SEXUAL IMMORALITY
Fornication
David Abankwah
(SERIES: Day 2)

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality;
-1 Thessalonians 4:3 | NKJV

The first sexual immorality that will be talked about today is fornication. Fornication is consensual sexual intercourse between two persons not married to each other or before marriage. The first marriage happened in the Garden of Eden when God brought Eve to Adam for the purpose of assisting man’s vision (Genesis 2:18-25). God didn’t allow Adam to have an affair with Eve before their marriage but today, it seems the way of the Lord has been turned upside down. Fornication is not an avenue for the test of sexual vitality and fertility viability. Any man living with a woman he has not married to or a woman whom the man has not paid her dowry is still fornication.

The fact that you have lived so many years together or have even had kids from that relationship, does not make it marriage. It is still fornication! One of the highest form of theft is to live with a lady you have not paid her bride-price. A non tither is a robber so is a man who has cohabited a woman. No one goes out to buy something he has not paid money or in kind for, but now, certain women have become so ‘cheap’ that, they give their womanhood away without passing through the rightful process of marriage. The highest order of cheapness is to give yourself to a man you are not married to. Fornication is not wisdom! Fornication is not smartness!

Men, listen carefully! A woman is not a testing bay you can sexually test before marrying her. A consecutively tried item, loses its value!!! If you want to know the sexual vitality and fertility of someone you want to marry, then God is the best person you have to ask and not through fornication. A guy who can deceive and sleep with you before marriage will defile your matrimonial bed some time to come when you marry him. Because, the same way he deceived you before, is the same way he will deceive other ladies after your marriage into adultery. Today, being a virgin has become old-fashioned because it seems the world encourages one to have a fornication record.

Fornication has become cancer which is rapidly affecting many believers especially the youth, because many of them who engage in fornication, don’t know its spiritual and physical implications. Fornication destroys the body (1 Corinthians 6:18). You make evil covenants with all sorts of people when you engage yourself in fornication with them (1 Corinthians 6:15). Fornication invokes evil spirits into your life (Revelation 18:2). Fornication brings many curses and diseases. (Deuteronomy 28:15-68). Fornication brings about unwanted pregnancies, diseases, and abortions. Fornication also brings about infertility, hurts, wounds, and disgrace. Beware, fornication kills!!!

•| Prayer Diary |•
¹As you refrain from tempting others and being tempted by people into the sin of fornication, lift up prayers onto the Lord to help you have self-control over your libido in the name of Jesus Christ. ²Lift up prayers for spiritual sanctification from all spiritual evil forces that have covenants of sexual immoralities with you in the name of Jesus Christ.
