KEEP A LID ON YOUR DIRTY PAST

Scripture:
‘A FOOL UTTERETH ALL HIS MIND: BUT A WISE MAN KEEPETH IT IN TILL AFTERWARDS.’
(PROVERBS 29:11)

🩵In marriage, spouses are one flesh, yet there is a need for wisdom in handling things that belong to your pasts; that is, things that happened before you met, fell in love, and agreed to marry each other.

🤎KEEP A LID ON YOUR DIRTY PAST
When your spouse met you, they liked you as you were, fell in love with you, and you tied the knot and became husband and wife.

💚Everything that happened in your life, particularly the dirty baggage of promiscuity you gathered as a result of your careless lifestyle, belongs to your past. This being so, these are not things you need to reveal to your mate, not even when they press you to disclose details of your sexual life as a single person.

💛Well, you can go ahead and share if you had a clean slate as a single person. But if you are one of those men and women who lived a wild and sexually immoral life, it is advisable to remain silent. They won’t die if you don’t tell them, will they? No! So, politely say that you don’t talk about your past. Why do you need to remain silent in this area? It is because the outcome may be bitter and regrettable.

Our subtitle above is a saying in the Igala language that means, “If the ears don’t hear, the heart won’t be angry.”

Many have unwisely revealed details about how they lived as single people in the name of being sincere and truthful. And the result? Their marriage partners began to see them differently from that day forward, and the respect they had for them began to diminish.

🩵DEAL WITH GOD AND GAIN HIS FORGIVENESS
By your past acts of immorality, you sinned against God. So, go before Him, repent, and ask for His forgiveness, and He will willingly forgive you. Ask His Son, Jesus Christ, to come into your life and save you, and He will. Thereafter, keep quiet about your past and focus on living the kind of life God wants you to live.

❤️CONCLUSION
Heed the words of our anchor scripture. Don’t be a fool in your marriage. Your spouse doesn’t need to know the details of your filthy past. It’s not part of what you vowed to share in marriage, so don’t bring it into your midst. It’s filthy, as you well know. So, leave it in the past.🤎🏉
