LOYALTY TO YOUR SPOUSE

December 08, 2016 · Lanre Oyeleke · 4 views

Mal2:15 Didn't the LORD make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are his. And what does he want? Godly children from your union. So guard your heart; remain loyal to the wife of your youth. NLT

A woman reported her husband's escapades to me sometimes ago, the man told her wife that he can't do without playing games because it is normal for men to do that even in his family. Some men would tell you that it would be boring to eat just one soup always and that it is good to taste variety for satisfaction( referring to sexual intimacy with other women). Jesus didn't make a mistake when he called this generation an adulterous one.

God is expecting you as a man to be 100% faithful to your wife; personally I discovered that marriage doesn't eliminate temptation from the opposite sex, infact, some ladies like them married, that's their spec. In the scripture above, God fore-warned that men should guard their heart. The greatest sexual organ is the mind, that is where all sexual thoughts and vices comes from, if men would mount guard over their heart with the word and prayer, they'll overcome.

There is nothing like 'I just can't help it' as some would say. Loyalty isn't easy with the arms of the flesh but by the Spirit of God. Also, you must learn to control your ear gate and eye gate as those two gates determine the content of the mind and subsequently our actions. If you find yourself around a lady that is tempting or seductive, kindly run away from her. If you're a boss in the office and it is within your capacity to relieve her of her job, please do. Set holy boundaries and maintain pentecostal distance; don't be too sure that you can handle intimacy with a woman that isn't your wife.

Over-confidence in sexual matters kills.

Action point

I receive grace to remain faithful to my spouse In Jesus name.
