THERE’S THE NEED TO GUARD SEX SACREDNESS: FOR IT ENHANCES THE COVENANT OF GRACE IN MARRIAGE!
 
“Drink WATER from your OWN CISTERN, And RUNNING WATER from your OWN WELL” Proverbs 5:15/NKJV.
 
“HONOUR MARRIAGE, and GUARD THE SACREDNESS of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a FIRM LINE against CASUAL and ILLICIT SEX” Hebrews 13:4/Message Bible [MSG].
 
SEX they say – is it of God? YES – IT’S OF GOD! It’s a godly, pleasurable act in enhancing and enacting marital relationships and to strengthen the covenant of grace in marriage. It’s intent is more than just for pleasure and procreation purpose only; and knowingly or unknowingly – it has DIVINE purpose and implications that affects our very LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Hence don’t fall into the hands of God’s ANGER which could be a SCARE in all your act of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:
 
“It is a FEARFUL and TERRIFYING thing to fall into the HANDS of the living God [incurring His judgment and wrath]” Hebrews 10:31/Amplified.
 
For any to go accessing SEX outside the MARITAL CONTEXT for CASUAL and ILLICIT SEX, is not just only about it been a SIN, it thus hindered the ACT to ENACT the DIVINE plan, purpose and pursuit of God in one’s life in the grace; and it thus switched off the communion of an effectual walk with God in all that pertains to one in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; and it makes one vulnerable, PREY and defenceless in everyway, if you intend to have God as your shield and defence in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
IT’S A CHOICE IN LIFE TO SAY YES OR SAY NO TO SEX GRATIFICATION OUTSIDE MARRIAGE [MARITAL SACREDNESS]
 
TO SAY YES IS TO GIVE IN FOR SELF GRATIFICATION AND FACE THE CONSEQUENCES – ARE YOU TRULY READY?
 
TO SAY NO TO SELF GRATIFICATION IS TO HAVE DIVINE INTENT IN ALL YOUR DOING IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING – DON’T YOU LOVE IT?
 
If you intend achieving the DIVINE INTENT of God therefore, then FLEE from all its appearances at any form or formats and PATIENTLY WAIT for your MARITAL SET TIME in grace; and if married, DIGNIFY your marital covenant of grace and ABSCOND from extramarital acts and abuses. COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN CHRIST JESUS – IN PURITY OF HEARTS, THOUGHTS, PRAYERS AND IN ACTS.
 
HENCE I SAY: SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“HONOUR MARRIAGE, and GUARD THE SACREDNESS of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a FIRM LINE against CASUAL and ILLICIT SEX” Hebrews 13:4/Message Bible [MSG].
 
“Now, getting down to the questions you asked in your letter to me. First, Is it a good thing to have sexual relations? 2-6 Certainly—but only within a certain context. It’s good for a man to have a wife, and for a woman to have a husband. SEXUAL DRIVES ARE STRONG, but MARRIAGE is STRONG enough to CONTAIN them and provide for a BALANCED and FULFILLING sexual life in a world of sexual disorder. The marriage bed must be a place of mutuality—the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband. Marriage is not a place to “stand up for your rights.” Marriage is a decision to serve the other, whether in bed or out. Abstaining from sex is permissible for a period of time if you both agree to it, and if it’s for the purposes of prayer and fasting—but only for such times. Then come back together again. Satan has an ingenious way of tempting us when we least expect it. I’m not, understand, commanding these periods of abstinence—only providing my best counsel if you should choose them” 1 Corinthians 7:1—6/Message Bible [MSG].
 
“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL. 23 And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-24.
 
“For the GRACE of God has APPEARED that offers salvation to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this PRESENT AGE, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. ENCOURAGE and REBUKE with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you” Titus 2:11-15/NIV.
 
“Drink WATER from your OWN CISTERN [of a pure marriage relationship] And FRESH running WATER from your OWN WELL. 16 Should your springs (children) be dispersed, As streams of water in the streets? 17 [Confine yourself to your own wife.] Let your children be yours alone, And not the children of strangers with you. 18 Let your FOUNTAIN (WIFE) be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity], And rejoice in the wife of your youth” Proverbs 5:15-18/Amplified.
 
“Drink water from your OWN well— share your love only with YOUR wife” Proverbs 5:15/NLT.
 
“Therefore, if anyone CLEANSES himself from these things [which are dishonorable—disobedient, sinful], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified [set apart for a special purpose and], useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. 22 RUN AWAY FROM YOUTHFUL LUSTS—PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS, FAITH, LOVE, AND PEACE with those [believers] who call on the Lord out of a PURE heart. 23 But have nothing to do with foolish and ignorant speculations [useless disputes over unedifying, stupid controversies], since you know that they produce strife and give birth to quarrels” 2 Timothy 2:21-23/Amplified.
 
“But the one who is UNITED and JOINED to the Lord is ONE spirit with Him. 18 RUN AWAY FROM SEXUAL IMMORALITY [in any form, whether thought or behavior, whether visual or written]. Every other sin that a man commits is OUTSIDE the body, but the one who is sexually immoral sins AGAINST his own body. 19 Do you not know that your body is a TEMPLE of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]?” 1 Corinthians 6:17-19/Amplified.

PRAY FOR YOUR NATIONAL CAUSE

By Leave a Comment

PRAY FOR YOUR NATIONAL CAUSE: WE ARE CALLED TO PRAY FOR LEADERS AND LEADERSHIP!

“For the KINGDOM is the Lord’s, And He RULES over the NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.

It’s high time that we PRAY in God’s presence into our national LEADERS for leadership before they become RULERS on rulership mandate.  Let us PRAY for good GOVERNANCE whenever and wherever there’s – Election, Politics, Politicians and in other forms of Leadership: it’s of scriptural injunctions that we PRAY for all who are in position of leadership and authority and that include also whenever and wherever there’s an upcoming elections into such leadership for governance and management of national resources in such a Place in our nations.

“I EXHORT therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be MADE for all men; 2 FOR KINGS, AND FOR ALL THAT ARE IN AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE in the SIGHT of God our Saviour. . .” 1 Timothy 2:1-3.

Let’s not be so cumbersome with the political election campaign and manifestos than about GOVERNANCE. It’s just as some people will burn much energy PREPARING for the WEDDING of a day rather than PREPARING for the MARRIAGE of a lifetime itself; hence many marital breakdowns today as in many political sphere breakdowns in many nations of the world.

Politics as in any leadership and management of human resources is not a dirty game as such as some may presume, but it’s some of the people involved and engaged in it, that do make it a seems dirty and unhealthy acts of governance just as in any other profession where they are some whose actions and failures that brings down such context to its knees. When people are carried away with their dirty crafts and acts as politicians with their uninformed politics than the very act of leadership in governance, it breeds failure and setbacks in leadership and governance; it also creates rage with the governed as we can see in many places of the world and within our communities today. Only by a righteous cause can any nation experience a pure leadership of justice and equity to all.

“Righteousness EXALTS (elevates) a nation: but sin (BAD GOVERNANCE) is a reproach (DISGRACE) to any people” Proverbs 14:34/Emphasis Mine.

“When the righteous (RIGHT GOVERNANCE)  are in AUTHORITY (LEADERSHIP), the people REJOICE: but when the wicked (BAD GOVERNANCE) beareth RULE, the people MOURN” Proverbs 29:2.

Until LEADERSHIP allowed themselves to be GOVERNED by the Chief GOVERNOR [Jesus Christ], and allows Him to govern through them, as He is, who rules among the NATIONS, such will only do politics with its dirty craft and will not give a healthy leadership in governance to the people. Hence many governmental nations are at war today with their dirt and dirty, uninformed and infested policies upon the governed. They have to keep making rules and laws that have not worked based on human limitations.

“For the kingdom is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among the nations” Psalms 22:28.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein” Psalms 24:1.

Let’s pray for the ACTS OF GOVERNANCE than the politics of it, that He – Our God, who GOVERNS and RULES among the NATIONS, may LEAD us and be in CHARGE over our National leaderships for us to have and enjoy, a quiet and peaceful nations through informed lead leadership and not uninformed rulers that craves after rulership of their subjects.

By Leave a Comment

EXPERIENCING AND ENSURING – THE WORK AND THE EFFECT – OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS IN CHRIST JESUS: THESE ARE PEACE – QUIETNESS – ASSURANCE – AND JOY – IN THE HOLY GHOST!

“For the KINGDOM of God is not MEAT and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in THESE things SERVETH Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:17-18.

The SYNERGY to STAND – being ASSURED – and ENSURED – of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus – is by EXPERIENCING and ENSURING the WORK and the EFFECT of – God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, of a truth I PERCEIVE that God is NO RESPECTER of persons: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that feareth him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35.

There’s nothing as beautiful, lively, lovely, gracious and graceful to know that every step of one’s journey, there’s God’s ENSURING, ENRICHING and ASSURING INSURANCE – ALL the WAY. This is the graciousness and gracefulness of LIVING IN THE POSSIBILITIES and TRIUMPHANT DEFAULT in the CONSCIOUSNESS of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. For RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS in every way in the kingdom. You can boldly lift up your hands in WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP unashamed, unafraid, without intimidation and guilt, and genuinely free within because YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus and not by yourself and or making. Amen.

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation: but SIN is a reproach (Setback, Mayhem, Shame) to any people” Proverbs 14:34 (Emphasis Mine).

And you need to know, understand and  be aware that there’re the WORK of RIGHTEOUSNESS and the EFFECT of RIGHTEOUSNESS in one’s life as a consequence of what Christ Jesus had done in our redemption.  And it’s in our living in the CONSCIOUSNESS of the WORK and EFFECT of RIGHTEOUSNESS that enables one’s path to be ORDERED, ENHANCED and have the ASSURED and INSURED POSSIBILITIES and TRIUMPH in all the way through the year with God.

“For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

So, get on the board and follow the PATH that enables you to DO and WORK the RIGHTEOUS ACTS so that you can experience and ensure the fullness of God who is no respecter of persons as men would do. For YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen. You Must Take A STAND Of Being ENSURED AND ASSURED Of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS In CHRIST JESUS.

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, That SHINES brighter and brighter until [it REACHES its full strength and glory in] the PERFECT day” Proverbs 4:18/Amplified.

I pray that as you stand on this GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL act of RIGHTEOUSNESS, the Lord God will PERFECT, MATURE, ESTABLISH and SETTLE you in the EXALTED place in Christ Jesus precious name, Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“For Christ is the END of the LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of THE LAW, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of FAITH speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine heart that God hath RAISED him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:4-10

“Every GOOD gift and every PERFECT gift is from ABOVE, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is NO VARIABLENESS, neither SHADOW of turning. 18 Of his OWN will BEGAT he us with the WORD of truth, that we should be a kind of FIRSTFRUITS of his creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be SWIFT to hear, SLOW to speak, SLOW to wrath: 20 for the WRATH of man WORKETH not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God” James 1:17-20.

It’s high time that we PRAY in God’s presence into our national LEADERS for leadership before they become RULERS on rulership mandate.  Let us PRAY for good GOVERNANCE whenever and wherever there’s – Election, Politics, Politicians and in other forms of Leadership: it’s of scriptural injunctions that we PRAY for all who are in position of leadership and authority and that include also whenever and wherever there’s an upcoming elections into such leadership for governance and management of national resources in such a Place in our nations.

“I EXHORT therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be MADE for all men; 2 FOR KINGS, AND FOR ALL THAT ARE IN AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE in the SIGHT of God our Saviour. . .” 1 Timothy 2:1-3.

Lets not be so cumbersome with the political election campaign and manifestos than about GOVERNANCE. It’s just as some people will burn much energy PREPARING for the WEDDING of a day rather than PREPARING for the MARRIAGE of a life time itself; hence many marital breakdowns today as in many political sphere breakdowns in many nations of the world.

Politics as in any leadership and management of human resources is not a dirty game as such as some may presume, but it’s some of the people involved and engaged in it, that do make it a seems dirty and unhealthy acts of governance just as in any other profession where they are failures that brings down the such to it’s knees. When people are carried away with their dirty crafts and acts as politicians with their uninformed politics than the very act of leadership in governance, it breeds failure and setbacks in leadership and governance, and create rage with the governed as we can see in many places.

Until LEADERSHIP are GOVERNED by the GOVERNOR himself through them, He who rules among the NATIONS, such will only do politics with its dirty craft and will not give a healthy leadership in governance to the people. Hence many governmental nations are at war today with their dirt and dirty, uninformed and infested policies upon the governed.

Lets pray for the ACTS OF GOVERNANCE than the politics of it, that He – Our God, who GOVERNS and RULES among the NATIONS, may LEAD us and be in CHARGE over our National leaderships for us to have and enjoy, a quite and peaceful nations through informed lead leadership and not uninformed rulers that craves after rulership of their subjects.

“For the KINGDOM of God is not MEAT and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in THESE things SERVETH Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:17-18.

The SYNERGY to STAND – being ASSURED – and ENSURED – of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus – is by EXPERIENCING and ENSURING the WORK and the EFFECT of – God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I PERCEIVE that God is NO RESPECTER of persons: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that feareth him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35.

There’s nothing as beautiful, lively, lovely, gracious and graceful to know that every step of ones journey, there’s God’s ENSURING, ENRICHING and ASSURING INSURANCE – ALL the WAY. This is the graciousness and gracefulness of LIVING IN THE POSSIBILITIES and TRIUMPHANT DEFAULT in the CONSCIOUSNESS of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. For RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS in every way in the kingdom. You can boldly lift up your hands in WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP unashamed, unafraid, without intimidation and guilt, and genuinely free within because YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus and not by yourself and or making. Amen.

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation: but SIN is a reproach (Setback, Mayhem, Shame) to any people” Proverbs 14:34 (Emphasis Mine).

And you need to know, understand and be aware that there’re the WORK of RIGHTEOUSNESS and the EFFECT of RIGHTEOUSNESS in one’s life as a consequence of what Christ Jesus had done in our redemption.  And it’s in our living in the CONSCIOUSNESS of the WORK and EFFECT of RIGHTEOUSNESS that enables one’s path to be ORDERED, ENHANCED and have the ASSURED and INSURED POSSIBILITIES and TRIUMPH in all the way through the year with God.

“For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

So get on the board and follow the PATH that enables you to DO and WORK the RIGHTEOUS ACTS so that you can experience and ensure the fullness of God who is no respecter of persons as men would do. For YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen. You Must Take A STAND Of Being ENSURED AND ASSURED Of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS In CHRIST JESUS.

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, That SHINES brighter and brighter until [it REACHES its full strength and glory in] the PERFECT day” Proverbs 4:18/Amplified.

I pray that as you stand on this GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL act of RIGHTEOUSNESS, the Lord God will PERFECT, MATURE, ESTABLISH and SETTLE you in the EXALTED place in Christ Jesus precious name, Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

(that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine heart that God hath RAISED him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:4-10

“Every GOOD gift and every PERFECT gift is from ABOVE, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is NO VARIABLENESS, neither SHADOW of turning. 18 Of his OWN will BEGAT he us with the WORD of truth, that we should be a kind of FIRSTFRUITS of his creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be SWIFT to hear, SLOW to speak, SLOW to wrath: 20 for the WRATH of man WORKETH not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God” James 1:17-20.

SEX SACREDNESS

By Leave a Comment

SEX SACREDNESS: IT ENHANCES THE COVENANT OF MARRIAGE!

“Drink WATER from your OWN CISTERN, And RUNNING WATER from your OWN WELL” Proverbs 5:15 NKJV.

SEX they say – is it of God? Yes it is of God. It’s a godly, pleasurable act in enhancing and enacting the covenant of marriage. It’s intent is more than just for pleasure and procreation purpose only. Knowingly or unknowingly, it has DIVINE purpose and implications in LIFE AND GRACE. Hence don’t fall into the hands of God’s ANGER which could be a SCARE in all your doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

“It is a FEARFUL and TERRIFYING thing to fall into the hands of the living God [incurring His judgment and wrath]” Hebrews 10:31 Amplified.

In accessing SEX outside the MARITAL CONTEXT is not just only about it been a SIN, it thus hindered the ACT to ENACT the DIVINE plan, purpose and pursuit in one’s life; and it switched off communion of an effectual walk with God in all that pertains to one in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; and it makes you vulnerable, PREY and defenseless in every way if you intend to have God as your shield and defense.

IT’S A CHOICE IN LIFE TO SAY YES OR SAY NO TO SEX GRATIFICATION OUTSIDE MARRIAGE:

** TO SAY YES IS TO GIVE IN FOR SELF GRATIFICATION AND FACE THE CONSEQUENCES – ARE YOU TRULY READY?

** TO SAY NO TO SELF GRATIFICATION IS TO HAVE DIVINE INTENT IN ALL YOUR DOING IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING – DON’T YOU LOVE IT?

If you intend achieving the DIVINE INTENT of God therefore, then FLEE from all its appearances at any form or formats and PATIENTLY WAIT for your MARITAL SET TIME in grace; and if married, DIGNIFY your marital covenant of grace and ABSCOND from extramarital acts and abuses. COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN CHRIST JESUS – IN PURITY OF HEARTS, THOUGHTS, PRAYERS AND IN ACTS.

HENCE I SAY: SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Honor marriage, and GUARD THE SACREDNESS of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a FIRM LINE against CASUAL and ILLICIT SEX” Hebrews 13:4 (Message Bible – MSG).

“Now, getting down to the questions you asked in your letter to me. First, Is it a good thing to have sexual relations? 2-6 Certainly—but only within a certain context. It’s good for a man to have a wife, and for a woman to have a husband. SEXUAL DRIVES ARE STRONG, but MARRIAGE is STRONG enough to CONTAIN them and provide for a BALANCED and FULFILLING sexual life in a world of sexual disorder. The marriage bed must be a place of mutuality—the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband. Marriage is not a place to “stand up for your rights.” Marriage is a decision to serve the other, whether in bed or out. Abstaining from sex is permissible for a period of time if you both agree to it, and if it’s for the purposes of prayer and fasting—but only for such times. Then come back together again. Satan has an ingenious way of tempting us when we least expect it. I’m not, understand, commanding these periods of abstinence—only providing my best counsel if you should choose them” 1 Corinthians 7:1—6 (Message Bible – MSG).

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL. 23 And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-24.

“For the GRACE of God has APPEARED that offers salvation to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this PRESENT AGE, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. ENCOURAGE and REBUKE with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you” Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

“Drink WATER from your OWN CISTERN [of a pure marriage relationship] And FRESH running WATER from your OWN WELL. 16 Should your springs (children) be dispersed, As streams of water in the streets? 17 [Confine yourself to your own wife.] Let your children be yours alone, And not the children of strangers with you. 18 Let your FOUNTAIN (WIFE) be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity], And rejoice in the wife of your youth” Proverbs 5:15-18 AMPLIFIED.

“Drink water from your OWN well— share your love only with YOUR wife” Proverbs 5:15 NLT.
