We are going to be looking at a lot things about Intimacy
These punchy truths are collected from KHC Devotional over time from different days. Enjoy!
1. Sex is created by God. God in His Holiness invented it and wanted man to enjoy this height of pleasure
2. God invented a protrusion in man and a receptacle in woman, beyond the incredible bonding, God had pleasure in mind
3. “And Adam knew his wife…” (Gen. 4:1) not his girlfriend. That was how God wanted it from the beginning. In Marriage! Stop playing boyfriend – girlfriend games and tantrums. It’s not scriptural.

4. Any form of compromise points to some selfishness, there is no love in perversion
5. Intimacy remains a balm to married couples, but a killer to singles who lack self control.
6. Intimacy is a marital glue and bonding to couples. Sex before wedding is an illegal bonding with unhealthy soul ties.
7. A true child of God whose mind is renewed will not ask for pre marital sex. He recognises that God is not pleased with such
8. If he makes a mistake, he feels dirty & repents, never to go there again. This is different from a habitual sinner, who continually lives on the iniquity lane.
9. But if he doesn’t feel remorseful, then it wasn’t a mistake. It was deliberate. Something is wrong somewhere
10. A child of God will not be comfortable with repeated sexual mistakes, he will seek to stop and run like Joseph did.
11. Running is the smartest thing to do in an atmosphere of sexual pressure and temptation. Not speaking in tongues!

12. You cannot be more holy or spiritual than God. If God says “Flee,” don’t say “Let’s reason together!
13. So, learn to run away! Use your legs. 5 minutes before there would be sex, both parties would unusually know
14. Iniquity is perpetuated in an atmosphere of secrecy. It takes a closed door to close up your destiny! Open that door!
15. Sex is different from love, or else every prostitute will fall in love with her client
16. Singles who have pre marital sex constantly end up confused and the relationship breaks, because of violating God’s principles.
17. Adultery makes you an adulterated specimen
18. Your body is good enough, you don’t need someone fondling it to accept this fact. No man or woman can affirm you
The second question is how Delilah eventually got Samson despite Samson knowing she planned to deliver him to his foes. You can see it straight now!
Jdg 16:16 KJV And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;
She pressed him with words!
Hullo There, My Name Is Delilah
The lesson is straightforward. If you notice that a person is not the kind to relate to, disconnect immediately. If you make some room, you will be inundated with ‘words!’
Words are like spirits!
You’ll be strained with words the moment you start going on harmless dates with that improper individual. Your spirit will be so troubled that before you know it, you’ll be cooperating with things that can harm you and jeopardize your relationship with God.
Run if he or she is not a child of God! Run if he or she is not your spouse! You will compromise if you allow yourself to be pressured with words! Before you know it, with words, you will let down your guards. How did Satan get Eve? With words. He didn’t need to put a gun to her head.
Married Couples! Do not go silent on each other. Use good words to constantly oil the engine of your marriage!
Hullo There, My Name Is Delilah
Delilah’s second card is seen below:
Jdg 16:15 MSG She said, “How can you say ‘I love you’ when you won’t even trust me? Three times now you’ve toyed with me, like a cat with a mouse, refusing to tell me the secret of your great strength.”
How many times have you done this?
How many times have you heard that from guys or ladies in a courtship requesting pre-marital sex?
“If you truly love me, bla…bla…bla.”
I’ve given you two techniques utilized to ‘complete’ Samson’s fate!
Learn from their experience. For the wise, a single word suffices. God grant you the wisdom and strength to flee every ‘Delilah’ in your life!
My Name Is Delilah. Samson and Delilah’s story never ceases to fascinate me. Samson was called, anointed, and assigned by God. He was among the fortunate few whose birth was announced by an angel! That was the significance of his birth and assignment.
He did, however, have a dreadful weakness: women! Samson had a penchant for women. When he saw a woman, he would utterly lose his bearings. His erection would become his direction.
Jdg 16:1 KJV Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there a harlot, and went in unto her.
When it came to girls, he was uncontrollable! Despite being anointed and appointed, he later proved to be a failure since he refused to address his shortcoming.
He was so disorganized that all it took for him to lose his bearing was to ‘see’ a woman. He once saw a lady and couldn’t speak correctly! “…get her for me to wife!” he exclaimed.
Jdg 14:2 KJV And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
My Name Is Delilah
Samson was the type of person he was. The end result? His eyes had been gouged out, and he had been caught off guard in the middle of his days.
Delilah sought to learn the secret of Samson’s power in order to kill him. Samson was well aware of Delilah’s desire.
Samson tricked Delilah three times about the secret of his power, and each time the Philistines came to murder him, so Samson understood exactly what Delilah’s aim was. Nonetheless, he clung to Delilah and refused to let go.
How many of us are in this situation right now? We find ourselves in an unholy relationship that we know is deeply flawed, but we refuse to let go!
You fall in love with someone who continuously abuses you, yet you do not flee for your life. You fall in love with someone who isn’t in love with you.
You fall in love with someone who does not value you.
You fall in love with someone who beats you up at the slightest provocation, and yet you cling to that connection.
You can see that the person you’re madly in love with is taking you straight to hell, but you still cling to them. You can see that the person you love is preparing to expose you to the world of illegal drug use, but you continue to express your love!
You can tell that the person you met at church is not a true child of God based on what he or she has done to and with you, but you refuse to listen to warnings.
My Name Is Delilah
My suggestion to you this morning is straightforward. Don’t end up like Samson.
You have a gift; don’t waste it by begging God to let you die!
Don’t let it lead to you being delivered right into the hands of your adversaries. Don’t let it get so bad that your spiritual eyes are severed and you can’t see the perfect law of liberty!
Don’t let the brother or sister who has been greatly utilized by God become a pitiful sight to behold.
Escape for your life! If Samson had fled, he could have been rescued. However, his lack of discipline led to his death. Flee! That is what the Bible says. When the Bible says to run, don’t say, ‘Let’s reason together!’
Now, This You Should Do. One of the greatest things every couple should do is pray!
This is so important, and how I wish you can understand the weight of it.
But before I go on, I want to appreciate everybody for the show of love for Father’s Day and all the wishes.
Such a joy that so many lives are being touched by our ministry.
However, as Apostle Paul said, Pray for us and continue to pray for us. Every day, mention us in your prayers. Our ministry is so significant to many lives, many relationships, and many marriages, so many people let me know this is the only devotional they have been using for years… the devil is not going to be happy about that and he would try a lot of things just as he has been trying all kind of stuff.
But he is defeated; continue to pray for us, for our home, family, children, marriage, finances, and ministry.
It has not been easy doing this, writing daily for more than sixteen years strengthening homes and families at no cost. You will never have an idea about the price we have to pay to keep this on. The enemy has tried all kinds of things and attacks, he has attacked us on every level, finances, health, our marriage, and all.
The scripture says we should not be ignorant.
So I am saying like Apostle Paul, Pray for us! Every time you read a devotional, single or married, and you get blessed, remember us in your prayers. Pray for our home.
Pray for the ministry, of which you are a part.
Pray for our finances.
Now, This You Should Do!
1 Thessalonians 5:25 (KJV) Brethren, PRAY FOR US.
2 Thessalonians 3:1 (KJV) Finally, brethren, PRAY FOR US, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
Hebrews 13:18 (KJV) PRAY FOR US: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
Just as you expect the devotionals to come daily and some of you will even chat me up if it’s coming late, can I also expect that you lift us up in prayers?
Somebody once commented offline, that who are these pastors that churn out devotionals every day and it comes in the emails as if they are robots?
Well, we are not robots. We are human, so human. With all the attendant needs and weaknesses!
Now, This You Should Do!
So, continue to pray for us. It would be a pride and spiritual cockiness not to ask for prayers.
In the same vein, never cease to sow words of prayers into your marriages
Don’t stop praying, especially praying in the Holy Ghost.
Keep sowing words of prayers into your marriage.
Keep firing. Never let the fire die.
Stay on the same page.
Avoid strife like a plague.
I pray for you this morning, dear members and partners of KHC, your faith will not fail you in Jesus’ name!
God will keep you!
He will uphold you.
He will honor you!
Your home will be blessed.
Ìpónjú kò ní ba yín! (You will not be frustrated or disconcerted)
E ò ní sì se! (You will not end in an error!)
Aso ègàn kò ní jé tiyín lórúko Jesù (Shame will not be your portion in Jesus name!)
Step Out Of The Rushing Traffic. You’re not married? Cool. Are you single and desperate to marry? That’s not cool. Are you single and praying to God for a nice spouse? Cool.
Are you single and willing to hook up with anyone who comes along? That’s not cool.
One of the most important decisions you must make as a single is to avoid using the haste mode. We frequently become desperate as a result of the stresses we face.
Mothers who wish to modify their status and add “grand” to become grandmothers are unintentionally pressuring you!
“This is my back, eheen, I will use it to carry your baby before I die!”
Does this sound familiar?
These and other factors can cause you to make poor decisions. You must maintain your cool.
Step Out Of The Rushing Traffic
This is the counsel I have for you this morning. Psalms 46:10 (KJV) Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
In your patience, God moves faster. Your patience indicates your agreement with the divine marital goal.
Even if it appears that time is passing, I trust in you, God, to set all things right in your own time. I abandon my timetable in favor of the divine purpose!
Psalms 46:10 (MSG) “Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything.”
Step Out Of The Rushing Traffic
Step away from the congested streets that often lead nowhere. When you get out of that traffic, you’ll realize that God is in control of your circumstance.
As long as you are desperate, you are telling God that He is too slow and that you can figure it out on your own. Allow God to be God!
That’s how it should be. That’s how sweet it is.
Today, may your relationship and marriage be blessed!
My God will keep and strengthen you to carry out His will. You will be the last to laugh.
