THE DANGER OF
ADULTERY
Lust not after beauty
in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. For by means of whorish woman, a man is
brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious
life. Can a man take fire in his clothe and not be burned? Can one go upon
hot colas and his feet not be burned? So he that goeth into his neighbour’s
wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent…. But whoso committeth
adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his
own soul”. Proverbs 6:25-32.

dultery is simply sex between married persons who are
not legally married. It is therefore a sin, God permitted sexual relationship
to take place only between a man and a woman who are legally joined together.
Any thing short of this is adultery. God hates sin, including adultery. The
sin of adultery is a destiny killer. Ask Samson and Joseph, they will
tell you that it was a distinguishing wall between their destinies. Two of them
came to term with the reality of adultery; one escaped it, while the other
handled it with excess recklessness. There are many great men of God who have
no ministry today because of this sin. They have been brought to a piece of
bread by whorish women.
Adultery
was compared to fire. Anyone who is involved cannot have peace, if he/she has a
good conscience, the conscience will haunt him/her continuously. The sin
of adultery involves the totality of the man-the body, soul and spirit.
Unfortunately there are people who “enjoy” themselves in adultery. I like them
to the druggists, the smokers and the alcoholism; who believe they are enjoying
themselves. They feel “Cool” after each runs, but I tell you they are gradually
destroying their bodies and their souls. If you desire the fullness of God in
your life this week and beyond, flee the sin of adultery.
