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.

READ IT ∞ Romans 1:24-27, 1 Corinthians 10:6, Psalm 78:18
