them.

PRAYERS

1. Lord, Jesus Christ, heal me of all adultery of heart.

2. Lord, Jesus Christ, stretch out your hand into my heart and delete all lustful images that have been stored there.

3. Lord, help me to always stand by you at every stage of my decision making.

4. Fill my heart with your love.

5. Send the fire of the Holy Ghost into my heart and refine it.

Watch out for Part 3 of this teaching. It will be posted here very soon.

AfroSamurai:
It's trash as Hell! The OP is as myopic as the average nigerian who has been baptised with all manner of religious sentimentalism coupled with all manner of nepotistic and narrow-minded view, which they use to view whatever, from their narrow minded perspective.

The OP in his haste to shame sexual lust, forgot that the youths of today crave something more than sexual lust, which is of course, money.

Let's face it bro, all the ashana, olosho, and ayamgba we see out there are chasing what, lust or money?

Even our politicians, who are old, what do they chase, lust or money? Ask yourself how Dasuki, FFK, Dokpesi and the likes carted billions of dollar away.

Even our pastors of today, what do they chase, lust or money? You see them say one can only enter Heaven when one pay his tithe and sow seeds. How many times do you even hear them (pastors) preach about lust? All they preach is money, money and money etc.

So, the OP is just showcasing his narrow mindedness. He doesn't know anything.

Young peeps today chase and lust after money more than anything else, because money brings every other thing. Nothing more, nothing less.

I did not say it is a sin to desire a material thing in a godly way. what I am saying is that lust is a sin. And we are trying here to make us know what lust is. As the series continues, we will deal with how to overcome them. Pls follow the thread.

OVERCOMING YOUTHFUL SEXUAL LUSTS, PART 1

Dear Youths and all those who are entangled in the evil web of sexual lusts,
please follow up with this thread, we are presenting a series of in-depth biblical and practical teachings on Youthful Sexual lust to help the youths overcome sexual lusts in their preparation for Christ's return. Please, read with open heart and prayerfully.

Working Scripture: Genesis 3:6
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

INTRODUCTION
One day, I asked the youths if they knew the meaning of ‘lust’. Everybody answered with a ‘yes’. Then I asked whoever that had lusted after anyone to raise up his or her hand. Only a few raised their hands. I, also, raised my hand. The others that did not raise their hands were laughing at us who raised our hands. I asked them why they didn’t raise their hands but they could not answer but kept on laughing. I concluded they either did not know the meaning of lust or were just pretending.

Let’s face it. Almost everyone who is old enough to understand the meaning of ‘lust’ has lusted after one person or the other, at least once. This teaching will help you to understand the meaning of lust both biblical and practically, determine if you are in lust and what to do to overcome it.


WHAT IS LUST?
Lust can simply be defined as desiring, craving, longing to have or doing what is ungodly in preference to that which comes from God. Anybody can lust after anything. There could be lust after food like children of Israel did in the wilderness, lust after music, lust after clothe or lust after anything once it is ungodly. But since we are dealing with youthful sexual lust, I will paraphrase lust to be desiring, craving, longing to have or doing an ungodly sexual act especially by the Youths.


[u[FIVE STAGES OF LUSTS[/u]
I was made to understand that the fall of Adam by Satan through Eve was due to Eve’s undergoing the complete stages of Lust after the forbidden fruit. Let us look at our working scripture.

From the underlined in our working scripture, we can see the processes or stages that Eve went through:

1. She made eye contact with the forbidden fruit and could not take her eyes away from it. {pleasant to the eye).
2. Her heart desired to have a taste of the fruit (a tree to be desired).
3. In between, before she took the fruit, she must have planned how to pluck the fruit.
4. She carried out her heart desire by eating the fruit. She took action (and did eat)
5. Consequently, she became lost to death (God’s judgement).

These five stages that Lot went through led sequentially one to another. Each stage is lust on its own and is sinful. Let us look at these five stages in practical ways at they affect youths.


FIRST STAGE OF LUST (THE CONTACT STAGE)
Lust at this stage is given by the acronym below.
L -LOOKING
U -UNCONTROLABLY at
S -SEXUAL
T -TARGETS

This is the stage where a youth gets in contact with his/her sexual target. The primary agent here is the eyes. The eyes of a youth come in contact with his/her sexual targets and lose control. The target may be a chorister singing worship, the pointed nose of a female/male, the eyelid of a female, the moustache of a male, the uncovered straight legs of a female/male, the muscular frame of a man or any sensuous part of a female/male. Some youths even lusts after unclad mannequins in boutiques. Other lustful sexual targets include pornographic images and videos on magazines, Facebook, Whatzapp, Nairaland, YouTube and so on. Once, I saw a video on the internet of a man that saw a statue of an unclothe female. He was so much lost in lust that he went to hug the statue and began to caress it. Lust can be so burning. Burn it before it burns you.

Once, you are lost in control of looking at any ‘sensuous’ part of an opposite sex, and the image feel pleasant to your sight, then you are engrossed in what the scripture calls ‘the lust of the eyes’.

1 John 2:16 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.

The lust of the eyes is a sin and not of God. This was the first thing that happened to Eve in the garden. She started looking uncontrollably at the forbidden fruit and it was pleasant to her eyes. For Eve, Lust at this stage is given by the acronym below.

L -LOOKING
U -UNCONTROLABLY at
S -SINFUL
T -TARGET

In this case, the sinful target that Eve could not take her eyes away from was the forbidden fruit.

The first stage of lust which we refer to as the contact stage if not dealt with quickly will lead a man/woman to the second stage which has to do with the heart. This we shall look at in the second part of this teaching.


PRAYERS
1. Lord, Jesus Christ, set the fire of Holy Ghost in my eyes and burn off all the spirit of lust working inside them.

2. Cast out the lust out of my eyes by the finger of God.

3. Do not allow me to fall to lust like Adam and Eve

4. Destroy every trap of seduction on my way by the fire of God.

5. My eyes will not send me to hell fire in Jesus’ name.

Psalm 15
1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

You think you are smart.

Before you created your post, Hybrid rice have been existing.

I never knew hybrid rice existed before I posted what the Lord showed me and I deliberately not searched for it on the internet before I posted it so that I will not be biased in the message. I posted it out first and then I searched for it on the internet and saw it. Now the message the Lord gave me is not whether it had existed before now or not BUT THAT IT IS COMING TO NIGERIA AND WHAT THOSE WHO WILL INTRODUCE IT IN NIGERIA WANT TO ACHIEVE WITH IT.

Yesterday, while I was in a public bus, the thought of this hybrid rice came to my mind again and I began to think about the vision, then my eye came in contact with the inscription on the T-shirt a man that sat beside me was wearing and the inscription was HYBRID. I agreed that was a confirmation.

WE ARE GOING TO STARTING A SERIES OF THREAD ON OVERCOMING YOUTHFUL SEXUAL LUST TO HELP THE YOUTH. Watch out.
