Part 4 - Money, Sex & Power - The Good and Bad

By: Pastor 'Deji Adewale

Genesis 2:24-25 – “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed”

Issues around money and/or sex account for the majority of marital problems in the world today.

Unfortunately, this fact is also true in the church. A lot of the problems stem from difference in attitude towards money, difference in financial habits and orientation, lack of trust in the area of finances, lack of control over the appetite & urges for sex, and most importantly, lack of using God’s wisdom.

As true Christian believers, we must handle money and sex the way God says we should. Most of the problems we have are direct results of neglecting God’s ways and instructions.

The Bible has an answer to every issue in marriage and we must recognize that His com-mandments are for our own good. The gift of sex is one of the wonderful gifts God has given to humanity when properly utilized according to Biblical injunctions.

Sex, by God’s standard is only expected during the confines of marital relationship. Outside of this, sex becomes sin to God and thereby not a blessing.

God created sex as a powerful force to bring a husband and wife together and to keep them together.

The grace to work & build together, according to God’s word and commandments, will fall upon us all, as we pursue our marital destinies, in Jesus Name.

You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed.
Shalom

Flee From Unholy Contacts

What is wrong with two people sleeping together or living together if they really love each other and are open and honest?"  "Not sex with everybody, but what about sex in a particular relation-ship?"

 "What if we have sex, enjoy it, and discover it makes us love each oth-er all the more"  "Are you suggesting I am some kind of prude and should say "no" to sex just because I am young and single?"

 "Haven't times changed?"  "Isn't a lot of this campaign about HIV/AIDS just scare tactics and not relevant to those of us who are in straight crowds?  Good questions deserve honest, straight answers.

All around us are a thousand voices trying to squeeze us into the world's mold. The ques-tion is; will you stand out above the mass of humanity and become one of the priceless few who have the courage and conviction to say 'No'? Notice what Joseph says in Genesis 39:9. There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
As Christians, we need to know what the Bible says about sex outside of marriage.
God instructs us not to have sex with anyone other than our spouse. Exodus 20:14. It is clear that God forbids sex outside of marriage. When we obey God, He is pleased. He honors our obedience by blessing us.

You will have good success this 2016.

Remain blessed.

Shalom.
