The Mystery Behind Sexual Temptations by Interesting15: 6:51am On Oct 28, 2018
by Sunday Akanni Moshood

Truthfully, sex is something delicate that should be approached with carefulness. It has extreme powers and is more than the physical pleasures people attach to it. Sex can determine how far a person will go in life, and it has even cut short the lives of too many to count.

Something as important as this should be treated with utmost carefulness. Any discussion related to sex should be held with care. In other words, humans shouldn't hurriedly embrace every sex-related opinion or teaching, but should carefully subject everything to intense examination. Before embracing anything anyone is saying about sex, first seek to know the source of the person's knowledge or idea. Before you embrace a sex-related teaching, opinion or idea, ensure it is in line with the will of the "Main Source"

The "Main Source" is God. He created everything - including humans and sex, and He alone is All-Knowing. Anything God is saying about sex is the most authentic info, and anything contrary being said by anyone else should be discarded.

Now, God said sex should be between two married persons (a husband and his female wife) only. Humanity, one way or the other, is already aware of this. I mean, 'physically', almost every human being has heard of admonitions like "Sex should only be between two married persons". From another angle, 'naturally', nature itself keeps saying there is something wrong with any type of sexual activity that's not between a married husband and his wife. Or, why do, even 'godless people', indulge in premarital or extra-marital sex only behind closed doors? Why won't an atheist woman indulging in extra-marital affairs confidently tell her husband she is having sex with another man? She might not believe in God, but nature is telling her it is wrong.

Sexual Temptation

So, one way or another, everyone knows (either they will admit it or not) that sexual activities outside marriage is wrong. But, why do people keep indulging in illicit sexual activities despite knowing it wrongness and it repercussions? This is where sexual temptation comes in.

Sexual temptations are things/persons/circumstances that are meant to lure people into illicit sexual activities. Due to space, let me break it down this way.

1. Sexual temptations are satanic and purposeful: Scripture says the thief (satan) comes not but to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). The devil hates humans so much and is always desperate to manipulate and get us ruined. He is aware he won't achieve his evil aims except he lures us out of God's Protective Arena and make us go contrary to the Will of God. And so, he put in place his agents (agents of sexual temptations) to lure us into sexual immorality.

2. Sexual temptations comes as traps: A trap will never come łike a trap, hence it would chase potential preys away. Traps instead appears innocent and harmless. Satan's agents of sexual temptations always appear innocent and harmless too. A lady trying to lure a guy into sexual immorality so as to tie his destiny spiritually, will come as an 'innocent' and 'fresh' girl, and the guy will never know she is a devil on a dangerous mission. A guy who want to lure a lady into sex so as to share his HIV with her, will come like a nice guy that meant no harm.

The power of a trap is it secret. Once you know and identify a trap, it loses it power over you. And that's why you must get close to God so He can empower you with the Holy Spirit, who will reveal secrets to you, and show you who people really are.

3. Many humans out there are agents of sexual temptations: Many of those beautiful and handsome people you see out there are tools in the hands of satan. Many humans are not ordinary humans, but are demons in human flesh working directly for satan. They will intentionally do all it takes to make people commit sexual. They intentionally dress indecently to incite illicit sexual desires in people. They have dangerous missions.

Some other persons are unknowingly working for satan. Yes, they don't have demonic powers quite all right, but the manner they dress and their other activities makes people commit sexual sins. If your lifestyle makes people fall into sexual sins, you are working for satan too.

Generally, wisdom demands you shouldn't get too close to everyone you meet in life. Choose friends carefully and prayerfully. Sincerely, many people out there have dangerous missions.

4. Agents of sexual temptations also includes sexual provocative songs, videos, websites, apps, magazines, etc Sincerely, satan has turned so many civilization-birthed innovations into agents of sexual temptations and is using them to lure people into sexual immorality.

Remember, there are a lot of repercussions and pains associated with sexual immoralities. To be sexually chaste, you must overcome the sexual temptations out there that are poised to lure you into immorality and ruin.

Get closer to God, ask for His Help, He will Help you too.

They've come again with all these their useless quotes.

Firstly says who?
Says the bible right?
Bible Written by who?
Written by God?
How, with a pen?
Where?
How come he gave others inspiration to write the bible but none in our Generation can edit it?
How do I litmus test the inspiration of the writer of all the "Holy Books"?
If I wake up today and tell you guys today that the same God has given I Victor the inspiration to edit the books, Why will some of you argue?
If you argue, why do you then believe that which you are reading?
Wasn't it also written from someone's head? Oh!! I see a white-man wrote it. And they are next to God right?
Why can't we feed them (the whites) with our own stories like how Oduduwa created the earth bla bla with chicken and they believe?
If they don't believe it, why can't we Africans believe our own stories? Oh!! We are blacks, we are inferior?

THEY SAY THE BEST WAY TO SHOW SOMEONE THE FLAWS IN HIS WAY OF REASONING IS TO ASK HIM/HER QUESTIONS.

How is sex a bad thing sef?
If sex is a bad thing how comes the private parts don't appear after marriage?

Take for instance reproduction, a boy cannot produce sperm until he is a certain age. A girl too cannot conceive until she has come of a certain age. So why isn't the setup just like that? You know, something like Kapersky Anti-Virus where it would not work on your system because the software has been attributed to another system? People just sit down create laws and want everyone to be like them. And if you don't, Oh!! You have committed an offence.
Just like one said when we were kids that TV is a bad thing and watching it is a sin, and today the same man broadcasts on TV. How confused? Lets say it were to be in the stone age, it would have been in the bible that TV is a sin.

Growing up I heard all manner of discouraging lies about sex, how a woman changed to snake in the bedroom, bla bla. So nobody could at least give us a video showing the transformation in this modern days of mobile phones?

I feel one very ugly N.i.g.g.a who did not get a lot of women coming due to jealousy brought this law so that er'one will remain on the same level. You know that feeling when your guys are kpanshing daily but all you do is stare.

Advice, the best way to avoid temptation is to fall put. Simple!!

One major reason why sex kills destiny is the amount of mental and logistical work involved in arranging a sex session. Time and energy meant to engage in productive ventures are expended chasing fleeting pleasure.

Secondly, sex itself is energy-sapping and if abused can make one too weak to carry out productive activities.

From another angle, 'naturally', nature itself keeps saying there is something wrong with any type of sexual activity that's not between a married husband and his wife.
This is false. Naturally, marriage is a problem. Marriage is a social construct and not a natural human situation. Humans invented marriage because the natural way of sleeping with any and everybody randomly and having society awash with fatherless children wasn't optimal.


Or, why do, even 'godless people', indulge in premarital or extra-marital sex only behind closed doors? Why won't an atheist woman indulging in extra-marital affairs confidently tell her husband she is having sex with another man? She might not believe in God, but nature is telling her it is wrong.
Do married people have sex on the streets? Is it not still only behind closed doors?

Ever heard of swingers? They intentionally and with permission of their spouses engage in sexual activities with others asides their spouses.

Not trying to criticise, but you should be able to communicate your message with irrefutable points.

If you find yourselve addicted to

- Sex driven relationships

How can you free yourself from any of these? especially when you do fel remorseful anytime any of these occurs, pray and ask for forgiveness and still find yourself doing some or most of them?

Then what is stopping you from taking her to the altar and making a honest woman out of her? Do not be deceived for God is not mocked. What you have is an immoral relationship which can bears no close resemblance with marriage. I advice you to repent, suspend all sexual interactions till you have tied the knot with this lady. God be with you.

Any attempt to repress a natural flow of energy results into madness; look deep into the eyes of the anti sex advocates - the beast keeps calling.

Sex becomes tempting because the society forbade it. The same thing happened when the biblical god forbade Adam from eating a particular fruit; the urge to eat suddenly surfaced (they blamed devil for it anyway). Have you ever wonder why intelligent Adam didn't patronize the tree of life before any other tree?

look at the so called lower animals and their sex life _ no madness, no addiction, no fornication, no adultery, Why? Because there is no interference with the law of nature, no institution called marriage, no Satan to tempt, no special attachment to the feeling...

Anything forbidden becomes tempting

Thanks my man. Don't just mind those holier-than-thou mofos spreading fear and hate. How is sex bad ? What is spiritual in sex? Trump was a big time womaniser, why didn't the evil spirit in sex take his destiny ? Many of those big guys out there sleep with three to five girls at a go, yet they are still more prosperous than those that practice celibacy.

My take, don't use all your hard earned money to buy sex, don't rape, stay away from married women, use protection to avoid contractinng diseases. You are good to go bro. One cold bottle of Trophy beer for you bro.
