YOUR HEAD AND YOUR BED

Scripture:
‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.’
(MATTHEW 4: 4B)

๐ŸคŽ๐ŸŒ„๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ‚YOUR HEAD AND YOUR BED
๐ŸคŽA fulfilling marital intimacy in the marriage bed begins with positive, Bible-based thoughts about sex in the head. Why?
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚It is because what you have in the HEAD is what you’ll do on the BED. Chuck Swindoll put it very succinctly when he said, “Thinking correctly about marital intimacy lays the groundwork for enjoying it fully. A fulfilling experience in the bed begins with right thinking in the head.”
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚In view of this, it becomes important for you to know what God’s Word says about sexual intimacy in marriage. So, “download” all of God’s counsel on sex into your head. What’s in the head will flow into the bed. Find below some of the things God’s Word says.

๐ŸคŽ๐ŸŒ„๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ‚THE BODY IS EXCELLENT
๐ŸคŽGod’s Word reveals that God created the human bodyโ€”male and femaleโ€”and that they are very good (Genesis 1:31). This should be a consistent part of our mentality.

๐ŸคŽ๐ŸŒ„๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ‚THE SEXUAL ACT IS NOT DIRTY
๐ŸคŽGod’s Word also says that the sexual act in marriage is honourable, dignified, pure, and undefiled (Hebrews 13:4). Again, this should be a permanent part of our mindset. Why? It is because, just as we said earlier, what you have in your head is what you’ll do in the bed. Your thoughts and beliefs shape how you act, including how you conduct yourself on the marriage bed during sexual intimacy with your spouse. Scripture also buttresses this when it says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7).

๐ŸคŽ๐ŸŒ„๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ‚MORE KNOWLEDGE, MORE LIGHT, MORE LIBERTY
๐ŸคŽWhen you further understand from the book of Proverbs that sexual intimacy in marriage is the drinking water of married couples, which God Himself urges them to drink freely (Proverbs 5:15), the volume of spiritual light in your mind increases and intensifies, resulting in a mighty floodlight of knowledge that fills your love life (Psalm 119:130).
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚Even though your physical eyes cannot see this light, you feel its powerful rays. How? Through the sexual confidence it infuses into your entire mind and body. That is why the Bible says that “the righteous are bold as a lion.” Knowledge emboldens. The more knowledge and understanding you gain from God’s Word concerning the sexual aspect of marriage, the freer you become with your spouse on the bed of love.

๐ŸคŽ๐ŸŒ„๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ‚THE HELPER IS RIGHT INSIDE OF YOU!
๐ŸคŽWhen you grow to the point where you understand that one of the ministries of the Blessed Holy Spirit is to guide you into “all truth” (John 16:13), including the truths concerning your sexual life, your sexual boldness soars to new heights.
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of power, and of love (all the various kinds and levels of love), and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). When you understand that He is inside you to help, teach, guide, reveal, and comfort you in your marital intimacy as well as in your spiritual life, your sexual confidence will soar to entirely new orbits!

๐ŸคŽ๐ŸŒ„๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ‚YOUR CASE IS DIFFERENT
๐ŸคŽTherefore, when you hear unbelievers complaining that they are having problems getting an erection when sleeping with their wives, silently exempt yourself from their experience. The Scripture says:
“Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.” (Isaiah 8:12).
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚When people around you say that male sexual potency declines after the age of forty because of a “midlife crisis,” do not join them! As the Scripture above says, do not fear what they fear. Why? Because you are different!

๐ŸคŽ๐ŸŒ„๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ‚WHEN FEDERAL INSPECTORS CAME VISITING
๐ŸคŽAs I write this, I remember what happened many years ago when I taught in a secondary school.
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚At one time, we were informed that inspectors from the Federal Ministry of Education, Lagos, would be visiting. Even when inspectors were expected from the State Ministry of Education, Makurdi, some teachers became anxious. How much more when they were coming from the Federal Ministry of Education, Lagos? There was fear among the teaching staff. However, I could not quite understand the reason for such deep dread. They were not coming to sack anyone, were they? Well, I was born again, so I completely insulated myself from the panic.
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚Then the dreaded inspectors finally came. When one of them walked into my Literature-in-English class as I was teaching Ngลฉgฤฉ wa Thiong’o’s WEEP NOT, CHILD, I remained calm and composed. In fact, I was almost oblivious to his presence, even though I saw him clearly. Surprisingly, he sat through the lesson until the very end.
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚As I walked out of the classroom on my way back to the staff room, he came behind me and called out softly. I stopped, turned, and greeted him respectfully. He shook my hand and asked my name, and I told him. He then asked where I came from, and I told him the name of my village. Then he said, “I have never heard anyone teach WEEP NOT, CHILD the way you did today.”
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚I smiled, thanked him, and continued my walk to the staff room.
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚So, what is the point here? It is this: do not let the general opinion, feelings, or sentiments of others dictate your mindset. Live by what God’s Word says. Do not fear simply because everyone else is afraid. You are different.
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚If every husband around you is complaining of erectile dysfunction (impotence), do not join them. You are different, provided you are a born-again child of God.
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚And if, peradventure, you encounter impotence, quickly remember that Jesus Christ, the Resurrection and the Life, lives inside you. Pray in faith, and you will experience “manhood resurrection.”

๐ŸคŽ๐ŸŒ„๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ‚CONCLUSION
๐ŸคŽAs a believer, your whole life, including your sexual life in marriage, ought to be anchored in the Word of God. That is why God says we should live by every word that proceeds from His mouth (Matthew 4:4).
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚Always remember that God’s Word says you are the seed of Abraham (Galatians 3:29), the man who was still fully potent at well over one hundred and forty years of age and took another wife. As his spiritual descendant, you have no business accepting impotence at any age. Stand upon these truths and enforce them into your experience. That is what it means to live by faith.
๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿ‚Re-read this message from time to time, live accordingly, and yours will be a consistently strong and robust bedroom life. ๐ŸŒ„๐ŸŒ…
