SEXUAL PURITY NOT A LOST CAUSE

From my earlier post on how to harness sexual drive and maintain a healthy relationship during the cause of your redeemed soul.
  Why is maintaining sexual purity so vital to the life of a Christian?
   Moral purity is not a devious plan to eliminate enjoyment from a Christian’s life, though Satan deceptively threatens such a loss.
  Instead, purity is God’s infinitely wise foundation for true happiness and long-lasting family relationships.
  Today’s society is obsessed with sex, The question Christians must ask: How should we as followers of Christ, living in an increasingly secular and a moral society, behave concerning sexual activity?
Certainly not as atheists and agnostics behave! One way to recognize a Christian today should be by his or her sexual purity. Yet it is difficult to maintain purity in a culture obsessed with sex and permissiveness toward all forms of sexual expression that difficulty makes sexual purity a good test of who really is a follower of Christ. It takes more than the best effort of natural humanity to maintain sexual purity. It takes the redeeming and sanctifying work of God in our lives. Take for instance the case of this young man, who woke up dressed and heading to work, on his way he sees explicit billboard of naked girls, getting to office, conversation he meets his colleague talking about the girl he just bedded with last night, at the comfort of his office, he tuned in to listen was on airplay only to hear advert of drugs on safe sex. Is not easy for the mind itself.
  Paul knew the power of sexual drive in all individuals, he knew that provocative dress, public gossip about sexual orgies, and sexually charged humor were strong incitements to lust and sin. And he knew that sexual temptations came no matter what a person’s situation might be. So to the married he said, “Do not deprive each other [of intimate sexual relations] except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control” (1 Corinthians. 7:5). Paul knew that withheld sexual relations could lead a spouse into temptation and sin.
  Our society is pretty inhibited when it comes to expression of sexuality outside of certain approved circumstances or doctrine, but this doesn’t changed the fact that we are to procreate. (2 Timothy 2:2,1 John 2.16).
On my research at some point I got to understand that along the stages of maturity, people tend to make sexual friends and not a lasting friendship that dies too soon, ending in either ways leaving one heartbroken. Reinvigorate your relationship; decide how you want to stay pure in the relationship you keep.

No Predefined Rules for life

Believers don’t claim to be followers of Christ and deliberately practice sexual immorality.
“I can hardly believe the report about the sexual immorality going on among you—something that even pagans don’t do. I am told that a man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother. You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship… and hand him over to Satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyed and he himself will be saved on the day the Lord returns. Your boasting about this is terrible. Don’t you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough?” (1 Corinthians 5:1-6)
A desire for closeness or intimacy without hang-ups or baggage, stronghold of Satan that is over people even with souls that are redeemed to our saviour. (James 1:3, Ephesians 5:3, John 12:6).
Mankind opened up their heart to get fill with greed and fantasies about sex, be careful because your thought can cast you into a lot of troubles, spiritually and physically. Several cases I have seen where;
• Driven by lust and sexual fantasy, a pastor and his wife engage in threesome sex with their 20-year-old nanny. The pastor rationalizes his behavior by citing the multiple wives of biblical characters.
• For years a young man corrupts his mind with sexual fantasies. He eventually has sexual relations with three underage girls and goes to prison.
• A father of three, married for 19 years, has a 17-year affair with his secretary, who is his wife’s best friend. For years they vowed to God and to each other to end the relationship before it destroyed everyone in their lives.
• A young wife leaves her husband and two children to work in a strip club.
• The pastor who is caught with Internet pornography on his office computer.
• The wife who feels lonely and abandoned finds comfort in the arms of another man.
These case seen here aren’t just ordinary, if you are already a new creation realities. Pastor Daniels A.O(CGC) once said, “If a man can boldly commit immorality out seen, then there is a problem somewhere”.
  You might want to ask why then do we feel this sexuality or bodily function?  The truth is “Our bodies are sexual channels, our minds construct our sexual appetites, that is why we feel sexuality”
  It’s easy to look around and see
how lust has polluted modern culture pornography, human traffic and other sexually-related businesses are prevalent across the globe. Media uses sex both to entertain and to sell everything from cars to shoes. Sex is everywhere we turn. But misguided sexual desire can have far reaching consequences. How does lust affect how you live” If you are ensnared In a sinful habit relate to lust or have suffered sexual abuse.

God can heal you and give you a new Life. Seek the help of a close friend or family member Or try to find a caring church or ministry that can help you in your situation. There is help and hope available.
“I will not teach my kids about safe sex because there is no such thing.” By Matt Walsh
Snippet:
  I am too saved to make mistake, sexual perversion and lust.(1 Thessalonians 4:2-8). Keeping your thought clean at all times and asking God to give you protection and believe that He will. (1 Corinthians 6:19, Psalm 91, Isaiah 40:4, Ephesians 6:12)

Reflection: I am a child of the Most High and my Temple belongs to God and I am covered by the blood of the lamb.
