Climb Her Not, Spread Not The Legs. One of the greatest deception tools that the devil has thrown to this generation is that a combination of unrepentant habitual sinful lifestyle and service unto God is cool.
Listen to me, this will never work. It doesn’t matter how anointed you think you are, let’s even say you have raised the dead, and you can go into trances at will, if you are living in habitual sin, it would be like a man sitting on a rocking chair, there is movement but there is no progress. There is sweat, but nothing to show for it. There is drama, but no reward from God.
For young men and ladies, NYSC members, and young adults who are serving in some capacity as an executive or leader, stay away from compromise. Don’t use your trusted position to defile people you are meant to oversee spiritually.
My goal this morning, is not to inject some fear into you, for God has not given us the Spirit of fear, but at the same time, there is a fear that comes from God, it is called Godly awe, it is called the fear of God! If the fear of God overtakes you as you read, then so be it, for that is part of the commission God gave to me, to raise a standard, even in the midst of a perverse and compromised generation.
Never in the history of the Homo Sapiens, have there been so many intense attacks from the hordes of hell in the areas of sexuality!
You are married. You are in adultery or you are single, and you are in adultery with a married man. He calls you on phone and you still pick up his calls? You are not ready!
Your pastor is sleeping with you. You claim you don’t know what to do. Yet after service, you go and sit down in his house, when his wife is not around? You are not yet ready like that.
You are the president of your fellowship. A young beautiful lady has accommodation issues, and yet you ask her to come and stay in the Secretariat where you can easily desecrate her? When did you become a property agent? You shouldn’t immobilize yourself through carelessness.
Why would you take a house help who is “crudely” beautiful when you know your weakness and you know your wife is not always around? You just hung yourself by doing that! Climb Her Not, Spread Not The Legs!
Sometimes, young wives don’t have an idea what their husbands are going through in terms of sexual pressures. They think because he speaks in tongues every day, it is taken care of. You want house help, by all means, they brought one village girl to you, your husband says “No way” for no reason, and you are still arguing she must stay? Don’t you know the moment he set eyes on her, he already knew he would “commit?”
The intense pressures and temptations you face daily are orchestrations of hell to tamper with your destiny, but the good news is that he cannot force you!
Decide for God, and you will fulfill your destiny. Always remember this, Joseph ran from sin and fulfilled destiny. Samson stayed with sin, and died, his ministry unfulfilled!
Before you climb on that girl, before you spread your legs for that guy, always remember, it is about your future, your destiny, and your glory!
There are people you sleep with for seven minutes and there is delay and strange troubles for the next seven years. There are strange hands you allow in your blouse and you battle some sickness for the next few years! Climb Her Not, Spread Not The Legs!
Wherever you find yourself this morning, know that the grace of God and His mercy are still at work, and you are never too far gone! You can start afresh in Him this morning, now, and your life will never remain the same again!
CONFESSION I will not be cut off in the midst of my days
PRAYER Lord, keep me in your strength and in your power in Jesus name

How To Find A Spouse Without Disappointment. It is wise to find God before you try to find a spouse! It is good that God becomes your Lord, before you seek for a spouse. Your relationship with God will stablise your relationship with your lover. There should first be a lover of your soul before a lover in your soul. There is a space in your heart that only your maker can fill. If you try to put a lover in that spot, you will eventually frustrate that lover and yourself.
There is one of God’s promises that says when you look for Him, you will find Him.
It is a sure promise, because God’s word will never fall to the ground. His word has never been known to fail, and it will never fail. His word will always come to pass!
How do you look for God? How do you look for God in a pragmatic day to day sense?
Now, understand this, the first order of things is to seek and find God before you try to seek a spouse! The foundation that will sustain a successful relationship that will lead to marriage is knowing God, by seeking Him daily and consistently. There is nothing as powerful as that! This is How To Find A Spouse Without Disappointment
13″When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. ” Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, 14 I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed. “God’s Decree. “I’ll turn things around for you. I’ll bring you back from all the countries into which I drove you “–– God’s Decree––” bring you home to the place from which I sent you off into exile. You can count on it (Jeremiah 29:13-14 Message) The phrase in the above verses says, “…Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.”
Now, that is awesome! King James Version says “…when you search for me with all your heart…”
I want to challenge you this morning, as a spokesman for Jehovah, that it is time you get serious about finding God more in your life. It is something you have to prioritize! When you do that, search for God with all your heart, and really get serious with God in all your endeavours, God gives you a promise that sounds too good to be true, “You will not be disappointed!”
Finally, that scripture says, “I will turn things around for you!” King James Version says “I will turn away your captivity!”
That is only what God can do, not a spouse! That is a job for your Jehovah, not your lover. Marriage cannot turn things around for you, only God can. So you see, that the earlier you settle the God factor in your life, the more you are getting ready for settling down in marriage!
In the ensuing days, weeks, and months, I want you to dedicate time for God in your life, give it some priority, and as God said in His word, I make bold to say that you will not be disappointed! This is How To Find A Spouse Without Disappointment
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I will search for God with all my heart
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Pray that God will strengthen you to search for Him the more
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness (Proverbs 8:17-18 KJV)
ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY Step up your time of devotion with God
Two Ways To Love Your Spouse. Sally is in love. Butterflies are flying in her tummy, her heartbeat accelerating, and there are twinkle little stars on her face always! George is floating on Cloud 9. He is crazily in love with Sally. The mere sight of thinking about her would elicit goose pimples all over him.
So, Sally and George are in love! How would they take care of each other?
The Johnsons are married, and somehow the butterflies have decided to rest, the heartbeat is stable and the stars have hibernated. How do you take care of each other or probably rekindle this love?
Here are some ideas for singles and married couples.
Two Ways To Love Your Spouse 1. Communication
Stay in touch. Words are powerful; use them to your advantage. As singles, don’t let your courtship season be a memory of fights, quarrels, and arguments. Be mature with each other. Avoid being incommunicado.
Make it a rule; we must keep talking. That can be a powerful principle to live by as a married couple as well. The devil feasts on silence; assumptions will persist and complicate the issue because assumptions are the lowest form of knowledge.
What is a man looking for? Respect! What is a lady looking for? Love!
If you learn to communicate this, there will be less tension!
Singles should however note that it is wrong to say you are showing respect while you are disobeying God’s injunctions! More aptly put, you are not showing respect to your fiance by cooperating with him when he asks for sex!
2. Spirituals
Oh, pastor, what has this got to do with being romantic? It’s got a lot to do! Somebody said, in order to be romantic, read the book of Romans! Lol…
Well, candidly, your spiritual life as single or married can determine the success of your relationship or marriage.
There are two elements to your spiritual life: reading God’s word and praying to God. If you can make this regular and consistent, some order will come into your relationship/marriage.
As you read, you will come to understand God’s thoughts and plan for a good relationship or marriage.
As you pray, God will give you ideas, resources, and energy to take your relationship/marriage to the next level. Here are Two Ways To Love Your Spouse
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I have the wisdom of God to the needful
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Pray that God will teach and instruct you in the way to go
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye (Psalms 32:8 KJV)
ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY Discuss the issue of mentorship
Who Is The Right Woman For Marriage? George really loved Sally, beautiful and charming, but he felt her height wasn’t what he wanted. Deborah was spiritual and prayerful, but he felt, she wasn’t spiritual enough. Comfort was actually tall and but he felt she was too muscular because she was a Kungfu enthusiast. His brain taunted him with what could happen if a quarrel ensued. George had many ladies as close friends, his issue was not who to marry, but who to marry out of the numerous ladies who swarmed like bees around him.
George was simply confused. Would he marry like this? What exactly do you look for in a lady?
Yesterday, I started writing about what to look for in a godly woman. Let’s look at it more.
Who Is The Right Woman For Marriage?
2. She has a mentor or Pastor over her.
She is submissive to spiritual authority. If she is not submissive to spiritual authority, there may be issues afterward with submission.
When a lady has issues with parents, pastors, Uncles, and so on, the people are not the problem. The problem is that the lady has issues with authority figures. She doesn’t know what it means to submit. Probably she didn’t grow up with her dad, so she learned early to be independent.
Unless she renews her mind and decides to unlearn and learn, there will be serious issues in marriage.
Who Is The Right Woman For Marriage?
3. She is not a strange woman.
Only strange women go after men and look for sex! They are not even interested in the money that comes with it, they just wanted sex!
A good lady will want to keep her virtue!
At this junction, I must mention that there are genuine cases where it is not as if the lady in question is promiscuous, but she has been introduced to sex and sundries at a tender age and she has grown up sexually active. Esteem has been battered and sex is seen as the price to pay to get love.
To such ladies, sex is no different from any other thing. While this experience is not her fault, the reality is that she is not supposed to stay in this clime. Her background is not enough reason for her back to remain on the ground. With the help of God, she is to clean up and stay away from every compromise!
Sin shall not have dominion over you! It means you can be in control with the help of God’s Spirit. You see, the seed of God in you is life, and it doesn’t go together with a sinful lifestyle! If you find yourself, in this scenario, I want you to cry to God and ask for His help. He will send help to you! Or you can call me on phone, and we will deal with this perverse spirit that seeks to destroy your destiny!
I pray that God grants you more understanding.
