BED UNDEFILED

Text : Heb 13:4 ISV 

 *Let marriage be kept honorable in every way, and the marriage bed undefiled. For God will judge those who commit sexual sins, especially those who commit adultery.* 

Having looked at the need to keep your marriage honorable, today we shall be  looking at the other  important issues raised in the verse. It says that marriage bed must be kept undefiled.

Marriage bed is actually beyond the bed you lie on, it does  include the sexual intercourse between married couples. Hence, when a partner joins himself or herself with/to another person in any form of sexual engagements, that means that marriage bed has been defiled. 

Marriage bed can be defiled either by a single or married person. When marriage bed is defiled while one is yet to be married, that is called *_fornication_* . When it is defiled in marriage, that is called _*adultery*_ 
The two are sins not just to God but to oneself and one's partner(in marriage).

 *A man who goes after another man's wife is simply defiling  two beds. And these two beds consist of four persons.* (Himself, his wife, and the other couple). This defilement does not just end with these four persons, it extends to their children(and perhaps generation to come). 1Cor. 6:16. *Adultery and fornication are  self-destructive sins* Prov. 6:32.

I once met a man who keeps having trust issue with his wife. He literally would monitor this woman anywhere she goes. This man did unthinkable things for lack of trust for the wife. This gave me serious concerns as this woman could not enjoy her marriage. 

One day, the man opened up to me why he has been finding it difficult to trust his wife. The man told me a gory story about how he saw his mother with another man in the very act.. Interestingly, I saw the old woman(the man's mother). She is now old but the seed she has sown in her younger age is now bearing negative and evil fruits while she is still alive.

This man is pained, he has passed the pain to the wife, and the whole of his children always witness the scene between him and their mother. 

When God gives you instruction, it is not because He profits primarily from your obedience. It is simply because of His love for you and the huge gain you make from obedience to the Lord. 

There are many ways people now defile marriage bed. So many christians are are involved in this. The Lord is ready to give you help and deliverance today. He wants to clean you up. The Lord wants to renew your marriage wine. Are you willing to allow Him?

 *BIBLE READING* :

 Ephesians 5: 22-33.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, forgive me, and cleanse me of all defilement I have brought into my marriage. 

2. Deliver me and my household from every evil I have brought into my life and family through my fornication/adultery.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
