THE TRAGEDY OF INFIDELITY (PT. 2)

Scripture:
‘FOR THE LIPS OF A STRANGE WOMAN DROP AS AN HONEYCOMB, AND HER MOUTH IS SMOOTHER THAN OIL: BUT HER END IS BITTER AS WORMWOOD, SHARP AS A TWO-EDGED SWORD.’
(PROVERBS 5:3-4)

๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŽIt’s strange to see a Husband who has a beautiful and responsible wife at home still ogling and leering at women and girls; to sleep with them. He calls himself “a womanizer” “a playboy” or some other delusional names. But the simple truth is: such men are shortsighted, immature and sickminded.

๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŽI know a highly placed man who has a penchant for sleeping with married women. Another got a Procurer, who is herself a married woman, to arrange my neighbour’s wife for him to sleep with in the 1980s when I was still single. Thank God, my neighbour’s wife refused.

๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŽAre women exempted? No! There are also many married women who are sleeping around.

๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŽSir/Ma, whoever you are and whatever may be your station in life, please hear this: if you like, desire, cherish, love or admire Infidelity despite the fact that God has given you a Spouse, then know that something is gravely wrong with your MIND. You aren’t mad but truly speaking, your mind isn’t just healthy and you badly need a divine mind transformation or a divine mind reset. This transformation will enable you see properly and think long term over anything that attracts your amorous interest.

๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŽOur anchor scriptures show us the unfortunate mindset of those who love extramarital affairs. Their entire focus is on the pleasures they sheepishly hope to enjoy while they’re unconcerned about the bitter and gloomy end that awaits them.

๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŽSuch was the case of Lebanese national who booked a hotel to sleep with a Nigerian housewife in the 1970s. Just after he’d undressed and the woman was pretending to start undressing, a team of pressmen arranged by her husband in agreement with his wife, barged into the hotel room cameras in hand and snapping several shots of the lustful expatriate. The very next day the disgraced white man fled the country. “Lagos Weekend”, a very popular newspaper of those days carried the news.

๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŽBesides, the loss of integrity that go hand in hand with infidelity, death also accompanies it.

๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŽAccording to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and related global health studies, sexually transmitted diseases (STD) are responsible for approximately 2.5 million deaths annually. This definitely isn’t an accurate figure. It’s much, much higher; because the overwhelming numbers of such deaths are not reported due to the shame and stigma associated with it.

๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŽBesides all these, there’s the heavy spiritual costs and other complications we may not be able to discuss here.

๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŽSir/Ma, extramarital affairs isn’t enjoyment. Those who do it invite divine judgements, human retribution and other consequences upon themselves. Don’t be thinking, “If I do, God will forgive me”. Remember that God forgave David but still judged him heavily. From the moment he committed that sin, David began to decline and his family was full of strife.

๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŽTherefore, beware of Infidelity. Be content with your dear husband or wife.
