Normal temptation

Today is a day i have really thought of something so many of us assume, if not ignore,yet it affects us daily as human beings.
I was just innocently seated in A Nissan reading the parents magazine i had carried.One girl entered the Nissan and sat in front with me. I never cared to know but the conductor asked for money and loh, when she turned to pay,her chest interacted with mine for those few seconds and all over my body,flaming sparks started flying at a faster rate!
I turned quickly and looked at her but she was not aware of the effects of her womanhood on me.I had to seat straight and look ahead as though nothing has happened to me but all the same,i was feeling funny
This made me think of so many moments many believers have found themselves in, either knowingly, or unknowingly....Yes,the bible says we should run away from sexual sins, but to many of us, we would rather stroll away, if not stand to resist it, but when we fall, we realize how frail we're and unable to stand against its lure.
This days,all over town you will see young girls and boys,if not mature men and women hanging in each others arms, if not kissing passionately in the name of love.When i think about such, i wonder if I'm the only one who is abnormal in this world, because such a thing can easily disable my mind and give all the rights to the body. This made me decide never to be in secluded places with any woman,if not lonely places and pathways. Actually,i never invite women to my house and i don't visit a lady i have feeling for in her house when a lone.This has always worked for me
My point is,when we get saved,our feelings don't die.Actually the body never gets saved.That's why Paul said i die daily!That means putting our bodies under our control is a daily dying! If you ask many saved men and women who backslide or fell into sex sin,the reason is always simple,they ignored the obvious,and thought they're mature enough to handle it,only to find themselves on the floors gulping for strength,while looking for someone else to help them wake up
In another post,i made it clear about how powerful the sexual drive is . In-fact,It is so strong that it can alter a person's thinking and emotions. It has the power to harden the heart and move us to irrational and sinful decisions.
God has created sex for the marriage bed and for there alone. He wants you to be pure in mind and body, reserving the sexual union for the proper context of marriage so that you might properly honor God and your spouse..It's never advisable to any single to hang around,hang in someone's arms or even think he is above the lure of sex. Nowadays you can be exited for sex anywhere and everywhere but if you're in charge of you,always look for a way of escape,if nor run as fast as possible,for your safety and peace. Sometimes it's wise to be mute on some people for your safety!It's not a sin to do that,if you know talking to them makes you turn on your sexual gear!
To all my single friends,my prayer is that ,"God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.1 Thessalonians 5:23.
Take care of yourselves and God will give you the strength to overcome the lure of sex and its appeal.God bless you all
