Lust is the mother of all sexual sins. If you can overcome lust, you will be able to overcome fornication, masturbation, adultery etc. According to Pastor Bisi Adewale Lust is a burning, passionate, and over-powering desire to satisfy one’s sexual appetite. Lust is selfish, wicked and destroys one’s spiritual life faster than any other thing.
