TOPIC - HONOUR YOUR MARRIAGE
Read 1 Corinthians 7:1-5
1. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
MEMORISE: Marriage is honourable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge (Hebrews 13:4)
EXPOSITION
Marriage is a union of a lifetime covenant between a man and a woman. It is a gift from God and a sacred institution that should be treated honourably among all Christians (Mal. 2:14). After all, God instituted and ordained it at creation (Gen. 2:18). God ordained marriage and sex within marriage relationship. Sexual intercourse is the deepest and most sensitive aspect of the marriage covenant. Sex makes the man and woman one body and soul (1 Cor. 6:16-18). The sexual union should be within the bond of marriage covenant relationship. To engage in sex outside marriage is sin and disastrous. For the sacredness of marriage, God cannot help but judge such people. You dishonour God and your marriage by having sexual relationship outside of the marriage covenant.
According to our memory Scripture, God will judge the fornicators (single people who have sex) and adulterers (married people who have sex with people other than their spouses). God punishes pre-marital sex among the singles and extramarital sex among the married, immediately, with disease, poverty, etc., and ultimately in hell (1 Cor. 6:9-10; Eph. 5:5-6).
To avoid pre-marital sex, the single brothers and sisters in the Lord should be strongly determined not to allow their fiancees/fiances to see their nakedness before their wedding nights. To avoid extramarital sex, be resolute in the Lord never to defile your marriage bed (Job 31:1; 1 Cor. 7:1-5; Heb. 13:4).
PRAYER POINTS
1. Father, help me to always stay away from casual and illicit sexual relationships.
2. Lord, grant all our single brothers and sisters grace to keep their bodies holy till the night of their wedding day.
3. Lord, give the married people enough grace to be faithful to their mates in marriage.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Job 4:9 - 6:23; Acts 19:26 – 20:6
