Eyes Right
I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar.” Ps. 101:3 [emphasis added]
Immorality has a pattern, an identifiable process to how it happens. It starts with the thoughts, engages the emotions, and then translates to actions. Accepting sinful thoughts in the mind is the first step. God is clear in His Word about what we should do with sinful thoughts, “Turn your back on lustful thoughts…” 2 Tim. 2:22 [Ph, emphasis added]. The next step seems subtle but it is very dangerous – emotional, non-physical involvement. A lot of people deceive Read the rest of this entry
Watch And Pray
“Turn your back on lustful thoughts and give your positive attention to goodness, integrity, love, and peace” 2 Tim.2:22 [Ph, emphasis added]
When a man is desensitized, almost anything goes. And then there is no difference between a man and a dog. The media is the greatest source of sex mis-education because it never shows the consequences of sin. And as a result, there are a lot of people carrying secret scars. Almost everyone reading this has a secret scar, an unresolved guilt, bitterness, or shame that is related to sex. I pray that every such unresolved hurt, God Himself will resolve this season, in Jesus Read the rest of this entry
Mis-Education
“Above all else, watch over your heart; diligently guard it because from a sincere and pure heart come the good and noble things of life” Prov.4:23 [Voice]
You need to be aware that your resistance to sin can be lowered; so guard against it. When sin is glamorized, our resistance is lowered towards it. So watch the things that your heart desires so that they do not set you against God.
#2. By Implying Everyone Is Doing It: Another way the media breaks down our resistance to sin is by implying that everybody is doing it. And because a lot of people do not want to feel like fish out of water or like the “odd one out”, they Read the rest of this entry
Protect Them
“Your sons born in your youth are a protection, like arrows in the hand of a warrior. Happy is the man who has his quiver full, for they will help and protect him when he is old… for his sons will stand with him against his enemies” Pr. 127:4-5 [Voice]
For two days now we have been learning how to take charge of ourselves, take charge of our minds, and take charge of the content our children are consuming on different media platforms. As parents we are responsible because God has entrusted the lives and the destinies of these children into our hands. Statistics show that in just one year, a typical teenager has been exposed to visual input of fourteen thousand [14000] sexual encounters. In one year, the child will Read the rest of this entry
Own It!
“Turn your back on lustful thoughts and give your positive attention to goodness, integrity, love, and peace” 2 Tim.2:22 [Ph, emphasis added]
Yesterday we learnt to take charge of ourselves and take charge of our minds. Today I am urging you to take it a step further especially if you are a parent. You need to take charge of the media intake of your children. It is amazing how parents today allow their children to watch all sorts of things on television. It is almost as if some parents are not even interested in going through the pains of regulating the media that the children watch.
Be In Charge
“I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar” Ps.101:3 [emphasis added].
What is the point of eating bread that will turn into gravel in your mouth? Is it worth losing all your teeth? Who knows what is best for your life, you or God? This is the question you have to answer and settle in your heart. And your actions determine your answer to that question. Are you going to be more committed to doing what God says because He knows better? Or will you do what you think is best because it is your body? This is a question we all need to answer.

God’s Standard
“Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body” 1 Cor.6:18
God wants us to think clearly about sex. No body knows more about sex than God Himself because He invented it. “God wants you to be pure and to keep clear of all sexual sin…” 1 Thes.4:3 [LB, emphasis added]. During sexual intercourse, there is a spiritual exchange. Let me explain – if Lucy is carrying curses and has sexual intercourse with Lucas, the demons that have access to Lucy now has access to Lucas. Now Lucas is a young business-man with Read the rest of this entry
Purity Is Possible!
“God wants you to be pure and to keep clear of all sexual sin… For God has not called us to be dirty-minded and full of lust but to be holy and clean” 1 Thes.4:3,7 [LB, emphasis added]
God wants us to think clearly about sex. The question is how does one stay pure in a sex-saturated world? How does one stay pure in a world that is bombarded with sexual images, sexual nuances and with intense sexual pressure? I wondered about this myself in the past. So I am going to show you how and I trust that God will empower you to stay pure, in Jesus Name. How to stay pure in a sex-saturated world- four things:

God wants you to be pure and to keep clear of all sexual sin… For God has not called us to be dirty-minded and full of lust but to be holy and clean” 1 Thes.4:3,7 [LB, emphasis added]
Over the next few days, God is going to teach us how to think clearly about sex. Please note that the rating is PG 15. So parents please take note and engage your teenagers daily about the discourse. Your teenagers should know these things because if we [God’s Family] do not teach them, the “world” will try to teach them.
We live in a sex-saturated society. Everything, particularly in the media, has a sexual undertone and it is in our faces Read the rest of this entry
Weeds II
“The thorny ground represents those who hear and accept the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. And so they never grow into maturity.” Luke 8:14 [emphasis added].
Question – how much effort is needed to grow a weed? None! Do you know why? It is because weeds are signs of neglect. Anything you neglect will grow weeds. The farmers will tell you that any area you neglect on the farm, weeds will grow there. If you neglect your walk with God, it will grow weeds. If you neglect your relationship with your spouse, it will grow weeds. If you neglect your relationship with your children, it will grow weeds. If you neglect your education, Read the rest of this entry
