DOUBLE “H” WAR: Holiness vs Hormone (Part 12)

DOUBLE “H” WAR: Holiness vs Hormone (Part 12)

Living right, feeling right

 Adesina A. Abegunde

It is a War not a Pleasure(2)

Beloved, I believe that you are enjoying God’s grace to live right for His glory.

Please carefully ruminate over the following eye-opening words from Proverbs;

“23 For these commands are a lamp,

     this teaching is a light,

and the corrections of discipline

     are the way to life,

24 keeping you from the immoral woman,

     from the smooth tongue of the wayward wife.

25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty

or let her captivate you with her eyes,

26 for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread,

     and the adulteress preys upon your very life.

27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap

     without his clothes being burned?

28 Can a man walk on hot coals

     without his feet being scorched?

29 So is he who sleeps with another man's wife;

     no one who touches her will go unpunished” (Proverbs 6:23-29 niv).

Don’t be naïve to call sex ordinary pleasure, immoral sex has pleasure but it is more than a pleasure, it is a poison of destiny. Sex is a powerful gift for marital fulfillment and a deadly poison outside marriage; a deadly weapon to flee from. Delilah did to Samson what a thousand soldiers could not do to him, and that is exactly what I am talking about.

The book of Numbers chapters 22-25, hold an amazing battle story of how the Israelites could not be defeated physically and spiritually, but got caught up in the self-destroying web of fornication and adultery. Balak was advised by Balaam to use this sexual immorality battle strategy when their entire military and spiritual power failed.

^“21 With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, With her flattering lips she seduced him.
²² Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
²³ Till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare, He did not know it would cost his life.
²⁴ Now therefore, listen to me, my children; Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
²⁵ Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not stray into her paths;
²⁶ For she has cast down many wounded, And all who were slain by her were strong men.
²⁷ Her house is the way to hell, Descending to the chambers of death” (Proverbs 7: 21-27 nkjv).

Seeing the true picture of sexual immorality will help you understand the devil’s devices. The devil is behind every immoral behavior, and John 10:10a revealed his aim, “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy”.

In all of these, just remember that a person in Christ is more than a conqueror. God has given us everything necessary to win this war of immorality and winning, we must.

You will win in Jesus name.

Every error of your past hunting you will have no effect over you again in Jesus name.

Live right, feel right.
