Avoid Lust of the Flesh, Lust of the eyes and the pride of life.

The word “Lust” is defined as a strong desire for sex when love is not involved. Lust is caused by lack of self-control when people (men and women) are not satisfied with what they have or see. We are admonished to be careful and to always focus on God. Lack of focus on God causes us to lust. Many Men of God fell aside due to lack of self-control. David lusted after Uriah’s wife (2 Samuel 11). God said that He is our God and He would not forsake us. We forsake Him when we go contrary to His word. An example of lust of the flesh is indecent dressing by some people. Some Pentecostal Churches allow their parishioners to address indecently for services. Some parishioners wear see-through dress to Church and they cause others to sin. God admonished us in I Corinthians 7: 2 that “each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband”. If we allow the word of God to guide us, we will not fall prey to lust. Some parents do not have time for their children. Some Christians belong to secret societies. I Cor. 6:18 says that “All other sins a man commits are outside his body but he who sins sexually sins against his own body”. Finally the bible says that “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (I John 2:15).
