HOW TO HEAR FROM GOD

HEAR GOD’S VOICE.

God speaks all the time (Rev2:7, 3:22) but unfortunately, we do not hear him most times. To hear means to receive information and immediately respond to it. Someone tells you a very funny joke and you immediately respond with hilarious laughter because you heard him. If you didn’t laugh, you would or may have been listening but did not hear. Response is the proof of hearing.

We need to hear from God. Matt. 4:4. Man …. lives by every word that has been spoken and continuous to be spoken by the mouth of God. God wants us to dwell in (ever surrounded) and walk in (2 Cor. 6:16), living epistles …..2 Cor 3:2-3.

A)        To know God’s pattern for your life. God builds your ministry with fragments of your life experiences and your personality. Paul was a teacher of the law before becoming a teacher of grace. Peter was a fisher of fish before he become a fisher of men.

B)        No two ministries are the same.  No two ministries are the same. It is foolish to seek to do it like someone else. Seek to discover your pattern. Heb. 8:5b. God shows everyone a different pattern. Joyce Meyers does not need to work miracles and yet multitudes are reached. This is different for Benny Hinn, Reinhard Bonkke. Rev. Mike teaches with prophetic anointing which is different from others. Discover yours.

You are unique, be unique in your praise, teaching, evangelism etc .GOD does not always win soul the same way. There are so many ways to catch a fish. A wise evangelist or student etc. that needs you and is ready to receive you”

           

HINDERANCES TO HEARING GOD. GOD’S eyes are moving to and fro to help his servants. The heart is the centre of 1) emotions or affections. 2) the motives and (3) the intentions.

A)   AN IMPURE AND IMPERFECT HEART: this include

1)                 Worldly affections 1 Jn 2:15 we keep ungodly relationships. This

                  blocks our ears against GOD’S word.

2)                 Impure motives: our motivations is some times evil like the prophet

Baalam. Numbers 23.It is wrong when we are motivated to do GOD’S work for money, fame and prestige.

3)                  Wrong intentions Acts5 Anannias and sapphira had the wrong

intentions. Their plan was not to give but keep the money to themselves.

B)    HARDNESS OF HEART: Set aside a day out of the week to soften your heart. I have done this for over twenty years and it has been of tremendous blessing to me as it makes you very flexible to opinions and changes. Heb.4:7 say not harden your heart.

1)     unforgiveness stops  GOD’S VOICE

2)     forgiveness bring back GOD’S voice in our lives.

3)      Habitual sinful life stops GOD’S voice .you must be born again and not be a mere Christian practitioner. Rom8:16, 1john5:10. the unregenerate  heart

      Blocks out GOD’S voice for such a heart is controlled by satan the anti-

christ. Rom8:6-7 the unregenerate mind has intellectual agreement but does not and can not obey a preacher of the gospel due to spiritual deafness and blindness James 2:19 GOD demands saving faith and not intellectual agreement because it is possible to know that you are saved. Rom10:9,10TLB.

Test: Pray this prayer from your heart: lord Jesus I confess you are my lord I believe you bore my sins to calvary’s cross to save me from sin. I believe you rose from the dead and are enthroned at the father’s right hand in heaven.

            I trust you and your blood alone to be the full payment for my sins. I renounce and turn from my sins. I receive your holy sprit to bear witness with my spirit that I am a child of GOD. All this I ask in the name of my lord Jesus Christ amen.John10:27, Eze36:27 tlb.

DISOBEDIENCE STOPS GOD’S VOICE: Faith means to be obedient actively to what GOD says. Therefore faith comes by hearing the word of god that is hearing and obediently responding to what god has said

Pride is the greatest enemy to obedience it is a demonic spirit that repeatedly says “what will people say”, it comes with shame whenever you are ashamed the pride is standing near by prov.11.2. Paul says, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ” Rom. 1.16 you need to say the same every day and cast out that demon called pride and be free to express your gifts in Jesus name pray: I cast out of my mind the fear of man in Jesus name., I receive boldness to declare God’s counsel in Jesus name. I confess that I have the spirit of boldness and I am not afraid of what man will do to me.

Our carnal minds thinks if we try what God is saying and fail, what will the people think, my friend won’t understand me. My social club will not agree with what God is telling me to do.

All these thoughts have their root in the fear of man – PRIDE. It hinders men from fulfilling their calling.

PRECONCEPTIONS HINDER OBEDIENCE: God does not always follow the same pattern, one moment Jesus heals by speaking, another moment he lays his hands and another time he mixes up mud and saliva to heal. In 2 kings 5. Naaman nearly lost his miracle due to preconception .Most people like Naaman would want to instruct the man of God on how to fulfill the work of ministry forgetting that every man of God has his unique pattern of ministry for God has his unique pattern of ministry. For Elisha, Naaman could only be healed by bathing in the dirty river Jordan.

Preconception is deeply rooted in pride the spirit of preconception says “I know everything I can conceive things before they happen- as they will happen” and whenever things do not happen according to our plan we abandon church and become resentful and angry with God for not working according to our expectations .

God has a pattern for your life    Heb. 8.5 “that thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee (not someone else)”. You’ve got to do it the way God shows you. Noah built the ark because that was God’s pattern for Noah, Moses built a tabernacle because that was Gods pattern for Moses, Solomon built a temple because God told him to. You must not do it the way somebody did it but according as God has shown you.

Claim God's Promises for Your Marriage

• Whitney Hopler, Live It Editor

God makes many promises throughout the Bible. And you and your spouse can rely on every one of them, because the power of a promise depends on the one who makes it. There's no better promise to trust than one made by God Himself.
Claiming God's promises together will unleash His power in your marriage. Here are some ways you can claim God's promises of ...
Answered prayer: Honestly consider what excuses you've been using not to pray. Identify the one that's most obvious in your life, and ask God to help you overcome it. Make a list of people and things for which to pray. Then record answers as they come. Memorize one of the Scripture verses that describes God's promise to answer prayer (such as Matthew 7:7-8). Talk and listen to God throughout your day, even in the car and the shower. Commit to praying with your spouse daily. Set an initial goal of praying together for five minutes each day, then gradually increase that time as appropriate.
Change: Know that God isn't interested in preserving the status quo; He specializes in bringing about transformation. Ask yourself and your spouse: "How has my life changed since accepting Christ?" and "How has my marriage changed since becoming a Christian?". Thank God for those changes. Then ask, "What further changes does God want me to make in my life that will better reflect that I am His child?" Ask God for help to make those changes. Finally, ask your spouse or another trusted person to share any positive changes he or she has observed in your character or conduct recently, and what changes you may still need to make.
Comfort: Rely on God's comfort when you're suffering. Know that He is always available to help you, no matter what your circumstances. Trust that God will also use your pain as tools to bring about positive growth in your life; ask Him to reveal what He wants you to learn from your troubles. Develop a compassionate heart for other people and share the comfort God has given you with them - through encouraging words, acts of kindness, hugs, etc. Don't lecture, sermonize, accuse, or criticize hurting people. Instead, remember when you were hurting yourself and recall how God encouraged you. Keep in mind that hard times can deepen your faith, teach you patience, develop your maturity, build your wisdom, force you to pray, and remind you of what's truly important.
Completion: Trust that God will continue to work in your life until He has completed all the good work He has begun in you. Take heart that God isn't finished with either you or your spouse. View yourselves as works in progress. Pray about your specific needs individually and as a couple. Make every effort to grow continuously in your walk with God, and be confident of His help to do so.
Courage: Know that God will give you the courage you need for whatever battles you face - in your marriage, and elsewhere. Read your Bible daily, asking the Holy Spirit to guide you as you read. Decide to stand up for Christ in public, at work, and at home. Strive to model godly character to one another and others, fulfill your role in your family, guide your family out of worldliness and into holiness, speak up for morality at your children's school(s), and live a consistent life for Christ, regardless of the cost. Discuss your fears with your spouse and support each other in prayer for newfound courage.
Deliverance: Expect temptations as a normal part of life in our fallen world. Know that God promises to help you avoid giving into temptation by providing a way to escape it before it hurts you. Be aware of people or situations that tempt you - a shortcut, an attractive man or woman, a bigger house, etc. Run from your areas of weakness. Pray before you act. Read God's Word. Consider the consequences of giving into specific temptations. Build a support system of other Christians who can encourage you and keep you accountable.
Forgiveness: Know that the forgiveness God gives is complete and permanent. You can't ever use it up. It's meant to be shared (since God has forgiven you, show mercy to your spouse and others). It changes you. Regularly confess your sins to God, accept His forgiveness, embrace His mercy, and trust that He will help you move on with a clean slate and second chances. Make a list of the people you need to forgive, then pray about each one. Make another list of the people you have wronged, beginning with your spouse. Take the first step to make things right between you and each person you've hurt. Let go of bitterness and embrace kindness. Praise God for the gift of forgiveness.
Grace: Trust that God's grace is sufficient for your salvation and to shape you and your spouse into the people He wants you to be. Rely on God's grace to see you through any trial you experience. Thank God that you are under grace and not the law. Extend grace to your spouse and others by sharing the gospel, showing forgiveness, and shouldering their burdens.
Guidance: Depend on God for the knowledge and wisdom to know what to do in all situations. Recognize the limitations of your own wisdom. Always seek God's will, for decisions both great and small. Examine the values and priorities you and your spouse have, and seek to align them with God's. Use your God-given abilities to reason, but never rely solely on your own reason; consult God, one another, and other people. Listen to wise advice and be willing to be corrected. Be patient and wait to act until God's will becomes clear to you.
Hope: You can be confident that God is working out His good plans for your marriage and your entire life. Know that the hope God offers you is real because it's grounded in His power. Realize that He can transform even the most tragic situations to help you grow. Whenever you feel overwhelmed by something in life, remember God's words of hope and encouragement in His Word. Trust in God's faithfulness. Recall how God has come through for you in the past. Rejoice that, no matter how bad things become, God has a plan for good and will be with you in your every hour of need.
Life: Understand that life is offered only in Jesus, is found only in Jesus, and is abundant because of Jesus - right here and now, and also in the life to come after you leave this world. If you haven't already, begin an eternal relationship with Jesus by asking Him to be your Lord and Savior. Live each day with all your heart, recognizing that it is a valuable gift. Be grateful to be alive. Don't worry about losing eternal life once you have it, because nothing can snatch you out of Jesus' hands once you've truly given your life to Him. Share the good news of God's gift of life with other people.
Love: Since God chooses to love you no matter what, choose to love your spouse and other people no matter what. Decide to serve God and others. Look for opportunities to do so. Stay close to God through prayer and a pure life of obedience so His love will flow freely through your heart to others. Make love your highest goal. Enjoy acting in love often!

Peace: Know that peace comes through trusting God and living in obedience to Him. Take whatever issues are troubling you individually and as a couple to God in prayer, turning them over to Him. Confess sins that may be blocking your intimacy with God and the peace that results. Whenever you're tempted to worry about anything, pray about it instead. Rely on God's guidance and strength to work through your problems together.
Power: Understand that Jesus doesn't promise you worldly positions of power and authority. He promises you something greater - spiritual power. Realize the importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit and relying on the Spirit's constant counsel in your life. Ask the Holy Spirit to empower you to guard against sin in your marriage and other parts of your life. Witness to others by letting them see God's powerful work in your life. Follow God's call into service opportunities with the confidence that He will empower you to fulfill them well.
Presence: Trust that God will always be present with you, no matter what. Don't worry about your spouse when you're apart, and don't lean too much on each other when you're together. Remember that God is looking out for both of you. Be aware of God's constant presence with you, and communicate with Him throughout each day in prayer.
Provision: Thank God for the ways He has provided for you, physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, financially, etc. Take heart that He has promised to give you everything you truly need. Remember that you and your spouse have the responsibility to be good stewards of all God has entrusted to you; strive to do a good job. Be content with what God has given you. Give back to God a portion of what He has provided to you. Develop and stick to a budget. Discuss how you can cut expenses. Wait on major purchases until you pray about them.
Purpose: Know that God's purpose gives meaning and significance to your marriage and entire life. Recognize that His plans are unique for you. Patiently wait for God to fully reveal His purpose for your life. Be faithful where you are in life right now as you await His guidance for your next steps. Understand that it's part of each person's purpose to come to repentance for sins, live a pure life, act as His witnesses to other people, and be transformed more and more into Jesus' image. Know that part of each spouse's purpose is to love and respect his or her partner. Realize that part of each parent's purpose is to care for and spiritually train his or her children.
Rest: Recognize that rest is a gift from God that is important for a balanced life. As a couple, evaluate your schedules to determine whether or not you're each getting adequate rest. Cut back on anything that's preventing you from getting the sleep and recreation you need. Take regular vacations and cultivate a hobby that has nothing to do with your regular job. Through prayer, give your burdens to Jesus - the only One who is strong enough to carry them.
Self-Discipline: Rely on God's promised help to control your attitudes and actions so you can be faithful in your marriage and entire life. Actively seek to develop godly discipline. Deal promptly with sin such as anger and laziness. Memorize Scripture and meditate on it to renew your mind. Monitor what you see and dwell on, since your eyes are the gateway to your mind. Avoid media that corrupts your thinking. Keep your body fit. Ask God to help you achieve a healthy balance between your work and home lives. Develop and stick to a budget.
Strength. Understand that Jesus is the source of your strength; He is the reason you can do all things in the spiritual realm. Stay closely connected to Him through prayer and living an obedient life. Surround yourself with people you trust who will help hold you accountable in your walk of faith. Exercise your faith by trusting God for your needs, praying and anticipating God's answers, relying on God's strength in your weakness, believing God's promises in the midst of trials, being a consistent witness to your beliefs, and standing up for your faith in all situations.
Success: Celebrate the fact that you can be successful in your marriage and every other aspect of your life, by God's measurements, if you: study the Bible consistently, ponder what it says, and apply it completely. Survey your heart and honestly assess the standards by which you may be judging your own level of success. Then allow God to align your values with His. Evaluate your level of obedience to God's Word. Surrender your practices that don't reflect the faithfulness God desires of you.
Victory: Rejoice that God has given you and your spouse certain victory over sin and death if you each have a saving relationship with Jesus. Acknowledge that your current spiritual setbacks are only skirmishes in the larger spiritual war of resisting evil and growing closer to Jesus. Recognize that sin in your life is an affront to a holy God, and deal with sin seriously. Acknowledge the strong hold evil can have over you and others, and don't be caught off-guard. Pray often for God's strength to do the right thing. Know God's Word and recall verses that apply to situations in which you find yourself. Flee temptation. Be accountable to your spouse and others you trust and respect. Ask them to pray for you to be faithful in your attitudes and actions. Remember that you and your spouse are a team, and if God is your coach, you'll win in life.
Wisdom: Know that God is the ultimate source of wisdom. Desire the wisdom He gives, and pray for it. Continue to seek it every day, since your marriage and other parts of your life are constantly changing.
Worth: Realize that you are of great worth because you're one of God's beloved children. Base your worth on your identity in Christ. Thank God that, even though the physical materials of your body aren't worth much, He has given you a priceless soul. Understand that your limitations are actually gifts because they force you to trust God. Accept your limitations and use them as reasons to rely more on God's strength. Know that God never makes a mistake, so you can trust His work in your life and that of your spouse. Understand that your marriage is worthwhile because it helps you both learn to love more deeply.

GOD LOVES GAYS AND HAS GREAT PLANS FOR THEM

UNDERSTANDING HOMOSEXUALITY & LESBIANISM

The sanctity of sex:  The act of marriage is that beautiful and intimate relationship shared uniquely by a husband and wife in the privacy of their love. It is holy or sacred experience and was designed by God to be so in any relationship.

The writer of the book of Hebrews in the Bible declares in Hebrews 15:4 “Marriage is honourable in all and the bed undefiled”. The term the bed undefiled is indicative of the truth that marriage is sacred experience just as worship is. The act of lovemaking is therefore a very holy experience.

The Holy Spirit’s word for ‘bed’ in Hebrew is the Greek Koite (pronounced Koy Tay) meaning ‘cohabitation by implanting the male sperm’ koite comes from the root word Keimai meaning to lie’ and is akin to Koimao which means ‘to cause to sleep’. The commonly used word describing sex is the word coitus which comes from the latin word coition, the Greek word Koite has the same meaning and signifies the relationship a married couple experiences in the bed that the cohabit’ Based on this meaning of the word, Heb.13:4 could be translated, ‘Coitus in marriage is honourable in all and undefiled.’ It is God’s privilege for partners to create a new life, another human being, as a result of the expression of their love.

God, who created sex describes it as very good (Gen. 1:31) and was intended for the purpose of mutual enjoyment by a man and his wife 1Tim.6:17 and also to bring about the propagation of a godly human race. It is against this backdrop that all form of ungodly acts of sex are highly condemned by God.

The word of God clearly spells out God’s design for sexual expression. The restrictions he placed on sexual expression protect the purity of that design.

God has set boundaries on sexual expression because of his holiness and as a means of protecting us from physical and emotional harm. By living within the borders of sexual purity, we can experience this wonderful gift from God as he intended.

The abominable sex acts as enumerated in the Bible includes incest – sex with near relatives Lev.18:10-18, immediate family Lev.18:6-9.fornication i.e. sexual act outside marriage e.g. promiscuity Deut.22:23-25, adultery, Deut.22:22, prostitution Deut. 23:17-18; perversion i.e. Homosexuality and lesbianism Lev.18:22, prov.1:26 bestiality i.e. sex with an animal Lev.18:23 practitioners of these act are in violation of God’s righteous laws and stand judged by God’s word Pro.1:32 and in danger of eternal damnation.

WHOLISTIC SEX EDUCATION: Gen.18:22-26 God created sex to be an intimate bonding experience between a husband and wife. Homosexual and lesbian practices violated God’s design. We must not take sexual sin lightly; indifference about it only conveys acceptance and God does not want us to accept sin. Parents need to teach their children that God has made provision for sexual union within the bonds of marriage between a man and a woman (Gen.2:23-24). Don’t wait what friends and schools to teach them to accept what God calls sinful behaviour. In your comments and attitude towards homosexuals, model love for the person – because God loves all people (Jn.3:16) along with hate for the sin. Parents should be the one to introduce God’s design for sex to their children. God’s word is the standard for truth and is ultimately reliable. It reveals God’s standard about life and human sexuality. In Romans1:24-27, we can see four moral and spiritual truths about homosexuality and lesbianism.

Homosexuality is a behaviour: The Bible never calls homosexuality an identity or an alternative sexuality created by God. The Bible says ‘women…… indulged in sex … With each other. And the men…..doing shameful things with other men……’Romans 1:26 - 27.

Homosexuality is a sinful behaviour: Sinful means that such behaviour is displeasing to God. The word of God says; ‘God let them go ahead into every sort of sex sin’ Romans 1: 24.

Homosexuality and Lesbianism is a substitute for God’s natural plan: the word of God says that “even their women turned against God’s natural plan (Rom.1:26). God created all people to be heterosexuals even as there would be a male and female character among homosexuals .. Homosexuality and lesbianism is a spiritual and emotional disorientation, deviation and disorder of his plan.

As with all sin, the root of homosexuality and lesbianism is caused and maintained by those who refuse to honour God. “They know about him all right, but they wouldn’t admit it or worship him or even thank him all his daily care” Rom.1:21.

All sin is a turning away from God all healing comes from a return to God spiritually and morally, lesbianism and homosexuality as a sinful behaviour that distorts God’s natural plan for human sexuality. Loss of self worth, low self esteem, identity crises and a filthy disposition and a high suicidal tendency are some of the traits in the lives of confessed homosexuals and lesbians.

Homosexuality is not the unforgivable sin: It is important to understand that homosexual behaviour has emotional and psychological roots. While homosexuality is sin, it is not the unforgivable sin. God knows that all of us are sinners prone to emotional wounding and disordered behaviour.

In the gospel of St. John 8: 1-11, we see the story of an adulterous woman who was brought before Jesus. If this had been a homosexual person, Jesus would have meted same act of kindness to such an individual. The word of God says; Jesus loved the woman just as he loves all sinners including homosexuals and lesbians popularly knows as “gays”. He forgave her and commanded her to stop sinning. He said; neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more. (John 8:11). God loves homosexuals or gays and calls them to repent and be healed. He seeks their conversion, not their shame and ruin.

How to overcome Homosexuality and Lesbianism:

There are six elements to an effective healing program for individuals struggling with lesbianism or homosexuality.

Firstly, the individual most open his/her heart to the pure love of God. Only God can give a new heart through a personal relationship through Jesus Christ. He or she needs to become a child of God. Only Jesus can give the overcomer this real relationship to God because as he says “no one can get to the father except by him (John 14: 6) “To all who received him (Jesus) he gave power to become the children of God” (John 1:12)

Secondly, the individual needs a personal devotional life that include regular study and meditation on God’s word and a vital life of prayers and periodic fasting .

Thirdly, the subject needs to be actively involve with a good Bible teaching and preaching church that offers fellowship and nurture in Christian holiness.

Fourthly, the individual needs a good Christian friend or married couple with whom to share burdens and be held accountable.

Fifthly, the individual needs to be committed to professional Christian counseling to learn about the root of homosexuality and lesbianism, gain personal insight and work through emotional healing

Finally, the individual needs to be involved in a group support ministry with other overcomers. Such a group offers weekly support and education provides Honesty, openness, prayer and encouragement. God loves all gays and there is hope for those trying to overcome lesbianism and homosexuality.

“Don’t you know that those doing such things have no share in the kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who live immoral lives, who are idol worshippers , adulterers or homosexuals will have no share in his kingdom. Neither with thieves or greedy people, drunkards, slanderers or robbers. There was a time when some of you were just like that but now your sins are washed away and you are set apart for God; and he has accepted you because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you” 1cor.6:9-11.

                             Prayer

Heavenly father, forgive me of my sins of sexual immorality against you. Wash me clean from all unrighteousness as I receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal Saviour. Amen.

LEGALIZATION OF SAME- SEX MARRIAGE

LEGALIZATION OF SAME- SEX MARRIAGE

- The beginning of the destruction of the institution of marriage-

“Homosexuality is absolutely forbidden, for it is an enormous sin” Leviticus 18.22.

“God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, evil men who push away the truth from them… they knew about him all right, but they wouldn’t admit or worship him or even thank him for all his daily care… so God let them go ahead into every sort of sex sin,… instead if believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies…  That is why God let go of them and let them do all these evil things, so that even their women turned against God’s natural plan for them and indulged in sex sin with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sex relationships with women,  burned with lust for each other, men doing shameful things with other men and as a result, getting paid within their own souls with the penalty they so richly deserved … Romans 1.18 –27.

HOMOSEXUALITY:  The chambers Dictionary defines this term as “having or relating to sexual attraction to members of one’s own sex or a person sexually attracted only to one’s own sex or a person sexually attracted only to others of their own sex.

ABNORMALITY OF HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOUR:  The chambers dictionary defines what is normal as that which is according to rule; not deviating from the standard; regular, typical, ordinary; well-adjusted mentally; functioning regularly; Homosexuals do not follow or fulfill any of these criteria of normality therefore Homosexuality or lesbianism is an abnormal way of life. The Holy Bible calls this behaviour abnormal.

POPULARITY OF HOMOSEXUALITY:  With the advent of the internet and the ease of travel from one part of the globe to the other it has become quite easier for proponents of this lifestyle to bond with their counterparts from the other parts of the world as a result pornographic materials depicting Homosexuality and lesbianism are found in virtually every nook and cranny of our society.

Addicts are quick to say that is an alternative lifestyle that has gained quite some popularity and therefore is here to stay. It is erroneous to assume that the popularity of a negative lifestyle will automatically turn into a positive virtue. For instance, driving on the opposite lane against vehicular traffic   is an alternative lifestyle however it’s popularity would not make it a right thing to do. The implications; incessant traffic hold-ups- are not far-fetched.

LEGALIZATION OF SAME-SEX MARRIAGE: This involves giving legal backing to Homosexuals to consummate their relationship as a man would with his wife. Thus, a man would be free to marry a fellow man and receive the same constitutional benefits as in a man-woman marriage relationship. That would mean having homosexuals expressing their sexual intimacy in public such as the holding of hands, kissing etc. It also involves having Homosexual as Bishops, Pastors, imams, headmasters, Newscasters, Military officers, senators, and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Societies that have legalized same sex marriage have witnessed a rapid decline and deterioration of it’s moral fibre as Homosexuality is nothing but an affront on the institution of marriage which consists of a man and a woman in a common bond of matrimonial relationship. Homosexuals themselves confirm this status by having one of them acting out as a woman; there are also instances of homosexuals adopting babies in other to fill the void created by the absence of the opposite sex. This introduces the baby into a world of identity crises and at the end the child grows up to become socially and psychologically imbalanced. This imbalance now leads to the corrosion of communal values such as customs and traditions. This leads to insensitivity towards each other as the value for human life plummets and irrationalism becomes the order of the day. A war of the sexes becomes eminent. That is why in Europe and America where homosexuality has been legalized, it is common place to hear of serial killers whose victims  where women and vice versa. Other forms of sexual vices become rampant.

A  LITTLE LEAVEN LEAVENS THE WHOLE LUMP:

“But it takes only one wrong person among you to infect all the others – a little yeast spreads quickly through the whole batch of dough! Galatians  5.9

all it takes for a total break down of societal and moral order is for those sadled with the SACRED responsibility of instituting godly laws which serve to protect society to make compromise by accepting to constitutionalize same sex marriage thus equating good with evil. This will automatically stir up other ungodly so-called human right activities who will then overwhelm the legislative arm of government with bills such as we have in America and Europe that legitimizes pornography which is Satan’s door –way to absolute sodomy. The resultant effect would be the proliferation of sexual immorality such as paedophilia (sexual desire whose object is children), incest (i.e sexual relations with near relatives Lev.18:10-18 or immediate family Lev. 18:6-9) promiscuity (casual sexual acts as depicted in most western movies, Adultery (sexual relations person Deut. 22. 22) Prostitution (acceptance if money for sexual intercourse Deut. 23:17-18) Bestiality (i.e having sexual acts with animals Lev. 18.23). These and other lewd acts are rampant in societies where homosexuality has been legalized.

The consequences of legalizing a sexually immoral act sets the stage for the collapse of the institution of marriage-the bedrock of a sound moral upbringing-today, 50% of the marriages in America and England end up in divorce after a year of marriage. Those societies struggle daily  with the menace of STD’s (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) such as HIV/AIDS. There is also an upsurge in the rate of teenage pregnancies, multiple abortions; and this has increased the rate of maternal deaths due to abortion related complications. Our churches are now inundated with women seeking for the fruit of the womb due to the damaging effects of sexual immorality as most of them find it difficult to   conceive and as a result lots of marriages are falling apart.

GOD’LL PURNISH EVIL LAW MAKERS

“Destruction is certain for those who say that evil is good and good is evil; that dark is light and light is dark; that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter” Isaiah 5.20.

our law makers where put in office by God to promulgate righteous laws designed to bring glory to God, thus promoting joy and peace to the populace. They should therefore  resist the pressure form these pseudo- human –rights groups whose patrons and  major sponsors are the producers of pornographic paraphernalia such as condoms, pills, pornographic movies etc , these see our large population as a viable market to sell their products as they are presently doing in the public schools on America and Europe were condoms are freely distributed to children in public schools and today we have a sex industry with an estimated worth of over 5 billion U.S Dollars. Law makers are given mouth watering offers to enact bad laws at the expense of the safety of their children and loved ones who are suffering under the consequences of the wrong decisions made by past governments. Monies that would have been used to build good roads and other essentials are diverted towards buying drugs to fight the scurge of the various STD’S which attack the workforce of the nation thus destroying the economy of the nation.

SEXUAL SINS ARE SEVERELY CONDEMNED BY GOD

Adultery, fornication, homosexuality, sensuality, impure desire and degrading passions are considered grave sins in the sight of God. They are a transgression of the law of love and a defiling of the marriage relationship such sins are severely condemned in scripture. Making a practice of these sins places one outside the kingdom of God. (Romans 1.24-32, 1 Cor. 6.9, 10, Gal. 5: 19-21).

SEX EDUCATION:  God created sex to be an intimate bonding experience between a husband and wife. Homosexual practices violate God’s design. We must not take sexual sin lightly indifference about it only conveys acceptance, and God does not want us to accept sin. Parents need to teach their children that God has made provision for sexual union within the bonds of marriage between a man and a woman (Gen. 2:23-24). If we don’t tell our kids the truth about sex, someone will tell them a lie.

Prayer

Heavenly, Father forgive me of my sexual sins and wash me clean from filthy thoughts on sex, I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
