TOPIC ✨ You've Escaped The Corruption In The World✨
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (2 Peter 1:4).
Corruption in our opening verse, means depravity or destruction, when something has been reduced and devaluated, when something is no longer perfect as a result of the inclusion of something foreign or of a lesser value. It’s an adulteration; when something less qualitative has been mixed with a previously perfect material.
The world as we have it today has been corrupted; this isn’t the way God made it to be. It has become depraved, because there’s a law of destruction at work in the world, called the law of death. But the Apostle Paul, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit says, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). You live by the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hence you’ve escaped the corruption that’s in the world.
Our theme scripture says, that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. The Spirit, through Peter, the Apostle, lets us know that the cause of corruption is lust. Lust is craving after something that’s forbidden. The Greek word is “epithumia.”
That was what Eve did in the Garden of Eden; And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise…(Genesis 3:6). It was pleasant to her; she liked it, but there was a law against it. God said, “don’t eat it! Yet she fervently longed for that which was forbidden. The desire after something that’s forbidden is the lust that has introduced the law of depravity into the world.
But thanks be unto God! In Christ Jesus, you’ve escaped the corruption that’s in the world through lust. Whereas sickness, death, darkness, and depravity are rife in the world, health, life, light and righteousness work in you.
Refuse to desire or accept anything that seems to suggest you’re still in the corrupted state or that you’re in lack or still imperfect. Have the consciousness that all things that pertain to life and godliness have been granted you. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for my destiny in you. The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. I've escaped the corruption, the depravity and the decadence in the world through lust. I'm perfected in Christ, in Jesus Name. Amen.

# AFFIRMATIONTRAIN 15TH JANUARY.
I affirm that I am ten times ahead! I am far ahead of any competitor or distractor. The Word of God has infused into me the consciousness of victory, success, and glory. I am a success, I dwell in supernatural health. I am prosperous; I am vibrant, strong and energetic. The life of Christ in me has made me more than a man; a victor forever! God is the One at work in me, both to will and to do of His good pleasure. His power in me is activated to bring forth blessings and miracles today. My life is as a well-watered garden, and I bring forth fruits, in and out of season, because I live by the Word. There's no uncertainty, confusion, or darkness in my life; for the true light shines in my heart. Hallelujah! I am planted on the rock that’s higher than I am, Christ Jesus! Therefore, I am not moved by circumstances. I am a victor forever because Christ is my riddance. He rids me of any trouble and leads me triumphantly from glory to glory. Blessed be God. Hallelujah!
