DELICIOUS POISON

October 10, 2014

Years back, when watching movies and scenes involving kissing and other sensual related activities were being shown, the TV screen would go dark or the TV station would start showing a flower symbol. Those days, “concubinism” was a coded thing. But things have changed now so much that people talk about fornication and adultery like they would get paid for it, both the young and old and surprisingly, believers are not left out forgetting that adultery opens the door to sickness, destruction and death.

Many people wonder why 1 Cor 6:18 would say, “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.” Let’s go through the story of David. He was a shepherd boy that God lifted up. He was doing so well until the day he dipped his hand in sexual immorality and that made him commit murder. As a result, David said he was so afflicted with sickness that his strength failed, his eyes grew dim and people couldn’t touch him or go near him (Psalm 38:10&11). HIV/AIDS couldn’t have been worse.

We all read in the Bible that king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom (2 Chron 9:22) but he died dejected, sick and sad. I am sure hypertension must have been one of his cases because how could a man cope with 700 wives and 300 concubines. Because of immorality, Solomon lost his kingdom and died a nobody. Sir/ma, adultery robs a man of God’s glory. May I tell you categorically that adultery isn’t after everybody but after the people with great and colorful future before them which is why you have to be very cautious and never thread the path.

Always remember that whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. (Prov 6:32-33).

Your body is the temple of God. Be sensitive!
