LESSONS FROM PROVERBS CHAPTER FIVE

uncategorized

The above Scripture shows how dangerous it is to be having affair outside your marriage. The Bible did not miss words on how dangerous it is for a married man to be going out sleeping with a woman that is not his wife.

Verses 3 – 6 says, “For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave. She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.”

No matter how young or old a person is, few men survive the road of immorality leaving deep wounds and pain in their lives and family. The road leads to death spiritually, physically, emotionally, financially and marriage wise. In the Book of Judges 16, Samson decided to play with the fire of immorality and he got burnt. We must stay away from immoral women even when they entice us. I always pity young men and cry for the elderly men who go about boasting about their escapades. Sometimes the devil may have seen how far and how well a man will do in life, he will send women into such a person’s life to cut short his life because women are one of his (devil’s) major tools. These men spend a lot of money, neglect their families, have children outside their matrimonial home they will not be proud to speak of. They also bring complicated matters that their families will suffer after they must have departed this world. And all these generate trouble for the poor wife and children (Proverbs 5: 9 – 17)

For example, a man who goes on a trip and each state or country he visits he sleeps with a woman and within his life time he knew that some of these women had children for him and some may have but will not see him due to no contact. What do you think will happen when the man finally dies and leave properties to his children that are known to his wife and leave the others out of the will? Well, you will say they have to go and carter for themselves, but may I remind you that you have already brought disaster to your legitimate children in the sense that the one or two out of those children will start plotting evil for the later to either take them to court or kill them. The seriousness of this issue is always undermined and on the part of the man, he will say well I can handle the situation when the time comes. Remember nobody knows what will happen tomorrow, just as you make your bed that is the way you or your children will lie on it. May the Lord have mercy on our lives in Jesus name….Amen!!

Are you presently having an affair and this has opened doors for the devil to scatter your marriage? It is time for you to cry out unto God. I would love you to say this prayer with me: Lord Jesus, I confess my sins to You. I brought all this trouble upon myself. Please have mercy upon me, forgive me of my sins…. (name those sins). Give me another chance Father to amend my life and marriage, I promise by the help of the Holy Spirit to be a new man who will love his wife and provide for my family. Help me, Lord, not to go back or be found in the places I used to be. Thank You, Father, for this opportunity in Jesus name I pray…Amen!!

I pray that by the mercy of God, He will shine His mercies upon you and for you to be saved and your marriage restored in Jesus name…Amen!!

Please as you have made this decision also turn your back completely on such sins and the likeness of it. Remember that hell is real and heaven is real. God has given us choices just as He gave Adam and Eve, to either choose life or death (Genesis 2:16; Deuteronomy 30:19). Now fear the Lord and serve Him faithfully. Far be it from you that after God’s salvation in your life and marriage you go back again to those ways of life. God created you to succeed in your marriage and enjoy the fruit of your labour with the wife of your youth (Proverbs 5: 18 – 18) that is why the Bible is there for your soul enrichment, in this way the Lord will guide your footsteps daily.
