TO THE MARRIED AND UNMARRIED
1 Corithians 7 vs 9 says but if you can’t control yourself, go ahead and marry. It is better to marry than burn with lust. I say a big yes to that; he that finds a wife findeth a good thing. To be married is to be joined together in holy matrimony; it is a life contract, once signed no going back; for better for worse, for richer for poorer till death do you part. It is a great thing to be married, it is a thing of joy and gladness. To the married you must please each other, the man should give his wife all that is her right as a married woman and likewise the wife should do the same for her husband. A woman has no longer full right to her own body, for her husband then has his right to it; also the husband no longer has full right to his body for it belongs to his wife. So do not refuse these right to each other. All these are written in the bible. It is biblical and so to the married you must do all these.
However, high percentage of the married nowadays does not please themselves, most men still flirt about and around women outside marriage, which shouldn’t be; as a married either a man or women, you shouldn’t do such or be involved in such; it is a sin of Adultery, GOD’s commandment said thou shall not commit adultery. Also, to the married the man comes from a background, the woman comes from another background, you two should join hands together and face the battle; that is why you are one. Two coming together to become one. To every background, there is a battle to fight; and in a battle you are either victorious or defeated. To be victorious you need to draw nearer to the almighty. He said I will fight for and you shall hold your peace. You need GOD more than ever before, the married must serve GOD; no matter your career, job, kids you must , because most married have no time to serve GOD again, you must create time to serve GOD.
Moreover, to the unmarried the bible said spend your time doing the lord’s work and thinking how to please him. An unmarried can be referred to as a youth, he is someone not yet married. Therefore, the unmarried must be useful for GOD and serve him with all their might and strength. If you are youthful, you must be useful for GOD, but it is unfortunate most unmarried have no sensible time for GOD. They prefer to do meaningless things, things that brings no glory to GOD’s name. As a youth, nothing hinders you from serving GOD so why not serve him. Don’t get too excited about things of this world they won’t last, but rather set your affections on things above, not earthly or worldly things. I end this write up with this: To the married please GOD and your man and woman; likewise to the unmarried please GOD and work for him. Stay blessed and don’t forget to share with others…..
RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...
