SEX SACREDNESS: ENACTING THE COVENANT OF MARRIAGE!
Sex they say – is it of God? Yes it is of God. It’s a godly, pleasurable act in enacting the covenant of marriage. It’s intent is more than just for pleasure and procreation purpose. However, knowingly or unknowingly, it has DIVINE purpose and implications in LIFE AND GRACE. Hence don’t fall into the hands of God’s anger which could be a scare all your life.
In accessing Sex outside the marital context is not just about or called SIN only, it thus hinders the ACT to ENACT the DIVINE plans, purposes and pursuits in ones life and the effectual walk with God in GRACE and Life in everyway if you intend to have God as your defence, otherwise defenceless.
IT’S A CHOICE OF LIFE: IT’S EITHER YOU GIVE IN FOR: SELF GRATIFICATION OR FOR DIVINE INTENT IN ONES LIFE IN GRACE AND GODLY LIVING.
If you intend achieving the DIVINE INTENT therefore, then FLEW from all its appearances at any form or formats and PATIENTLY WAIT for your marital set time in grace; and if married, dignify your marital covenant of grace and abscond from extramarital acts and abuses. COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN CHRIST JESUS IN PURITY OF HEARTS, THOUGHTS AND IN ACTS.
THEREFORE: SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
“Now, getting down to the questions you asked in your letter to me. First, Is it a good thing to have sexual relations? 2-6 Certainly—but only within a certain context. It’s good for a man to have a wife, and for a woman to have a husband. Sexual drives are strong, but marriage is strong enough to contain them and provide for a balanced and fulfilling sexual life in a world of sexual disorder. The marriage bed must be a place of mutuality—the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband. Marriage is not a place to “stand up for your rights.” Marriage is a decision to serve the other, whether in bed or out. Abstaining from sex is permissible for a period of time if you both agree to it, and if it’s for the purposes of prayer and fasting—but only for such times. Then come back together again. Satan has an ingenious way of tempting us when we least expect it. I’m not, understand, commanding these periods of abstinence—only providing my best counsel if you should choose them” 1 Corinthians 7:1—6 (Message Bible – MSG).
“Honour marriage, and guard the sacredness of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a firm line against casual and illicit sex” Hebrews 13:4 (Message Bible – MSG).
