CONTACT WITHOUT CONTAMINATION

1Tim5:2 Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters. NLT

I heard about a young Christian fellowship president who has some sisters in the fellowship that read bible into his ears, some pull-off his suit when he returns and he goes for retreat with them on weekends in the hotel. You'll agree with me that purity cannot be in that at all.

Paul was advising Timothy to treat older women as mothers and younger women with all purity. I notice that women are at the receiving end of most perverted acts especially from immoral leaders. In a gathering of believers, sisters flock towards the male leaders either with pure or impure motives. As a Christian leader, the onus lies on you to maintain a very high level of purity with them.

Don't hug, hold hands or shake sisters when you know that the slightest contact would turn you on. As long as it is within your capacity, run from whatever would contaminate your purity. The devil has set the machinery of immorality everywhere in the world even in some churches.

I receive grace to stay pure In Jesus name
