20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee,
because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess,
to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things
sacrificed unto idols. Revelation 2:20-23
Sexual
immorality has suffered many great leaders around the world!
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he
fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:
but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are
able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be
able to bear it.
1 Corinthians 10:12-13
The
truth is you can be different, watch your heart furiously well, and treat your
life like you're in a battle ground because many things by the devil are
designed to ruin you!!
In
whatever you do, what you listen to, most of the time, determines what you will
turn out to be!
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of
life. Proverbs 4:23
Everything
has a way infecting and affecting your mind, which at the end of the day
results to who you will be!
People will keep on
saying it’s just a movie, it’s just a song there's nothing about it. The more
you spend your time with materials that promote sexual immorality, it will therefore
affect your decisions about sex and it’s immoralities!
I
had to stop watching a particular T.V Series, where fornication or sex, was not
really the order of the day, but something they practice as a way of life!
GOD
told me, I can protect you from all evils, but it is up to you to guard your
heart.
Proverbs
4:23
Everything
had to go, all sorts of worldly movies and music had to go, and I started
spending my time with everything that encourages GOD in my heart, it therefore
helped me as a leader.
There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept
back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do
this great wickedness, and sin against God?
Genesis 39:9
When
you find yourself in a tight spot like Joseph, who was tempted by his boss'
wife, what you have disciplined yourself with as a person and leader, will
manifest!
Joseph
had respected and feared GOD all his life and that was the only thing he knew, he
found it easy to confront Potiphar's wife that he could not sin against his
GOD!
Abstain from all appearance of evil. 1Thessalonians 5:22
As
a leader you will have the opportunity to meet a lot of people, with no effort,
and in being a good one a lot of people will like to familiarize themselves
with you!
This is where you have to be careful, with the
opposite sex. Once you notice the way they act which may seems inappropriate,
or when they just act in an innocent way and they don't know they are affecting
you sexually, do something about it! Be
quick! Don’t hesitate!
Don't
get comfortable, sometimes avoid the unnecessary hugs, pecks and holding of
hands....
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 1Peter 5:8
Always
do a rain check on yourself, don't think there is nothing wrong.... If you find
out you're sexually attracted to someone or someone is to you, cut down on the
relationship with the person, insist on strictly business and let the person be
or the person should let you be!
20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise, but a companion of
fools shall be destroyed.\
Proverbs 13:20 (KJV)
Your
friends matter, they help in either encouraging you in being a better Christian
or they can talk down on the righteous life style you have carefully built, in
the past few years!!
Avoid
friends that love sex topics and encourage sexual perversion! One thing I know
is if you spend most of your time as leader whiling it away on perverse talk,
you're wasting one of the most important gift GOD gave you apart from your
life, #TIME!!!
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed
thereto according to thy word. Psalm 119:9
To
cleanse your life, from every sting of sexual immorality is to study and
meditate the word of GOD! For it empowers one to be able to resist the devil!
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will
flee from you. James 4:7
Another
way to deal with sexual immorality is to pray and fast!
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Matthew
17:21
People find it hard
to do without sexual immorality, another way to empower oneself against this
sin is to pray and fast!
This I say then,
Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians
5:16
Well
it may be that you're deep into the acts of sexual immorality, never think that
GOD has given up on you! You may think you can't be a better Christian, know
this that the #Grace of GOD is available to conquer all forms of sin!
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my
strength is made perfect in weakness. 2Corinthians 12:9
Perverse
sex has ruined a lot of people don't let it get you! You can only have a leadership

close relationship with GOD! You can have one by clicking this link bit.ly/ZdKODh
#Prayer
Points…. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do
it. John 14:14
1.
LORD help my heart against every act of sexual immorality
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against
thee.
Psalm 119:11
2.
LORD help me to discipline myself against every act of sexual immorality!
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that
by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 1
Corinthians 9:27
3.
LORD grant me the #Grace to live a righteous life for you!
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my
strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory
in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Corinthians 12:9 King James Version (KJV)

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot
be hid.
