🍍🥑🍉Our anchor scripture for today tells us that God created Man as Male and Female.
🍍🥑🍉When He made Man, He created in him the male sexual organs. And when He created the Woman much later, He gave her sexual organs as well. Therefore, the sexual urge is in-built by God in both men and women. Each of us was born with it.
🍍🥑🍉Just like those women with big breasts never asked God for it and the men with so much beard never pleaded with God for it, so also Spouses with large sexual appetites. They never bargained for it. They grew up and discovered that they have a high level of sexual urge. So there’s nothing to blame them for. And if you’re the marriage partner of such a man or woman,, you’ll be wrong to blame God for gifting you with a wife or a husband with a extra large sexual appetite.
🍍🥑🍉Know this and know peace: the sexual urge, which is also known as the libido or sex drive is not sinful. And please hear this also: The sexual urge is not Lust! No, it isn’t.
🍍🥑🍉It therefore becomes a grave error when one spouse takes it upon themselves to take steps to “control” the sexual desire of their marriage partner.
🍍🥑🍉No person is sent into Marriage to police the sexual desire of their marriage partner. Rather, God placed you in your mate’s life to faithfully and consistently meet their sexual needs. Except on occasions when you’re on a mutually agreed prayer and fasting exercise.
🍍🥑🍉Your spouse’s sexual urge is a healthy and God-placed blessing; and that’s why blessings are pronounced on them in Scripture. Please, read:
“Let thy fountain be blessed”(Proverbs 5:18a).
🍍🥑🍉Divine blessings are declared on the husband’s “fountain” which is the physical representation of his sex drive. Since these blessings are proclaimed on the husband’s body, they’re also bestowed on the wife’s body and her sex drive.
🍍🥑🍉When you understand that your mate’s sexual urges aren’t generated by them but divinely in-built, you’ll know that it isn’t something that should make you angry, irritated and call them names or humiliate them. When you do so, you’re transgressing. This is the hard truth.
🍍🥑🍉Your Spouse’s urge for sex is like your own thirst for water or your hunger for food.
🍍🥑🍉How would you feel if on arriving home very thirsty and you head for the refrigerator to drink water, you’re rudely stopped by your spouse and told: “You can’t drink water now. You have to wait until this time tomorrow before you can drink?” You’ll feel deprived and deeply hurt, isn’t it?
🍍🥑🍉Or you come home after a hard day at work and you sit down at the dinning table to be served your lunch and your spouse says there’s no lunch. And your spouse further tells that the reason there’s no meal for you is because “you eat too much and too often!” They even tell you, “Be disciplined! Have a little bit of self-control for once”. You’ll feel deeply insulted, isn’t it.
It’s behaviour like this, by Spouses who have appointed themselves as “Sex Superintendents” in their marriages, that’s behind very many cases of infidelity and extramarital affairs.
If you’re one of the self-appointed “Sex Superintendents”, this devotional message is a loud warning to you to step down from that unlawful position you have assumed in your marriage. If you don’t, blame yourself for what becomes of you. This is no threat. It’s a divine message.
🍍🥑🍉God hasn’t appointed you to serve Him as the controller of your spouse’s sexual desire. Instead, He placed you there to minister to their sexual needs and they yours(1 Corinthians 7:3-5)
🍍🥑🍉Do that faithfully and God will be happy with you and bless you.
