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.

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 bless you

I know church is not compulsory inorder to have a personal relationship with God , however, it is essential for a believer/ Christian to attend a good church and have an amazing pastor as a mentor...I'll recommend LOGIC(love Of God In Christ) CHURCH to you, if you can't attend physically, you can attend it online...Just search the logic church on YouTube...Trust me!, you'll enjoy it

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.
Amen. May God help us all.

That statement in bold is a lie. Jesus Christ never said that. Instead that idea was fed to you by your pastors and mogs who need your patronage in order to remain relevant. undecided

The only Church Jesus Christ ever spoke to His followers of is that which you become a part of when You begin to live your life in continuous submission to and obedience of His teachings and commandments. He alone gathers and commands that Church. That church does not assemble as your churches do nor does it have regular meetings like your churches. No, that church is only known of by those who truly belong to Jesus Christ and even then, they only interact only as stipulated in the Gospels. undecided

David, the most promiscuous character in the Bible, who would do anything, including murder, to cover up his sexual escapades (e.g. the killing of Uriah) is THE MAN AFTER GOD’S HEART. This is the 21st century, OP, stop propagating archaic religious mythologies and folklore here.

People will judge you by your religious and non religious affiliation. I’ve seen people’s careers crashed simply because they’re Christians. What they’ve been crucified for are things non Christians do without anyone batting an eye lid. Ditch these bogus religions, readers, and live a free life, unencumbered with these religious mumbo-jumbo.

"But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints" - Ephesians 5:3

"Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live." - Romans 8:12-13

What is destiny? Who determines human destiny? If destiny is predetermined and human actions changes it, is God still omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent? And before you scream free will, do people who, for example, genetically suffer from kleptomania (an incurable medical condition) able to exercise free will?

Jesus Christ instead told you that not fornication, but the sexual lust in your hearts is what is sin against God - Matthew 5 vs 27 - 28. So whether you flee fornication or not means absolutely nothing, because the moment you sexually lusted in your heart, you have already sinned against God. undecided

Sexual lust is a big challenge for most Christians....

I believe a way out is to continue to meditate on God's Word concerning sexual purity and the dangers of sexual sin.

Another practical way out is habitual fasting and praying.

Please what do you mean by *...THE WORD OF GOD WHICH I OBSERVE AND TEACH MEN TO OBSERVE > IS NOT THE BIBLE, < BUT JESUS AND HIS TEACHINGS IN OBEDIENCE TO HIS COMMANDMENT"?
If it's not from the Bible then where do you get your own knowledge of Christ from? And how do you know His teaching as you're exempting the Bible from your preaching?
Not trying to hold brief for anyone but according to Jesus Christ, God's New Covenant Law and Truth in the Kingdom of God, it isn't fornication, homosexuality and all other sexual acts which you lot like to list that are sins.. instead it is the sexual lust that registers in your hearts long before the physical acts themselves that is sin against God - Matthew 5 vs 27 - 28. So when you preach that fornication, homosexuality, beastiality etc., are sins using God's name, you lie against God. undecided

You were given about 100 commandments by Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago and commanded to continue in obedience of all of them if you want to be saved. No amount of prayer can save you if you refuse to obey any one of those laws. So start instead living in continuous submission and obedience so you can be saved at the end or all is in vain. undecided

Huh! I have left many things far behind because I came to the understanding that we are all here, running a race. God will not accept 88/100. No be by force to strive but one day, you will realize that you made ship wreck of all the opportunities life had given you.

Not every body has the same grace. There are lots of things/ spiritual transactions that go on when you have sex with a person whose spirit is polluted.
