Topic: LUSTFUL DESIRES
Biblical Text: ‘ Wherefore, God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts to dishonor their bodies between themselves. ‘ [Romans 1:24]

A lustful desire is a general want or longing not necessarily a sexual want. Sometimes ago, I went to a parastatal in Abuja to have an appointment with a secretary to the minister. On getting to the 4th floor where I will confirm my appointment, I saw a young man engrossed with his mobile phone. He was watching a pornographic content. On sighting me, he quickly hid his phone. Here is an example of someone fulfilling his lustful desires through pornographic content. I never had the chance to share the Gospel with him that day. Regrettably, the next time I went there, it was his obituary picture I saw! Whether he repented before he died, only God knows. Nowadays, people are publicly exhibiting their lustful desires without shame. The society is gradually conforming to their standard.. And God gave them up to uncleanness through the lust of their own hearts [ Romans 1:24 ]. They lust after their idols; they lust after money; men burning in their lust for one another. In times like this, we are advised to flee. We must flee lustful desires. Joseph flee from the lustful desires of Potiphar’s wife. He refused to compromise his righteousness. Also, to overcome the lustful desire of pornography, avoid watching demonic sites on the internet that fuel your lust and cut off from the wrong company that fuel your lustful desires. Determine to follow after righteousness and they that call God with a pure heart.

KNOW IT ∞ We must flee lustful desires.
READ IT ∞ Romans 1:24-27, 1 Corinthians 10:6, Psalm 78:18
PRAY IT ∞ Father, I receive grace to flee lustful desires and follow after righteousness.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ Acts 15-17

Topic: HE WILL REVEAL HIMSELF MIGHTILY
Biblical Text: ‘ For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of Lords, a great God, a mighty and a terrible which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward ‘. [Deuteronomy 10:21].

Sennacherib, the king of Assyria came up against the defensed cities of Judah, he sent Rabshakek to Jerusalem to speak to King Hezekiah to surrender to Assyria. Rabshakek boasted in the ears of king Hezekiah representatives and the people saying that their God would not deliver them. The people were afraid. When King Hezekiah heard all that was said, he was sad and cried unto the Lord. The Word of the Lord came through prophet Isaiah for Israel saying, They should not be afraid, that God will reveal Himself mightily. And He did! Without King Hezekiah and his army lifting a sword, the Lord sent an angel to the camp of the Assyrians and killed 185,000 people in the camp of the Assyrians. God reveal Himself mightily!
A young man who works in an oil serving company was travelling by boat to Port Harcourt when their boat suddenly capsized. He cried out to God to save him. Suddenly, the drowning young man felt someone grip his hand and prevented him from sinking on the sea. Hours later when rescue operators came, he opened his eyes and saw that what held him for hours was a leaf! No one was there! God revealed Himself mightily to him. There are no impossible cases with God. He will reveal Himself mightily in your situation in Jesus Name.

KNOW IT ∞ There is no impossible situation that God can not reveal himself mightily.
READ IT ∞ Deuteronomy 4:37, Isaiah 37:36, Psalm 50:1
PRAY IT ∞ Father, reveal yourself mightily in my situation.
