Although sexual activity is limited to married couples, destructive sexual binge has lead to the proliferation of sexual promiscuity among youngsters and adult.

More so, it was become a harsh reality on our posterity, how sexual-immorality-epidemic has become a virus menacing the society. With the shocking absence of a better measure of plummeting standard of sexual morality in the world, there has been a radical shift in sexual practices.

Our vast Cultural changes have contributed to the new sexual frontier. Placing youngsters and even adults on a fast track. Teen are becoming sexually “sensitive” at progressively tender ages, divorce rates on the hike, as well as marital infidelity and sexual immorality.

God created sex to be a good thing, only confined to one man and one woman for life as married couple but the devil has tried to redefine sex – and has done a good job in his unrelenting effort.

A recent study co-published by the Family Research Council in Washington D.C. and the Marriage and Religion Institute (MARRI) calls pornography a “quiet family killer” and states that 56% of divorces involve one party having an obsessive interest in porn. In fact, internet pornography has now surpassed financial problems as being the fastest growing cause of divorce in America.

70% of Christians struggle with porn in their daily lives, a poll taken by XXXChurch revealed.

According to compiled numbers from respected news and research organizations, every second $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography. Every second 28,258 internet users are viewing pornography. In that same second 372 internet users are typing adult search terms into search engines. Every 39 minutes a new pornographic video is being created in the U.S. It’s big business. The pornography industry has larger revenues than Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Apple and Netflix combined. 2006 Worldwide Pornography Revenues ballooned to $97.06 billion.

In March of 2002, Pastor Rick Warren, author of ‘Purpose Driven Life” conducted a survey on porn use on Pastor.com. Of the 1,351 pastors who responded, 54% of them had viewed internet pornography within the last year, and 30% of these pastors had visited a porn site within the last 30 days.

It’s quite obvious that the sinful habits of lust poses a serious threat to Christian life and work with God. Pastor are not exempted from being tempted with sexual sin. We provided three brief and vivid account of sexual sin that led them to commit suicide because they couldn’t withstand the dilemmas-

A pastor from Limpopo, South Africa took his life after he mistaken sent nude pictures to a church member on whatsup group.

Pastor Letsego of Christ Embassy, who is married, thought he was sending the nude picture to his mistress, a church member, mistakenly sent it to Church Whatsup group.

Upon realizing his mistake, he exited the group. Effort made to reach him after the shock from member was futile as he stopped taking any calls. The following day he was found hanged-dead in his rented church apartment.

Before the ugly incident some members of the church, however, suspected the two are having an extra-marital relationship but never would have imagined it will lead to this.

“Pastor’s antics have always been a cause for concern, he was always seen in the company of one of the deacons named Miriam and we suspected there was more to their friendship than meets the eye,” the church member said.

When rumour circulated about their closeness, the wife enquired of him but he denied all the allegation.

“Quizzed by his wife and congregants, he would shrug off the allegations and say as a Pastor he was a father to everyone and Miriam was his favourite Daughter,” a church member said.

In 2015, Pastor John Gibson of First Southern Baptist Church in Pearlington, Mississippi, allegedly committed suicide six days after his name was exposed by hackers of the Ashley Madison adultery website.

Gibson left a suicide note. His wife, Christi admitted he had struggled with sexual addiction and depression in the past which might cost his job.

It wasn’t so bad that we wouldn’t have forgiven it, and so many people have said that to us, but for John, it carried such a shame,” she told CNN. “What we know about him is that he poured his life into other people, and he offered grace and mercy and forgiveness to everyone else, but somehow he couldn’t extend that to himself.”

Rev. Seth Oiler, 42, of First United Methodist Church, died by suicide at his church-owned home. Oiler had been placed on leave after admitting to an affair with staff member.

As the news of his demise spread many wonder why a pastor, not to mention a father would take his own life even if he is faced the worst of dilemmas.

Oiler, Gibson and Letsego; in a quest to seek relief, never seek God but turn to death for relief, because they couldn’t stand the pain, emotional trauma, shame, remorse, betrayal and hopelessness.
