1 Thessalonians 5:22 KJV
[22] Abstain from all appearance of evil.
We had a beautiful time on Tuesday sharing about overcoming lust and addictions. One of the most important things I shared was that we should confront thoughts with words, and not just mere words but with the word of God!
The truth is, you can overcome lust. Oh you can. If you are ready to overcome it, you will.
Do not put a date to your delivery, allow God set you free today. Some people are already saying that by 2025 they will stop pornography, some are saying that by January 1, 2026 they will stop sleeping around, they will stop fornicating and they will stop adultery.
As long as you have an expected date of freedom from lust and addictions, you are not ready yet. You have to make up your mind to receive your freedom today! I know you are enjoying sin but believe me, whatever you do in secret soon enough will be in the open.
God wants to set you free. God is interested in your freedom. Decide to be free today!
When you see the appearance of evil, do not start counselling, the word of God is simple, Run! My Igbo brothers will say, Ba Oso, my Yoruba brothers even make It more simple, Sare!
When a man is already undressing, do not start rebuking them in the name of Jesus, run!
When that woman is dressing almost naked and is visiting you, do not start teaching her on modest dressing, run!
When your friends start teaching you how to commit evil, before you advise them, run!
Run so that you are safe. The Bible is simple, run!
Do not wait to see evil before you run, once it looks like evil, before it becomes evil, please run!
You cannot overcome sexual immorality without discipline. You can be anointed but if you do not subject yourself to discipline you will fall!
I believe strongly that the lord is laying these things in my heart and I am sure it is an instruction to all of us.
Today, begin to RUN!
Till we arrive at the point of the full manifestation of what God has said concerning us, we will continue to share some of these things as we journey.
