What I find in Christianity is a large number of hurt persons, coming together in relationships and marriages with persons who are hurting, and the result is this, hurt persons who are hurting, hurting each other.
Lets face facts that as humane, Christians or non Christians we all have basic needs and the need to be loved ,accepted and to have sexual gratification or fulfilment rank high on most humane lives.
The Bible talks about being unequally yoked and if one looks at statistics and findings of many counsellors,one realises that many who are getting married are unequally yoked and their tolerance level and inability to sit down and work through basic problems is almost non existent.
What is mind-boggling to me is the high percentage of infidelity in marriages where both men and women early in the marriage or relationship have affairs ..
The question I want to ask is this are many putting themselves in relationships because of Love, Lust,because they are compatible with the person, for financial gains, benefits or for reasons that only the individual can fathom?
What has also caught my attention are the many marriages that have ended same day, the next day, a week, a month, a few months, the first year, the second year etc, …
What has been catching my attention is the increase of infidelity in churches where married men and women are getting involved with persons who are married.
One sad case is the case where an assistant pastor opened his wife flash drive to see his pastor and wife engaged in sexual activity which they had taped.
The bible speaks clearly against adultery and fornication…It beseeches in Exodus 20 :16-17
16“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour. 17“You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbour.”
We all will face some form of temptation in whatever form….
Satan role is to tempt us, to put thoughts in our minds ,to get us to act on them…
The Bible says that as a man / woman thinketh so is he….
If our thoughts are lustful, of anger, unholy etc,satan will keep sending temptations our way,until we fall….
I want to share a video of a Pastor who had what many thought was a great ministry in Uganda ,but who had issues relating to women ,lustful,thoughts and fantasies ,and how God dealt with him, and brought him into a position, that God could really use him….
God wants to clean persons up, so he can use us in a mighty way.
May this reflection and video minister to you in a powerful way…
Listen to John Mulinde message……..
