For taking your time to study remain blessed.

DATE: THURSDAY 14th  OCTOBER

TOPIC: KILL FORNICATION COMPLETELY IN YOUR LIFE 

TEXT: Matthew 5: 27-30  

Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, 

that ye should abstain from fornication:

Let no part of your body move to fornication. Kill it! Put uncleanness to death. Cancel it in your life. No corrupt character, no way in your life, no way are you going to be unclean. Destroy inordinate, unnatural affection and lustful eyes. 

You see a sister, you will look at her. Oh this sister, she is beautiful, I just like seeing her. You are attracted to her. It is unnatural. You want always to see her, to come closer. You are preparing for immorality. You have already committed it in the heart.

Therefore, keep off from such unnatural love, getting easily infatuated with people, getting easily fascinated with people. Avoid inordinate affection and unnatural affection and lustful eyes, seeing people and always saying they are good. Remove it from your eyes.

Again, reject evil concupiscence or evil bodily desire. Reject all these desires that are moving round you. Deny them! When you stand before a man or woman, and there are some thoughts that want to move from you, resist them, reject and cast them out, bind them, hold them captive to the obedience of Christ. 

You just pick a lady and say without her, I won't know another one. You are preparing to leave the church. “It must be this man. If the church says no, we will go and wed in another place”. You have made an idol out of that person, and God becomes smaller than that person before you! So, who can control you again? 

If our God has become smaller, is it we who are under our God. You have made an idol out of somebody and when you make an idol out of the person who wants to marry you, what can you not give him? You will give him your body because you want to grab him and make sure you don't lose him. 

Avoid covetousness. The Bible is warning us against evil but you must take steps of victory. If anything, anyone, any business, the first fire of immorality has started and you see from that business whatever you are gaining from it, run away from that man whatever is the contribution of that man. 

Thought for the day: Flee fornication

Song for the day: I will never let the devil win the battle....

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 53-55; 1 Thessalonians 2
