Of all the sins that God considers destructive, sexual immorality is the worst. This is the type of sin that is done against the body. It is like a man putting fire under himself and then sitting on it. He will surely be burnt. (1 Corinthians 6:18) says: Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
In Numbers 22 to 24, Balaam the prophet was asked to curse the people of Israel. Each time he opened his mouth to curse them, only blessings came forth. There was no way he could curse the blessed people of God. However, by the time you get to Numbers 25, the people had by themselves walked into a curse by committing fornication and adultery. Anyone who commits adultery has placed a curse on his own head. Proverbs 6:26 says:
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.
Oh, the person may seem so good and difficult to resist because of his or her good looks and tenderness; you had better run. This is what the Bible says about a strange woman: For the lips of a strange woman drop as a 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. – (Proverbs 5:3-5)
Beloved, run away from sexual immorality. If you are married, let your wife or your husband be enough for you. If you are experiencing challenges in your marriage, you should go to God in prayer, pleading for His intervention. See your pastor or a godly counsellor for advice on what to do. In no way should you join Yourself to another because this kind of sin will only lead to death and destruction.
PRAYER POINT: Father, no strange woman (or man) after my destiny will succeed, in Jesus’ name.
