SEXUAL IMMORALITY
David Abankwah
SERIES: Day 7
“ ‘Do not approach a woman to have sexual relations during the uncleanness of her monthly period.
-Leviticus 18:19 | NIV
In God’s infinite wisdom, He created man and woman to be distinct. Even though both of them have their uncleanness (man having his nocturnal emissions and woman having her menses), they go through, the period of women is routine. God has created fallopian tube (either of the pair of tubes that carry the egg from the ovary to the uterus) in the woman, that is responsible for discharging mature ovum from the ovary so that it can fertilize with the sperm of a man to form a baby. But when the egg is ready and there is no sperm to fertilize it, it passes through the uterus and flows out as blood.
And this is normally called menstruation. There is a spiritual implication that has on the woman. In this ‘state’, the woman enters into a period of uncleanness even though that is part of her development as a human. That is why certain strange behaviours occur during these times of their lives when the woman does not compose herself spiritually by getting near to God. This is also the time when the kingdom of darkness too are alert because they see it as an opportunity of possessing her at will because of her state of ‘uncleanness’. This is one of the things that makes women very vulnerable to evil spirits more than men.
In this period, God expects the husband to excuse her wife for a while until the period is over. God made a woman in such a way that, it is not every time you need to have sex with her. If you engage in any sexual activity with a woman in her menses, you stand the risk of spiritual uncleanness. Because the one who joins forces with a harlot is also a harlot, because the two have become one flesh (1 Corinthians 6:16). So if the woman is unclean during her menses, the man is also unclean when he joins forces with her in any sexual activity. It is sexual immorality to have sex with a woman in her menses.
The Bible has stated categorically clear in Leviticus 18:19. This doesn’t need to be debated upon. Just allow your woman to rest for a while and gain momentum after her menses. She is always there for you as a wife. But there are certain men who are filled with lust. They don’t care whether you are in your menses or not. They just can’t wait. These are the men who married just because they were not able to control their libidos when they were single. We don’t marry to ‘kill’ lust. So if you are not able to curb your libido when you are single, it will only heighten when you marry. Many men will go to hell by just breaking this law.
Prayer Diary: As I refrain from any sexual activity with my wife in her menses, Lord, please give me self-control always to wait patiently
