IN YESTERDAY’S DEVOTIONAL PIECE, we noted that each time you come together for sexual intimacy with your Spouse, God is giving you an opportunity to host them to a Sexual Love Feast! It’s an opportunity to GIVE! Infact, you’re there basically to give before receiving because it is more blessed to give than to receive!(Acts 20:35)
So, come into every session of intimacy with the mindset of giving. Our anchor scripture is a command to GIVE (RENDER) and not to receive. Why didn’t God say, “Go And Receive Sexual Satisfaction From Your Mate?” It’s because He knows that in the cause of RENDERING, you’ll receive the SATISFACTION that you need in greater measures.
In giving sexual love to your beloved Spouse, your attitude needs to be warm, friendly and even disarming. You must give with a demeanor that will enhance hearty and happy acceptance by your Spouse and make them always look forward to being with you for sexual intimacy.
In Romans 12, we are taught that those who give should do so with simplicity! Applied to the marriage bedroom, it means: “Give sexual intimacy to your Mate with all humility”. Do it in the spirit of service. See your Spouse as your Client needing your service and give it to them with cheerfulness, as was taught in yesterday’s devotional piece. Don’t wear an air of superiority and make your spouse feel that you’re doing them “a very special favour” in consenting to sleep with them. No. The handsome or beautiful body you have is a gift you received from God. You never bargained or worked to have it. God gave it to you knowing that you would marry your Spouse. So, He actually prepared you for your Spouse. Therefore, it isn’t proper for you to see yourself as a sexual Benefactor to whom your Mate should be endlessly thankful for every session of intimacy. No. Freely you’ve received, freely give! Make yourself available when ever your Mate needs you.
Another attitude that will heighten your bedroom practice is carrying out sexual intimacy as a divine service you’re rendering FOR the glory of God. It’s not my idea. It’s from the Word of God. God wants you to do each and every thing you do: FOR HIS GLORY. This includes your sexual performances in your marriage bedroom with your Spouse.
Look at these scriptures:
“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or WHATSOEVER YE DO, DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD.”(1 Corinthians 10:31)
“And WHATSOEVER YE DO, DO IT HEARTILY, AS TO THE LORD, AND NOT UNTO MEN”(Colossians 3:23) What are these two scriptures saying? Applied to your bedroom life, they’re saying “make love to your Spouse in such a way that God will be glorified AND as an act of service you’re rendering unto the Lord Himself and not to your Spouse.”
When you have these scriptures at the back of your mind and as your motivation during intimacy with your Spouse, they’ll help you to put in your very best.
Finally, always remember that we are all stewards of the gifts God has given us and shall at the end of life’s long day give an account of how we spent the gifts entrusted to us, including our sexual bodies. Those who used theirs to make money and buy cosmetics and clothes will give an account. Those who shared theirs with blue, black and green Side-chicks will also give account. Those who used theirs as an instrument with which to punish their Mate will render an account too. And those who used theirs to the glory of God by serving their Spouse cheerfully, happily, joyfully and generously will give account as well.
“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”(Revelation 22:11-12)
