SEX SACREDNESS: IT ENHANCES THE COVENANT OF MARRIAGE!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

SEX they say – is it of God? Yes it is of God. It’s a godly, pleasurable act in enhancing and enacting the covenant of marriage. It’s intent is more than just for pleasure and procreation purpose only. 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 in all your doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It is a FEARFUL and TERRIFYING thing to fall into the hands of the living God [incurring His judgment and wrath]”<\/em> Hebrews 10:31 Amplified.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In accessing SEX outside the MARITAL CONTEXT is not just only about it been a SIN, it thus hinders the ACT to ENACT the DIVINE plans, purposes and pursuits in ones life; and it switches off communion of an effectual walk with God in all that pertains to one in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS; and it makes you vulnerable and defenceless in everyway if you intend to have God as your shield and defence.<\/span><\/p>\n

IT’S A CHOICE IN LIFE TO SAY YES OR SAY NO TO SEX GRATIFICATION OUTSIDE MARRIAGE:<\/span><\/p>\n

**\u00a0 TO SAY YES IS TO GIVE IN FOR SELF GRATIFICATION AND FACE THE CONSEQUENCES. ARE YOU TRULY READY?<\/span><\/p>\n

** TO SAY NO TO SELF GRATIFICATION IS TO HAVE DIVINE INTENT IN ALL YOUR DOING IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you intend achieving the DIVINE INTENT of God therefore, then FLEE 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, PRAYERS AND IN ACTS.<\/span><\/p>\n

HENCE I SAY: SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Honour marriage, and GUARD THE SACREDNESS of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a FIRM LINE against CASUAL and ILLICIT SEX”<\/em>\u00a0 Hebrews 13:4 (Message Bible – MSG).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“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\u2014but only within a certain context. It\u2019s 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\u2014the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband. Marriage is not a place to \u201cstand up for your rights.\u201d 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\u2019s for the purposes of prayer and fasting\u2014but only for such times. Then come back together again. Satan has an ingenious way of tempting us when we least expect it. I\u2019m not, understand, commanding these periods of abstinence\u2014only providing my best counsel if you should choose them”<\/em> 1 Corinthians 7:1\u20146 (Message Bible – MSG.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL. 23 And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will DO it”<\/em> 1 Thessalonians 5:21-24.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“For the GRACE of God has APPEARED that offers salvation to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say \u201cNO\u201d to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this PRESENT AGE, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope\u2014the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. ENCOURAGE and REBUKE with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you”<\/em> Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
