Temptation
« on: July 31, 2007, 04:56 PM »

I met a guy, and the Chemistry was shocking, I have always been someone in control of my feelings but this caught me off guard.
He felt the same way and asked me for a relationship, Luckily for me though i still had some sense to check out some information on him and i discovered he ws married.
He came to see me yesterday and i told him as much as i have feelings for him I cant go out with him because he is married.
My sisters if I tell you that this is easy on me i am lying. I cant work, I cant think, for once in my life I seem to loose control of my sense of reasoning, every minute i feel like picking up the phone to call him but i will not. I am not a saint but i know the last thing i will do in my life is go out with a married man.
Please I need encouragement, Nairalanders please dont let me fall

what the doritos are you talking about, you already know what the right thing to do is so do it. you don't need any encouragement from us.  If you pick up that phone and call that man we'd all be disappointed in you.

Even if i no hear anybody i go hear your own , thank you.
I cant delete his number because we partner with thier organisation, however I will get someone else to handle any meeting I will need to have with him for now till i get over it. However I will have to attend group meetings

've had a close shave with a married woman before and I almost gave in o! It was not easy though, but I was really HAPPY with myself that I walked away at point Zero. So, keep afloat and don't allow devil to cheat you. Wink

Thank you all very much. I was able survive without calling him yesterday and for me the first 24 hours are usually the most critical. I believe its half over.
@Boondoggle,
thanks, usually people who have not been through this will not understand how it feels, I use to feel Ii could never happen to me but this proved to me that no human being is perfect.
they say a problem shared is half solved but now i say a problem shared is 90% solvede.
I cant say thank you enough

This is a very simple issue. Ask urself if u want to marry a married man and if the answer is YES, then in increase the tempo of the relationship and if the answer is no, halt the relationship.

There is no magic about it.

I wish u well in your choice

Honey, you will not fall. I went through the same thing 2 years ago. You may be surprised to find that several Christians go through the same thing. It's called a "crush." It just happened that most men crushed on in the past were married-The devil knew that I was interested in the "family" kind of guys that were ready to settle down so he tempted me. You see, the devil will always have a substitute for God's children. Unfortunately, some settle for these substitutes because they see it as "at least having something." I refused to settle and after passing a few temptations, he got tired and left me alone, only to come back with stronger temptations. I could not fight the devil's temptations on my own so all forces in Heaven was with me. The minute I declared in my heart that I could not and will not have a relationship with a married man- The war started. My reason for not wanting this was not because it does not "look" right but because I will never be able to sleep at night. When I gave my life to Christ, I literally did that: "gave" everything to him (including all my desires) I laid it all out on the alter. The Holy Spirit came to dwell in me because I invited Him.

But enough about me.  Cheesy

My advice to you (based on my experience) is this: Continue to earnestly seek the Lord about these feelings. If you allow yourself to be led by your flesh-you will reap decay. I know it is hard to crucify the flesh (but that is what Christ meant when He said we will have to suffer certain things.) This is what I prayed: "Lord, now you know I have had a crush on this man for some time now. unfortunately, I just realised that he is married and I know that it is against your will for me to do this. Therefore, I need your help and I need it fast!! Holy Spirit-please take control of my actions and my words and Christ do what whatever you have to do to keep our (me and the married man) paths from crossing. I am certain that I have prayed your will because it is according to your word, I thank you for answering it and I look forward to having a different outlook on this man and that he also will lose that kind of interest he has in me. I have prayed this in Christ's name. Amen!

Girl, If you believe that prayer, I have no doubt that by tomorrow, your feelings for this man will change. You just gotta mean it because God looks at the heart and cannot be mocked. I know it is hard but He knows your struggles. Don't forget to ask for more GRACE-you are going to need it. Before you know it, you will look back at your thread and laugh.

Take care and know that you are in my prayers love.

Agape!

And Amen, Thanks for the prayers. Thank you all so much you all have given me confidence.
Went for a meeting in his office today and I could not believe how calm i was, he tried to make me uncomfortable during my presentation but God gave me grace and strenght. I maintained a profesional attitude through out the meeting, he tried getting me alone but i made sure i was always surrounded by my collegue who did not know what was happening.
Thank you all you made it possible. But please keep praying for me to to completly get over this, so that i will be able to be alone with him when i have to and not feel anything because i cannot keep delegating others to go for meetings with him or making my collegue accompany me. It will seem strange

It's good if you can break the bond that attract you to him as long as you dont want to go with him. it doesnt matter if he's married or not,the issue is you dont want a married person.

My sister, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak!!! but that is not an excuse o.
We should all learn to look beyond the immediate gratification of SIN and fix out mind on the guilt  that always follows it. And, also pray and ask for His grace.
Goosh! IT IS NOT EASY. .  .at times I feel like running out of myself!!!   Even great Apostle Paul said that the good he wanted to do, he do not, but found himself doing what he did not want to do. Then he cried out "Who will deliver me from this body of SIN"  but by His grace we have overcome Grin Grin Grin

@ godsgirl,
where 've you been?  

Kinda like your prayer. How do you pray this kind of prayer? quietly, aloud, once, continuously, and when? anytime?
