FLEE

Text : 2 Timothy  2:22 

 _*Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart*_ .

Biblically, the word "flee" means to seek safety by flight, to shun or avoid by flight something abhorrent, especially vices.

We have a number of things God warned us to flee from. Until you flee from these things and submit yourself to God, the devil himself cannot flee from you. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James  4:7).

God warned that we FLEE:

 *_1. Fornication_ :* 
Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.(1 Corinthians  6:18)  

 *_2. Idolatry_ :*
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.(1 Corinthians  10:14). Idolatry goes beyond worshipping an idol. If you love or revere anything or anyone above God, you are into idolatry. Hence, you must constantly and critically examine yourself to ensure that you are not holding anything or anyone above God in your heart. God must be the first in everything in your life.

 _*3.Youthful Lust:*_ 
 _2 Timothy  2:22  says "Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart."_ 

4. _*Covetousness and Love of money*_ 
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
 _But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness_ .(1 Timothy 6:10-11).

You must ensure that you flee these four enemies of your soul in order to experience a victorious journey in your walk with the Lord.
 
FLEE from the above and come into the place of Safety in Christ Jesus, our refuge! 

May the Lord release fresh grace upon you to flee in Jesus name.


Bible reading: Genesis 39:7-20.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, help me to flee from all appearance of evil in Jesus name.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
