Many have heard of Canaan, the promised land. And that’s just all they know.
Well, the truth is that it had not always been a promised land.
Just like other countries, it originally belonged to it’s people, the Canaanites.
It was a land that flowed with milk and honey. It was a well blessed and a vastly endowed land.
God, however, decided to destroy the inhabitants because of their horrible Sins. He gave them hundreds of years to repent but they refused(Genesis 15:16)
In Canaan land, they didn’t just sin, the people institutionalized Sin and made it their customary way of life.
When you read the whole of Leviticus chapter 18, you’ll be appalled to see Adultery and several other heinous forms of sexual immorality fully accepted and deeply entrenched in the land as their culture.
The men slept with their mothers (vs. 7), their father’s wives(vs. 8), their wives sisters(vs. 18), a woman and her daughter(vs. 17), etc.
Hear what God Said:
“For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled”(Leviticus 18:27)
The Canaanites practiced the Sins highlighted above and much more because they said it was their Culture.
Sir/Ma, Culture is the voice of the devil. It’s tenets are the diabolical ordinances from the Cult of Satan and that’s why they’re called Culture.
Many of the devil’s tenet’s today include sayings such as: “Men are polygamous by nature”. Another is that: “It’s not manly to stay with one wife: you should have a mistress at the side”. Here are others: “Is sex food?” “If you let your husband sleep with you so freely he’ll think that you’re a loose woman.” There are many other such sayings flying about. I once heard a woman say, “Where is it done that a woman would have a husband and not have a male lover outside?” She said this right in a bus with other passengers including this writer hearing.
There are communities where the concept of marital fidelity is completely foreign. Their women secretly sleep with other men even though they’re married. It only becomes an offence if she’s caught in the act.
What’s our concern in all these? Our concern is to unmask Culture for what it is: the voice of the devil. It doesn’t matter whether it’s popular culture or a morden day view that’s making the rounds. They’re all coming from the same old Deceiver.
It’s the same voice that spoke through the Serpent and misled Adam and Eve to their ruin in Eden.
Sir/Ma, please hear this: The voice of God comes through the Scriptures. And that’s why the Songwriter sang:
“Holy words long preserved for our walk in this world;
they resound with God’s own heart,
O, let the ancient words impart;
words of life, words of hope,
give us strength, help us cope;
in this world where’er we roam,
ancient words will guide us home.
Ancient words, ever true,
changing me, changing you;
we have come with open hearts,
O, let the ancient words impart.”
Let the Holy Voice in the Scriptures dictate your conduct, thoughts and utterances in your relationship with your beloved Spouse.
It’s a privilege to be born again and to have the Spirit of God indwelling you to teach and guide you in your love life and marriage. Gratefully maximize that privilege by obeying all God’s command on Marriage with joy.
The result will be a most sweet and romantic marriage that never ceases to thrill you and your mate.
As for those who choose to obey the Culture that promotes infidelity and extramarital affairs, God’s counsel is: REPENT AND BELIEVE ON JESUS CHRIST. If you don’t, then Culture will ultimately give you to the Vultures just as it did the Canaanites.
