"It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s wife! And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you." 1 Corinthians 5:1-2 NKJV

Can I reveal a secret to you? NOW is the time to follow God's word—don't delay any longer. When are you going to start doing what he says in his word? In 2110? The moment to act on God's teachings is NOW. 

Each day, remind yourself of His expectations by reading the Scriptures or recalling Bible verses and put them into practice. 

The Bible clearly instructs us to avoid sexual immorality. God desires purity in every aspect of our lives, including our sexual conduct. For men, that means engaging in sexual relations only with their wives and for women, only with their husbands. 

To say no to sexual immorality means abstaining from sex before marriage and focusing on having solely your spouse after marriage. 

There is freedom. You don't have to be trapped. God can easily assist you in overcoming any ungodly thoughts or habits you may have formed by offering you new insights, techniques, and a transformed mindset. As you work on personal growth and apply these principles, you'll cultivate new, righteous (godly) habits that bring you joy.

Overcoming, changing, forming these new habits all begins with saying NO to (rejecting) what is wrong (before God) and then establishing new lifelong godly practices. Why would you depart from what is so good? What God offers us is SO good. Godliness is so good. Living a godly life for the God you chose brings immense goodness. In that realm, you uncover great and mighty things that you've never known before. It's eternally beneficial. See? You choose to stay; you don't walk away. That's how God got me. There isn't anything better than God's goodness. I was forever amazed.

"What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."

James 2:14-17 NKJV 

Faith alone cannot save you. Faith without works is dead.

In this life, you need to prove to God that you believe by doing what his word says every day. Faith without such works (you doing what the word of God says) is dead. 

Faith in God is a seed that must be nurtured with deeds. It requires you to step out of the realm of intention and into the realm of action. Each day presents an opportunity—an act of kindness, a moment of selflessness, a hand extended to lift another. These are the works that breathe life into faith, proving its vitality in the eyes of God and the world.

It is not enough to declare your faith; if your faith exists without actions, it is dead.

Merely believing in God and His word without putting it into practice means you lack the necessary works and will not inherit the Kingdom of God and I am sure you're not ready for that. Are you following what the word of God instructs? Do you have actions to show for it? Reflect on this daily. If your answer is no, take steps to ensure that you embody those works every day.

"The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it."

Proverbs 10:22 ESV

Are You Thinking of Giving Up?

Always think bigger instead. The Bible verse above is the truth. So how could you possibly give up? There is hope. There is bigger. 

Cultivate new ideas and take decisive action.

God will make you rich through your new ideas, make a way, create new amazing opportunities and give you new extraordinary outcomes as you take decisive action fully trusting and believing him, that he does what he says in his word and he is not a liar. And your result is going to be the good promise of God, what he said becoming your reality. Forevermore. You will keep your blessings. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet

And a light to my path."

Psalm 119:105 NKJV

God's word serves as a guide for our steps and illuminates our journey. Always.

All the right answers you seek are in God's word.

Read his word and let God speak to you.

He will tell you the right things, always.

He will consistently provide the wisdom you need.
