JUVENILE SPHERE

Discovery: the dangerous thing about sexual sin
you may not know.
For by the means of a harlot A man is reduced
to a crust of bread; and an adulteress will prey
upon his precious life…whoever commits
adultery with a woman lacks understanding; he
who does so destroys his own soul. Wound and
dishonour he will get. And his reproach will not
be wiped away. Proverb 6:26-29; 32-33.
Sex is sacred; it has so much attachment to
our honour and level of success in life. Sexual
relationships when properly done under the laid
down divine directives can guaranty man’s
future and when done in disregard to God’s
directives, it destroys him. Proverb 7:27 says
and I paraphrased that sexual immorality is the
way of hell, going down to the chambers of
death. Though other sins take one to hell,
sexual immorality brings hell to the offenders.
It’s unique because of its immediate
consequence on its violators. Our text says it
reduces one to a crust of bread.
Early in my life, God warned me about
immorality, He told me that if I ever indulge in
it, and latter ask for forgiveness, that I will be
granted leniency but I wouldn’t get to the peak
of my destiny. Proverbs says offenders are
reduced, brought-low, dishonoured, preyed on,
wounded, destroyed, and their reproach will not
be wiped away even when they have been
forgiving. Whenever we indulge in sexual sin, we
give in to pleasure, we also give in to
destructions, reproach, injuries, disregard,
shame, regrets, and we reduce our peak of
success in life.
God has a climax for every man that is, God has
a level he has set for every man in life; if a man
should climb up to ten ladders in life, each time
he commits sexual sin, he reduces his ladder to
nine, eight and so on.
REUBEN
And Jacob called his sons and said, "Gather
together, that I may tell you what shall befall
you in the last days: Gather together and hear,
you sons of Jacob, And listen to Israel your
father. Reuben, you are my firstborn, My might
and the beginning of my strength, The
excellency of dignity and the excellency of
power. Unstable as water, you shall not excel,
Because you went up to your father's bed…
Genesis 49:1-4.
Jacob called his sons to tell them what would
befall (their destiny) them in their future. He
called Reuben, and in verse 3 he described him
as’…the excellency of dignity (perfection of
honour), and the excellency (perfection) of
power. But because of his sexual immoral life in
Genesis 35:22 his destiny was reduced, brought
low, wounded, preyed on and he destroyed the
excellency in his life. ‘Unstable as water, thou
shalt not excel…verse 3.
Each time we commit sexual sin, we lose the
perfection of our life and the beauty of our
destiny. Reuben wasn’t heard of again after
this, he never excel in any thing; Judah took
over his place and took over his supposed
prominence.
ISRAEL
‘And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people
began to commit whoredom (sexual immorality)
with the daughters of Moabs.’ Numbers 24:1
Balak wanted to war against Israel, and he
asked Balaam to curse them so that he might
destroy them. Balaam couldn’t curse them
(Numbers 25:19-24), Therefore Balak wouldn’t
be able to defeat them. So Balaam advised
Balak to send the beautiful girls in Moab to the
tenth of Israel to seduce the Israelites into
committing immorality with them, thereby
causing the Israelites to bring destructions on
their selves. (Numbers 25:1; 31:6).
The Israelites fell to their seductions and were
destroyed. The devil still sends people to us
today to seduce us into immorality today,
because he achieves all his mission of stealing
killing and destroying the one time we fall into
sexual immorality.
Thousands are suffering today just because of
their sexual immorality, their reproach will keep
remaining with them unless the Lord intervenes.
Paul wrote, he said flee from sexual immorality,
not just run, but flee.
God bless you
