2Timothy2:22: Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.This word LUST have been misinterpreted by many today, especially youths to mean LOVE. LUST is a feeling of strong desire, especially of a sexual nature while LOVE is a strong affection you have for some one and there are many types of love, but that is not our focus today. We will look mainly at the danger of youthful lust using a young man called Samson as an example.Judges 14:1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines. The first time the bible introduced samson, it was about women if you study the book of judges you will discover in the three chapters that samson story was discussed, their beginning was always about how samson saw a woman. Samson youthful lust was so bad that he started to see other women from his people enemy's camp. He saw a woman from his nation enemy camp, he knew very well he is not to get marry from there, now the reason he gave his parents in interest to marry her was that she pleases me well not because he loves her. As if that was not enough, in Judges 16:1 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her. Oh what a sharp guy,some of you may say, but he was a big disappointment to God, All because of lust. The flesh will always call for pleasure. That is not even all, in the same chapter he still encountered another woman again..Judges 16:4 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. at that point we can also call Samson a harlot all because he allow lust to take the best part of his life and ministry.LUST will always take you out of Gods will and make you unfulfilled in life.If you allow LUST to take root in your life, it will take the grace of God to come out of it. Many people today get so addicted to immorality that their sexual partner can no longer satisfy them, they result to many sexual abnormalities ,thats why many turn to masturbation when there is no one to share their lustful passion with. And also why many married men and women can not just be satisfied with their partner. It all started from their youth. The rate at which sexual transmitted infection among the youth is increasing is alarming . Homosexuality and all set of youthful lust is on board now. On the television, media every where you see these things. Youthful lust is not just limited to sex but in other areas of life also. But friends no matter how far you have gone in sin today God can still give you a chance and if you are on the line of joining, my friendly advanced to you is flee. And for those of you into relationship please define the relationship you are in and if after months or years of been there it have no positive impart on you then is time to say good bye and welcome Jesus into your life.Do you need help please send me an email @ iyoriobhemelvin@Gmail.comAm here for you God bless you.
