LESSON INTRODUCTION: Lovers of pleasures are those who have invariably turned sensual pleasures, sensual gratifications, etc. to their god and therefore love and serve them instead of God. These people live for pleasure without restraints and are inordinately concerned with their interests above others. Paul, in 2 Timothy 3:1-4 states, lovers of pleasures as a sign of the last days. He used the Greek word “philodonos” meaning “lovers of pleasures” to emphasise that society will become engrossed and obsessed with the pursuit of their comfort, happiness and pleasure. We shall examine the dangers of sensual pleasures and remind ourselves of how to bring pleasure to God.

LESSON OUTLINE:

DANGERS OF SENSUAL
CREATED FOR GOD’S PLEASURE

LESSON OUTLINE 1: DANGERS OF SENSUAL

PLEASURES

Sensual pleasure is a carnal or worldly pleasure that naturally extinguishes all love and sense of God (2 Timothy 3:4-5). These fleshly lusts portend a lot of threats to its practitioners and those around them.
Some dangers are:

i. The word of God has no root in them because of the cares of this world and love for the pleasures of life (Luke 8:14).

ii. They are careless in the way they live (Isaiah 47:8). This incessant love for pleasures often results in poverty (Proverbs 21:17).

iii. They are sold out to lustful desires (Titus 3:3).

iv. A blind eye is turned to God’s judgement (Romans 1:32).

v. These people will be judged because they take pleasure in sin (2 Thessalonians 2:12; 1 John 5:17a).

vi. It is rather unfortunate that these people are dead while they live (Romans 8:6; 1 Timothy 5:6).

vii. The reward of unrighteousness awaits them (2 Peter 2:13).

Furthermore, those who take pleasure in fleshly lusts are not subject to God’s law (Romans 8:7):

i. Their growth is stunted as they refuse to leave the baby stage and still exhibit other carnal traits like strife, envy, etc. (1 Corinthians 3:1-3).

ii. They are self-gratifiers (Philippians 2:21), we run after mundane and earthly things, and their god is their belly (Philippians 3:18-19; Numbers 11:4).

iii. When every man is eager only for what he can get, and anxious to keep what he has, it makes men dangerous to one another.

CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Share an experience you know or have heard about any danger of sensual pleasures.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: CREATED FOR GOD’S PLEASURE

Revelation 4:11 discloses that we were created for God’s pleasure and we are to give Him glory and honour all the time.

i. One of the ways to give God glory is to acknowledge Him in all that we do (Proverbs 3:6; Jeremiah 9:23-24); when this is done in complete obedience, it is accompanied by prosperity (Job 36:11).

ii. We honour God when we surrender totally to Him (Psalm 37:5; 55:22).

We also give pleasure to God when we do the following:

i. Live uprightly (1 Chronicles 29:17).

ii. Stay away from anything that defiles (Ezra 10:11).

iii. Trust Him (Psalm 36:7-8).

iv. Do His will (Psalm 103:21).

v. Seek to know Him for His greatness (Psalm 111:2).

vi. Fear Him and hope in His mercy (Psalm 147:10-11).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2: How do you bring pleasure to God?

Knowing God book

CONCLUSION: Love God and serve Him passionately; carnal pleasure is enmity against God. Love not the world!

EVALUATION: Mention three ways to give God pleasure.

CLOSING PRAYER: Lord, let my life be pleasing unto You.

ASSIGNMENT: Identify five (5) things people are obsessed with in an attempt to live comfortably (2×5=10 Marks).
