SEXUAL IMMORALITY

David Abankwah

SERIES: Day 10

There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

-Deuteronomy 23:17 | KJV

Prostitution is the act or practice of engaging in promiscuous sexual relations especially for money. When God took the Israelites from Egypt, He gave them strict commandments not to practice the ordinances, statutes, values or customs of the Egyptians. Usually, the environment we live in has a way of influencing us in a way and God knew it. If your parents used to practice prostitution when they were young, it is likely that the family altar or generational curse can inflict you too. That is why a child is likely to engage in sexual immoralities when his or her parents did the same when they were young.

Even when there is no evil spirit to hand you that baton, it is in the bloodline. As the old sage goes that, blood is thicker than water, so it is when certain genes are passed on from the parents to the offsprings. You didn’t think you could be a prostitute, but a certain lecturer told you that before you could pass his exam, he needed to spend a night with you first. When you confronted your friends with this issue, they told you that, ‘Use what you have to get what you want.’ Now, you can’t live without spending nights with rich men for money. Young lady, what did your boss tell you you should do before he could employ you?

After the interview, he called you to meet him at a certain hotel, right? And you accepted right? I see! You are a believer, but you don’t mind getting favours by engaging in prostitution. Hmmmm. You can’t tell me there is no work in this world you can’t find. It is because you are so lazy! Qualification is not a matter. Get your hands dirty through hardworking, the right way. Don’t let the devil provide shortcuts for you which will only lead you into destruction. You are not more beautiful and handsome than the people who are hawking in traffics and who are gallivanting under the heat of the sun everyday.

Now, it seems you are enjoying yourself with all the luxuries around, but the day HIV/AIDS greets you and make itself comfortable in the living room of your body, is the day you will remember the Word of the Lord. That is the day you will regret forsaking the Lord. Today, when you ask many people the work they do, they can’t tell, just because they can’t voice out they practice prostitution. One aspect that is making prostitution so rampant is the way of dressing. The way you dress indecently to expose your body tells it all that you are a high-end prostitute!

Prayer Diary: Lord Jesus, I thank you for your Word today and I know I am guilty. I take full responsibility of my acts of prostitution and I repent from them all in Jesus name, Amen
