SEXUAL PLEASURE : HOLY AND A GIFT FROM GOD


March 17, 2023

 

 Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

" She is a loving deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you always. May you always be captivated by her love." Proverbs 5:19 NLT


" So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Genesis 1:27 NKJV     Lovemaking in a marriage is ordained of God . It takes place between a married human male (husband ) and  human female (wife) according to God's original design in the Scriptures (Gen.1:27)  It is for procreation and for bonding between a husband  and his wife . It is sacred before God and should not be treated with levity .      Lovemaking should be at the forefront of discussions between a husband and a wife . The more we talk about a thing the more interesting and profitable  it appears to be. Faith in the ability of sex as a bonding and pleasurable agent comes from hearing words about it . Complaining too often  destroys the desire for sex. This is a major cause of infidelity. Married couples are to engage in sex-talk daily to keep passion alive 


   Satan understands this principle of the power of talking about sex so much that the entertainment industry is full of sex-talk and  visuals celebrating infidelity. Entertainers get paid heavily for promoting sexual perversion . This is against God's plan for our lives ( Galatians 5:19) and they who engage in such will give account before God (Galatians 5:21) 


   Sexual perversion is a strong tool used by the enemy to destroys Christian ministries and families .


   Married persons who talk less about sexual pleasures and fantasy are easily drawn by strangers who are not ashamed to speak about their sexual pleasures. Social media has made this easier for couples to flirt. 


  Highly spiritual persons are highly sexual . The message of the gospel is about love , including love for one's spouse , this triggers an increase for sexual pleasures and  if not readily available,  the temptation to seek for it outside marriage presents itself .Do not be a victim. Do not be too spiritual or busy to engage in sex talk with your spouse ,your safety depends on it .        


     The bible gives us an example " You are very beautiful, so desirable!  You are tall and slender like a palm tree, and your breasts are full.  I will climb that tree and cling to its branches. I will discover that your breasts are clusters of grapes, and that your breath is the aroma of apples.  Kissing you is more delicious than drinking the finest wine. How wonderful and tasty!  My darling, I am yours, and you desire me.  Let's stroll through the fields and sleep in the villages.  At dawn let's slip out and see if grapevines and fruit trees are covered with blossoms. When we are there, I will give you my love." Song of Songs 7:6‭-‬12 CEVBible  Sexual pleasure promotes good health among married persons. That is what grapes means in this scripture.


  Those who forbid marriage and sex- talk are in error (1Tim4:1-3) Priests, bishops and church officials are advised to get married ( Lev.21:10a,13, 1 Tim 3:2 ) Forbidding to marry and celibacy can result in terrible sexual perversion and humiliation of the priesthood. ( ROM.1:27; 1Cor 7:9, Gen.2:18) Christian communities should make marriages easier for persons of marriageable age.


    Women should be treated with respect and dignity not as sex toys ( 1Thes4:4-5) this is important for national stability and progress. The most unstable and poorest parts of the world are regions with no regards for their womenfolk. 

In marriage men and women are joined as one flesh (Eph5:31, 1Cor6:16) Sexual pleasure is a gift from God ( Prov.5;18-19) and should not be used to reward  or punished ( this opens doors for marital infidelity) (1Cor 7:3) . If a partner has lost sexual appetite chances are that he or she is frustrated by their spouse using sex as a bargaining tool. Healing comes from talking about your earlier pleasurable experiences and spending quality time with each other .


Prayer : Heavenly father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Ghost and power to love and preserve my family in Jesus name.
