James 5:16
God gave you
this sexual drive and He made you in His own image. So why do so many people
and the even church shy away from sexual matters? Sometimes they don’t even
talk about it, they even cover it up. No one can manage your sexuality better
than your father in heaven who gave it to you. Your sexuality can be managed
for better results if you listen to God’s guidance.
John 8:
10-12. To manage your sexuality, you
have to talk to someone. This person must be God fearing and trusted. This
because your sexual drive is very strong and it can override you at any
time. So don’t be ashamed talk to
somebody today and God will help you in Jesus name.
Sin thrives in
secrecy, so come out and talk to your pastor or counsellor about your sexual
sin. Confess yourself to one another because this is when you will be free and
healed from your sexual sins. This sexual sin kills your spiritual life and it
brings low self-esteem. You will start feeling guilty like Adam and Eve in Genesis
3, where they were hiding from God. The challenge sometimes is after you
confess your sins; Satan keeps attacking you with the feeling of guilt. There
are those who have no conscience and engage in sexual sin because their
conscience has been seared. This is because they are in the habit of doing
things that are sexually immoral and they have made up their mind not to
change. For all those that are born again and Spirit filled they battle with
shame, so they hide to commit sexual immorality. So as believers we shy away
from the truth and sexual talks.
Satan also uses propaganda tool, to destroy our self-esteem
and creates fear in us. He speaks to us and puts guilt in us. Romans 8:1 says; ‘THERE
IS therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk
not after the flesh, but after the Spirit’. Access your life
through God’s word and not your guilt and your past. We were all born sinners,
so when you are in Christ Jesus all
things are passed away. A young woman got married and after 10 years she did
not have any child, satan began to remind her of her past. That she had aborted
so many times and had lived a rough life in the past that is why she is
suffering now in marriage without a child. On the other hand anther young woman
got married and she had a clean past but she had no children too after 5 years
of marriage. I have heard stories of ladies that live wayward lives and God
still forgives them. God blesses their family and gives them children. Wake up,
stand up, if Satan tells you about your past, you also remind him about his
past. Remind him about how Jesus Christ defeated him on the cross, remind him
that Jesus Christ defeated death and rose on the third day.
It may be fornication, masturbation, lesbianism,
homosexuality, voyeurism (Voyeurism is the sexual interest in or practice of spying on people engaged in intimate behaviors, such as undressing, sexual activity, or other actions usually considered to be of a private nature) and pornography e.t.c. You may have a past Satan has a
past too, Jesus Christ finished him on the cross. God is not out to run you
down, He is out to make you a better person.
1 John 1:7-9. If we say we have no
sexual sin, we deceive ourselves. The reason nobody is talking about sexual sin
is because the church is full of hypocrites. The people who brought the
adulterous woman before Jesus Christ were also sinners. They had their own sin,
and yet they tried to stone another person.
The church today is filled of hypocrites, may God have mercy
on us all. Amen

A Woman Caught in Adultery
John 8:1-11 (New Living Translation)
8 Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, 2 but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. 3 As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.
4 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”
6 They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. 7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” 8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.
9 When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”
11 “No, Lord,” she said.
And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
God bless you and do have a blessed day.
