There are several people under the control of the devil. They want to stop sinning and committing fornication but just don’t know how. Jesus came to rectify that problem. He’s the solution to every man’s challenges. He’s the only one that sets people free from every guilt and condemnation (John 8:36). Will you come to Him today?
God doesn’t want a struggling person to restore another sin-struggling person. So in Galatians 6:1, He inspired Paul to write that anybody in Christ caught in sin should be restored by only spiritual people. But there is an additional caution for those who’ll do it. That they should consider themselves, lest they should also be tempted. Wow!
The devil is very subtle. He can present what is forbidden before God in a glamorous way to your eyes that you can fall for his deception. It happened to Eve and Lord; it can happen to you if you aren’t careful.
In Proverbs 26:20, Solomon, by divine inspiration, tells us that to deal with a fire outbreak, focus on destroying the wood that fuels the fire to burn. And to deal with quarrels, simply avoid gossip. So God is indirectly telling us today that we must learn how to deal with issues from the root causes and not the result.
We live in a world that lies in wickedness (1 John 5:19 KJV). And that means situations that’ll trigger compromise of God’s standards in us will come in multiple folds. That’s why we must take a firm stance. Decide that “If what I’m doing exalts God, I’ll do it with all my heart. And if not, I’ll resist it with all the strength of Christ in me.”
You’re redeemed in Christ Jesus by His blood so that you’ll live the life you ought to – that life filled with good works which God foreordained for you to live in Christ (Ephesians 2:10). Good works don’t contain evil acts. No work of the flesh is part of the eternal life you’ve been given in Christ.
Watch your life closely. Check your attitude. What are you doing that’s creating an atmosphere of laziness in any area of your life? It could be excessive sleeping, overworking, or lack of prayer. Check it and solve it by applying God’s wisdom from the Word.
Understanding why God has given you a body for the Holy Spirit to dwell in and becoming conscious of it is an even more powerful way to flee from sexual immorality. Why? Because you’ll learn how to control your body and use it purposefully.
Have you ever experienced regret after seeing a bad result of something you’ve done that you thought would end well? That is remorse. How should you handle it as a child of God? Learn it today from God’s Word.
Child of God, understand that life is in seasons. You don’t have to lust after the possessions of others just because they are lovely. Nobody’s life is as good as one presents it for others to see, especially on social media.
Your flesh had been crucified when you came into Christ (Galatians 5:24). Demolish every thought that the devil suggests in your mind to use your body to do something evil while being conscious of glorifying God in all your doings.
As a child of God, you only need to focus on following and knowing Jesus. That’s it. You’ll see that He’ll give you all the satisfaction your soul craves and all the provision you need to live a fulfilled life of purpose.
