Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – The Deceitfulness Of Lust

Paul EnencheTopic: The Deceitfulness Of Lust [Seeds of Destiny 20 November 2019 Devotional]

The flesh will pose to you the immediate and transient gratification and cover up the ultimate, colossal and monumental loss.

SCRIPTURE: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts. – Ephesians 4:22

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The flesh will pose to you the immediate and transient gratification and cover up the ultimate, colossal and monumental loss.

Lust is a strong and uncontrolled desire to have someone or something. Lust is also the craving for the forbidden.

The craving for that which is forbidden is highly deceitful. It may appear beautiful but it is the highway to disaster. The apple may look ripe but inside, it may be worms. It may taste sweet but it has the capacity to set your teeth on edge. It will promise you good but end you in a mess.

The flesh is the major tool of lust. It may say to you: ‘if you drink a little alcohol you will feel nice; if you have immorality with that person you are not married to, you will enjoy it.’ The truth is, the flesh will pose to you the immediate and transient gratification and cover up the ultimate, colossal and monumental loss that has no recovery.

Beloved, in order for you to reach where God wants you to reach in life, you must subject your body to the firm control of the spirit. Placing profit above pleasure is what guarantees a future both on earth and in eternity.

Today, I break every hold of the spirit of lust in you in Jesus’ Name.

REMEMBER THIS: The flesh will pose to you the immediate and transient gratification and cover up the ultimate, colossal and monumental loss that has no recovery.

ASSIGNMENT (S):

  1. Repent of any manifestation of lustful character in your life – be it the lust for money, the lust of the flesh or for materialism.
  2. Put away any object of lust or anything and anyone that may suggest lust to you.
  3. Always be in control of your flesh.
  4. Pray in the Holy Ghost always to fortify your spirit against the lust of the flesh

PRAYER: Lord, I appreciate You for Your Word to me today. Deliver me Lord from the spirit of lust and lustful desires. Clothe me with the garment of holiness and purity, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Iniquity corrupts mentality, sin corrupts sense. Culled from 365 Wisdom capsules by Dr Paul Enenche.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Grace to walk in victory over the activity of the flesh is released upon you in Jesus’ Name.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
