Memorise: Flee fornication. Every sin that a man
doeth is without the body; but he that committeth Fornication
sinneth against his own body. 1st Corinthians 6:18
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take
the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What?
know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith
he, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord
is one spirit. 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth
is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own
body. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the
Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For
ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your
spirit, which are God's.
The
scripture tells us that our bodies are the temple of the Almighty God. This is
to let us know how important our body is to the Almighty God. He dwells in it.
Can you imagine that divinity lives inside of you? As Christians, our bodies
are the extension of Christ in this world. This is why we are being admonished
not to conform to this world. The moment a person begins to sin against his
body through fornication, that person is already doomed for destruction because
you are taking the body of Christ and laying it with a harlot. All sins are
against the Almighty God. Some sins are against those around us when we engage
in certain acts, but the sin of fornication is destruction against one’s own
body.
Your
body is a tool entrusted into your hands by the Almighty God and everyone will
give account of what they do with their body. You will be answerable to all the
damages against your body because the body does not belong to you; it was only
entrusted to your care by God. The moment a person gives his life to Christ,
Jesus Christ becomes the owner and Lord of your life. Every part of your body
becomes a tool in His hand. Your eyes, hands, legs, tongue, nose and every
organ of your body becomes His. You can no longer sin with your body; you can
no longer walk in the company of the ungodly. You can no longer taste alcohol,
Indian hemp, smoke cigarettes, cocaine etc. Your hands become clean and for His
glory alone. You are no longer the owner of your body. You are only the owner
of something that you created. You did not create your body.
“And the lord formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man become a living
souls.” Genesis
2:7
Fornication
is a very terrible sin because it is a total abuse of the temple of the
Almighty God. Anyone that destroys the temple of the Almighty God will see the
wrath of God! The consequence is always disastrous on the part of the person
abusing the temple
of God
There
are different kinds of teachers today who trivialise some things that God has a
great disgust for. You cannot play with fire and not have your fingers burnt.
Are you the leader of a group and you are abusing the bodies of those God has
put in your care? Are you an executive in the fellowship and you are sleeping
around with the sisters in the name of ‘brotherly love’? Are you single but
becoming so impatient that you have started doing what exclusively reserved for
married people? You are looking for the ‘consuming fire’ side of God and you
can be sure you will not be able to withstand the consequences. I want you to
make up your mind this moment that enough is enough on every unholy
relationship and affair. If you don’t want your destiny to be truncated by sin,
you must FLEE from every appearance of evil.
Prayer Point: Father, please help me to honour You
daily with my body.
