Check For This With Your Lover/Spouse!
A man ought to be responsible. As a single man, how many books have you read or are you reading to prepare yourself? Who is your mentor? Who are you talking to? You need a mentor in your relationship to avoid the tormentors of marriage!
Are you a man who fears God? If you have the opportunity Joseph had, to have sex so easily, will you run? The fear of God is something that cannot be negotiated.
I know a lady whose husband has been abroad for seven years and was lonely. There was this brother who got careless and visited her at home all alone in the name of being her cell leader. First mistake. They sat down to watch a film. Second mistake. Then the film got to some romantic part, and the lady stood up, went inside the room, and started crying because she was sexually moved.
The brother could hear her sobbing. He went to her to console her. Third mistake. You see that was not part of cell leadership. He put his arm around her and consoled her and they ended in sexual sin.
Fast-forward; to a year later, they’ve had several sex romps. Fast-forward six months; the brother was dead! Cold dead! Nobody knew what killed him. It was the lady herself that narrated this to me!
You see, God is not a killer, but the devil is! You need to know that! What would have kept that brother from being trapped is the fear of God!
Go for the fear of God! That is what will keep you from cheating on your wife. It is not because you are a worker, leader, or pastor. There are a thousand and one leaders, workers, and pastors messing up by the day. The only reason you won’t mess up is because you have the fear of God.
The fear of God can be understood. It can be learned. It can be cultivated. You need it to stay faithful. You need it not to pounce on that little girl when you are alone. You need it not to falsify documents. How do understand the fear of God?
I will show you one way, and we will conclude with that this morning. I want you to read it slowly and let it settle in your spirit.
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; THEN SHALT THOU UNDERSTAND THE FEAR OF THE LORD, and find the knowledge of God (Proverbs 2:1-5 KJV)
The more of God’s word you read, study, and mediate on, the more of the fear of God you are going to have!
