Stay Away From Her

Spread the love

Main Scriptures: Pro.5:1-4

More Scriptures: Pro.7:7, Pro.6:32-33, Pro.4:25

My son, pay attention to my wisdom, listen carefully to my wise counsel. Then you will show discernment and your lips will express what you have learned. For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey and her mouth is smoother than oil. But in the end she is as bitter as poison, as dangerous as a double-edged sword (Pro.5:1-4) NLT

One of the weapons satan is using against the glorious heritage of husbands is extra-marital affairs. So many husbands have fallen into this trap and consequently end in shame and dishonour. Many more husbands do not see anything wrong with adultery. Others claim it is part of growing up as a husband. But let me sound a note of warning here to every husband reading this devotional. Adultery is a sin and it has no respect for any husband who is careless. Now there are two dimensions to this oppression of the devil. Firstly, it is an act in your heart and secondly, it is act with your body. And Jesus warned about it when He said that when you look at a woman lustfully in your heart, you have committed adultery and in the same class as those who have actually committed the act (Matt.5:27-28). So, either way, the sin of adultery is both a thought and an act.

As the head of the family, you must also understand that your adversary, satan, is crafty. He wants to disgrace you. He hates you and the truth that you are a good and godly shepherd. So, you must be watchful.  Let us consider some of the dangers of adultery. So now my sons, listen to me. Never stray from what I am about to say. Stay away from her! Don’t go near the door of her house! If you do, you will lose your honour and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved. Strangers will consume your wealth and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labour. In the end, you will groan in anguish when disease consumes your body (Pro.5:8-11). How do I stay away from the strange woman and cleave to my wife? Firstly, you must admit that adultery is a sin, no matter what anyone calls it. Secondly, you must admit that God dislikes it.  Thirdly, flee from all appearance of the woman and lastly continue to plead the blood of Jesus Christ.
