BAIT IN DISGUISE


Everybody is created with a purpose. God has a plan for anybody he creates and this of course is not hidden from Devil (the greatest enemy of God’s plan for mankind). He never wants anybody to fulfill God’s plan and to accomplish this He uses pre-marital sex as one of His most potent tool.
Sex before marriage is gradually becoming a social norm that those who don’t do it are much more less than few. You hardly can see ten out of every hundred teenagers between ages fifteen and nineteen who never had sex.
Devil is really using this bait (pre-marital sex) to trauncate the life and destiny of youngsters of nowadays. It baffles me when so-called Christian teens & youth fall into this costly trap, what a pity! Let’s see some example of people whose future never existed, those whose dreams & destiny were marred, those whose hope of becoming great were dashed.
“…And he was more honourable than all the house of his father …And unto Shechem …hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city” (Gen. 34:19, 24). We see here that Prince Shechem was influential and honourable that he could influence and bring the whole of a city to a consensus of his own opinion. (he will surely win any election unopposed in his time). Devil’s awareness to this made Him set this resistible bait for Shechem which the latter fell into willingly. This cost him his life and that of his city men.
Hophni and Phinehas were also victims of this deadly bait (ISam. 2:22b). Priesthood is suppose to be there inheritance as they are to succeed there father; Eli, but because of sexual and other sins, they died prematurely (before their father), they caused the death of their father, the ark of God was taken (ISam. 4:17-18), their lineage stopped being priest and they became accursed (ISam. 2:31-34).
This same strategy was also used to shatter the hope of Prince Amnon (King David’s son) becoming a king. Amnon, as a prince enjoys all kingly benefits –best of education, best residence, king’s meal, royalties exposure and lots more (IISam. 13:4a). He is (as a prince) entitled to the throne but it never happened as pre-marital sex dashed all his hopes.
Though it may seem not to cost anything for Joseph to sleep with his master’s wife, but I tell you, he will end up an unknown slave with all his glorious dreams not realized. Don’t be surprised they may be caught in the very act just as Devil planned. In Gen. 39:11b, it was recorded that nobody was around when Joseph was being seduced by his master’s wife but they all appeared  some few minutes after Joseph fled. This simply implies that they would have being caught peradventure Joseph consented to his master’s wife. Uhm! You know what that means.
Incredibly, venereal diseases nor pregnancy no longer arouses fear for sex in youth. This is largely because Devil and his agent are producing medication, pills and all sorts of things which prevent both. Worst of all is the prophylactic made for both sexes. They are so cheap and common that it is far lees than affordable. Recently in one of the ‘Flava’ Programmes on radio, youths were asked which among Abstinence, Being faithful to ones partner, Condom use and a popular Nigerian artiste which is most populous …though Abstinence won when the artiste himself chose the option, Condom use won with big margin of vote count. Some of the voters were even with Condom(s) in their pockets.
I wonder what would have been of us if Jesus were to be born in our time. I wonder if there will be virgin favoured enough to be His mother.
SO PLEASE KEEP OFF, DON’T GET TRAPPED!
