The message in this quote is not just a suggestion—it is a command pattern seen all throughout Scripture: when it comes to lust and temptation, God does not tell you to fight it… He tells you to flee.

Look at the life of Joseph in Genesis 39. When temptation came through Potiphar’s wife, Joseph did not stand there trying to “rebuke” lust or reason with it. The Bible says:

“And it came to pass… she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.” (Genesis 39:12, KJV)

He ran. He left everything behind—even his reputation, even his garment—because he understood something many people today ignore:

Some battles are won by running, not resisting in place.

The Word of God confirms this again in 1 Corinthians 6:18:

“Flee fornication…”

Not manage it.
Not negotiate with it.
Not pray while staying in it.

Flee it.

Why? Because lust is not a small temptation—it is a consuming fire that destroys souls, homes, and destinies. Samson played with it and lost his strength. David lingered and fell into sin. But Joseph ran—and kept his integrity.

Child of God, hear this clearly:

Temptation will talk.
It will look appealing.
It will feel urgent.

But sin always hides a hook behind the bait.

That is why your victory is not in how strong you are—
your victory is in how fast you obey God and get out.

Jesus said:

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation…” (Matthew 26:41, KJV)

Notice—He didn’t say “stand in it and prove your strength.”
He said don’t enter it.

So when that message comes…
When that image appears…
When that person draws you in…

RUN.

Run from the conversation.
Run from the place.
Run from the habit.

Because every step away from sin is a step closer to God.

Joseph ran from lust—and ended up in purpose.
If you run today, you’re not losing…

you’re preserving your soul. 🔥

Umm, it's well not really easy sometimes

The best advice this early morning...

Only for him to go and marry Egypt's juju priest's daughter. Ah! God definitely did not forgive him for that.

He did the right thing.

Trying to bind the spirit would have wasted his time...... Anything wey make dat thing don stand to control am dey hard.

But David instead of fleeing from the palace, wanked Beersheba, the thing sweet him he arranged the death of her husband.

Annointed man of God for that matter.

And he was disgraced for it.

Patriarchy came up with christianity. The only person that bleeds to birth forth life is the mother.

So what are you driving at? We should not pray against temptations?
Joseph was even lucky to escape, because they got him arrested and took him to prison. If not she will get him. What if in a situation where all your livelihood to feed your family depends on that job with that kind of temptation? And there's no way out except you quit the job. Now, tell me what you'll do in this kind of case? Maybe you're a single mother of five, no support from anywhere. Please continue telling me what you'll do o. Or maybe you as a man, you travelled to America and Trump's wife as your MD is wooing you, and she has already promised you heaven and earth including your permanent stay with your family in Nigeria, please what will you do? Remember, nothing happens without God's plans

Interesting that an all-powerful God repeatedly tells humans to run from temptation instead of removing it. If the solution is always "flee," then the credit belongs more to human self-control than to divine intervention. Joseph ran because Joseph chose to run, not because God made the temptation disappear.

Honestly that's the best thing to do because that spirit is too strong to bind. The spirit self no dey hear binding, the only language e understand is fleeing because once that your SHARP OBJECT don stand no going back again, that time only forward marsh em dey here.

that’s the problem if e stand ehhh and she come touch am when e don hard then you don’t have any other thing to say than to succumb. That place is actually the brain of a man.

One can attribute the fear of God to this too.

Yes, Joseph fled but do you think he would've fled without the fear of God?

That's doubtful. God too, deserves some credit.

Always choose to do the right thing. God will see to it that he sort you out in the long run. Following God is not easy and it doesn't mean you will have it smooth, but it will all be worth it in the end.

All these stories na lie.

Na Fabu of the highest order.

Fables from the Middle East.

Tales by moonlight.

What is this one saying. O

Sorry, i know my statement over shocked you however the bible shows that

1). Who Joseph's wife was

2( it seems God had left him

3) After that God does not count him anong his 11 brothers but completely skips him and picked his 2 sons to replace him.

In other words, he alone got 2 slots out of the 12. If his marriage was an abomination, his kids would have missed out

The Israelites in Egypt enjoyed long after his death, because God favoured him.

There's no verse in the bible where God condemned Joseph for marrying Asenath

Some of you are really shortsighted….what is another job or business that God can’t provide for you that is 10 times better than the one you have that you want to allow compromise to finish you and discard the fear of God? Do you know each time you compromise you’re heaping curses on yourself and family and think nothing is happening because you can’t see the immediate effects? Compromise never pays

How many of these people got married to talk about marriage!

Singles talking about marriage without experience!

Jesus and Paul never got married!

So Flee from women entirely!

You are right though it depends on the lens you see from .Before the mother is the Earth and before earth is the Universe.

Did that story real make sense bro. A whole man of God, One of high Prophet of God will stooped so low to do even consider doing that can of abomination. Even in this generation full of perverts, we still see whole lot of people with faith not as strong as David completely abstain from such heinous sins.

As much as everybody is a sinner I don't believe such highly place prophet of God will committed that can of sin.

Also you know the Di*k is the pen (life force), while the V is the paper (Manifestation)

The story of Joseph is just a fairly tale,it's not real,so there are some people who still believe that kind of story in 2026 ?

A fool says in his heart there's God,

God, Satan Jesus Christ Angels and demons doesn't exist, there's no reliable concretable approvable evidence of their existence,

Heaven and hellfire is just an imagination, it's not real,

My people don't let anybody deceive you, open your eyes.

Are you also saying God's power is powerless in the face of danger? Don’t you think you can also pray for protection even in the face of danger? Are you belittling God's power? Must we run everytime? What of Shedrach, Messarch and Abednego? Including Daniel? Did they run out of fear or discomfort or challenges or threats?

Lust and Greed….
Greatest weapons in devil’s arsenal

Simply maybe because he's g@y

The LGBT rainbow color match the one wey e papa give am..

Maybe na the same reason make e brothers sell am...

Abi na why the king come love am?

Come to think of it self, most of the rich peoples na G@y

GJames:

"Action speaks louder than words! So yes, God did not say anything about Joseph's marriage but His Actions definitely did

Also, do you not remember that the vessels used by korah was still sanctified even though korah and all that he touched was an abomination? It is written "Hand in hand the wicked will not go unpunished". Proverbs 11:21

So, though Joseph was rejected God can stil accept his seeds. To think that this is even what He did for us in that even though Adam had fallen God still found Seth and Noah acceptable. So, this does not negate what we all see

See how you just came to embarrass yourself. Gay people don't run from women. The woman just finds that she is wasting her time
