Good evening everyone, am here to share a short message and May God bless us all as we read through it.

Now let's take a look at Ungodly Relationships and how it affects us negatively.


What does it mean to love someone, when you can only see them objectively. That is not real love, but objective love. A love for them as a object. We all know what we do with objects we use them for our own personal interest and gain.
When we look at love in the eyes of Christ, it was never about an objective love. But a genuine Godly love for each other. This matters because we live in a world that is so focused on our own desires. Where can love reside in a heart filled with self? God gives us the power of love through Him. Lust can’t see God, it can only see it’s own desires. Love looks past it’s own selfish desires and is willing to sacrifice for the benefit of the other. even to the point of self death.

Signs to look for in an Ungodly Relationships.


1. Abuse - Physical, Verbal, Metal or Acts
Is it physical, verbal abuse, if you find yourself in that kind of relationship leave before its too late.
You're not yet married and he's beating you black and blue and you're staying because he says he lives you LEAVE.

2.Manipulation - Doing things to benefit ones self at the cost of the others well being.

3. Destructive Addictions - Narcotics, Porn, Gambling, Extra Sexual Relations, Alcohol, Excessive Spending
We’ve all seen the horror’s of what all these addictions can create.

4. Conflicting Standards - If you are a follower of Christ and they are something other then that, your going to have issues.

5. Distorted Family Dynamics - A situation where you could be the villain and always pointed to as it’s your fault for everything in the relationship, including global warming!
Mother’s boy, Father’s Princess, Brother’s Obsession, Sister’s Correction.

The facts are simple if you are not married take your time and walk slow, get to know the person and their family. Remember they’ve spent more time with them, then they have you. So that’s where the influence will be at.
Sex in marriage is a beautiful thing and is God ordained, the Bible is clear that the Bed is undefiled (Set apart) when done in proper context. God wants you to get your freak on. Put a pole in the room, but only in the marriage context. because you become one with that person, and if you connect with someone physically then your spirit man becomes connected too.

If you have fallen short and fell into the trap of lust then know that God forgives if you repent. But like any addictions you have to run from it.

Dangers of an Ungodly Relationship

Have you been developing a close friendship with unregenerate people? Have you been ‘dating’ an unbeliever? Or have you been maintaining your relationship with a Christian in an unbiblical, worldly, carnal manner? Then, please consider the following warnings of God’s Word, and quickly deliver yourself from the displeasure of God and much heart-wrenching consequences in life.

Consider what an ungodly relationship brings upon you:

It pours contempt on Christ and the spiritual union with Him

Ungodly marriages and adulterous relationships of Christians not only despise but also pour contempt on the sanctity of your spiritual union with the Lord. So, all Christians are admonished in 1 Corinthians 6:15-20, “Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication… What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

It promotes unbelief and ungodliness

A Christian’s intimate relationship with unbelievers places him in a league that accepts and supports unbelief and unrighteousness. Hence, Scripture warns us, “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with daconduct


It propels one into sinful conduct

Christians are warned: “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners” (1 Corinthians 15:33). Close and intimate communication resulting from ungodly companions will corrupt any Christian. Anyone who thinks that he or she will be unaffected by close companionship with unregenerate people is deceived. A Christian who grows closer and closer to a non-Christian is lying if he claims that his morals have not been corrupted. The influence that an ungodly person can have on Christians should never be underestimated – “a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump” (1 Corinthians 5:6)!

It provides bad example for others

Scripture cautions us about men and women who would not only walk disorderly but also become a motivation for others to follow their ungodly example. 2 Peter 2:2 speaks of this dangerous and ensnaring scenario – “And many shall follow their pernicious ways”!

Why would you or I be a bad example of rebellion and betrayal? Instead, let us be “an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity” (1Timothy 4:12b).
