MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 29 December 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Flee Youthful Lust

TOPIC: Flee Youthful Lust (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 29 December 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Timothy 2:22

MEMORY VERSE: “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.” – Proverbs 1:10

The MESSAGE:

Lust is a strong emotional pull that is meant to drag a person into the pit of destruction. The world today is filled with all sorts of profane and vain activities and uncontrolled emotions such as lust. Lust refers to unrestrained craving for something. It could be money, power, sex, etc, and it is one of the major temptations facing all of us today, especially our youths (young adults). The youths are mostly caught in the web of lust because of the adventurous nature of their age grade. As believers, Jesus urged us to flee from all appearances of evil, or simply put, youthful lusts.

The Bible says some important things about lust, which we must consider:

  • It says that the lust of the flesh entails fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind (Ephesians 2:3).
  • It tells us that lust is of the world and not of the Father (1 John 2:16).
  • It admonishes us not to make provision for the flesh to fulfil the lusts, but to put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).
  • It tells us to “Flee” (Run away from) youthful lusts but follow righteousness (2 Timothy 2:22).

The story of Amnon and Tamar (2 Samuel 13:1-39) shows the destruction that follows yielding to lust. Amnon received wrong advice from his friends, Jonadab, to follow through with the lust he had for his sister. Rather than flee, he (Amnon) had his way with his sister. He faced the consequence of his actions, not immediately but two years later when Absalom ordered servants to kill him. Yielding to lust is a channel the enemy uses to terminate destinies. Therefore, we must be vigilant and prayerful. We must also ask for God’s help to retrace our steps wherever we have gone astray.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
FLEE YOUTHFUL LUSTS AND FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS.

PROPHETIC WORD:
The LORD will separate you from evil friends.
