Don't get defiled.

Monday, February 6th.
Don't get defiled.

“And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.”
Genesis 34:2

When you study your Bible, you will discover that sex outside of marriage is defilement. The Bible says in Hebrews 13:4, “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Sex is only honourable in marriage that is why God is against illicit and casual sex.

Yesterday, we learnt that sex is a covenant. Therefore, when you lay with someone according to 1 Corinthians 6:16 you become one flesh with that person. Also, it is not just your flesh that is joined to that person; your soul becomes linked to that person as well. That is what is referred to as a soul tie. Sex outside of marriage is not fun it is defilement, since you will also be carrying both spiritual and family problems from that person. It opens you up to all forms of defilement and spiritual oppressions.

Therefore if you should see a fine woman as a single man, do not get carried away. Do not lust after her beauty in your heart. When you find your appointed one as a man or a woman and you get married to them, stay with them forsaking all others and God will honour that union with His favour and blessings.

Instruction.
Pray for every mature single out there, that God will lead them to their appointed ones, and deliver them from wicked and unreasonable men and women in their path.
