Bible Texts: Pro.5:1-13, Ps.82:6, Matt.6:15, Ezk.27:31, Jn.10:10, Mal.2:14, Matt.19:4-6, Gen.2:18-24, Rom.5:5, Rev.12:11, Ps.51:10, Lk.18:1, Mk.9:29, 1Cor.15:33
Today, let us look at another landmine. It is the landmine of sexual immorality, specifically, adultery.
As the husbandman, you must watch out for this devilish landmine of sexual sin and its attractions. The devil, your adversary, sin and the world will tell you that your wife has depreciated in beauty, value and attraction. They tell you how incompetent your wife has become in the bedroom. These ungodly forces show you how attractive the lady on the other side is. They lead you on a lustful voyage and direct your attention and mind to pornographic sites and adulterous relationships. But they are all lies.
Your wife is as good now as she was the first time you chased and married her. She has not lost her statistics, rather she has improved in the overall score sheet. She has added flesh, brought forth children for you. Whatever the lady on the other side would offer you cannot be compared with what your wife will offer. Your wife is God’s greatest treasure. But why would satan want to lay the landmine of adultery for me. The Scripture provides you the answer.
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb and her mouth is smoother than oil. But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death, her steps take hold on hell. Remove thy way far from her and come not nigh the door of her house. Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto cruel, lest strangers be filled with thy wealth and thy labours be in the house of a stranger. And thou mourn at the last when they flesh and thy body are consumed (Pro.5:1-13)
There is nothing as disastrous as the graphic details God’s word has painted about the consequences of the husbandman falling into the ambush of adultery in the above Scriptures. I want you to please ponder on the Scripture in Proverbs chapter 5 and verses 1 through to 13, and make a quality decision by the help of the Person of the Holy Spirit to flee from all forms of adulterous traps.
Infact, in Proverbs chapter 6 and verse 5, the Bible describes the adulterous woman as a hunter. You may think you are having the best of times with the adulterous woman but the end is always bitter. The ultimate aim of satan, sin and the world in setting the landmine of adultery and sexual immorality for you is to steal your joy and trust currency you have with your wife and children, destroy the goodwill you have built over the years as the good and godly husbandman and eventually kill you spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally (Jn.10:10).
Satan, your adversary hates you. He despises the fact that you are representing God’s nature to your wife and children (Ps.82:6). You must contend for your safety and be watchful as the husbandman because the consequences of adultery and sexually immorality are costlier than the pleasure it offers.
Escape for your life by renewing your mind by the word of God (Rom.12:2, Ps.51:10), pleading the blood of Jesus over your thought and body (Rev.12:11), and choosing the right company and relationships (1Cor.15:33).
