Thanks for the advice, am a virgin at my age, it is not as if i do not have the opportunity to have sex, i do but i no what i want, and if i engage in it i feel God presence we depart from my side, because his blessing and favour are upon me, but people don't believe me, because am currently serving, and they think I would have deflowered myself in camp, or where am serving now or during my five years in school, I pray the God that favour Mary and Esther, will favour me too, amen

Hogwash

Virginity is overrated in this part of the world.

This simplistic teaching cannot take effect on today's youth because of the information that are available to us.

You tell me that being good attracts favour from God but when I look up, I see good people suffering and on the other hand I see people like Mayweather.

You give us an example using Esther who received favour to be chosen by King Xerxes as wife because she was good, but who was King Xerxes?

Did king Xerxes receive favour to become the greatest king of his time because he was Good? I don't think so because he was one of the most blasphemous kings ever who even called himself god.

So lets make research and find out what really makes people succeed instead of spreading lies.

Op, this is not biblical teaching. Virginity does not qualify anyone for God’s favor. If anything we do can qualify us for the favor of Christ, then the birth, crusifixion, death and resurrection of Christ is needless. In this era, we are favored simply because of the relationship we have with God as his adopted sons through Christ. Growing up, I was taught that favor is undeserved mercy or kindness. The dictionary says favor is something done or granted out of goodwill, rather than from justice or for remuneration; a kind act.

Being a virgin does not mean you’d marry the best man or be the riches person on earth. In fact, being openly virtuous comes with its own share of wahala! Women will probably gang up and lie against a virgin just to discredit her. Men will lie that they’ve dated her. She’d be made to feel like an outcast because she’s chosen to live differently. She’ll be ostracized because she does not belong. Her mindset is different. Her lifestyle is different.

Ester was not the only virgin oresented to king. All the ladies oresented were virgins. She was chosen because she stood out of the crowd. While all the others dressed ostentatiously, she was dressed simply. She was wise as she listened to those who had more knowledge than her.

Mary was not the only virgin in the land. That’s why she is called highly favored. God chose to honor her amongst other virgins. God called David a man after his own heart. Yet David slept with a married woman.

Being a virgin has to do with self respect, one’s own dignity, and acknowledgement of our bodies being the temples of God and we should treat it as such. Not a means to get favor from God. We are not Christians because of the good we do. We do good because we are Christians. We are Christians because of our relationship with God the Father through the finished work of Christ. Anyways, blessings, favor.... are a byproduct of this relationship and not the focus.

Let me start by making this clarification. Please, don't think this doesn't concern you because you have had penetrative sex at some point in time, or have lost your hymen (as a female). This is actually beyond that. It is more about your current state and status - it is for anyone who have made the resolve to honour God with their body, and to embrace Sexual Purity. Of course, I'm not even ignorant of the fact that there are lots of persons who are yet to have penetrative sex quite alright, and even ladies who still have their hymen in tact, but who still indulge in other sinful sexual acts like masturbation, smooching, MouthAction, etc. Such persons are wrong if they think this is for them!

Yes, just like me (to the Glory of God), those who are yet to defile their bodies and are still with their virginity still retain numerous glorious virtues (as far as they are doing that to honour God, and are not indulging in any other form of impurity). However, know that irrespective of what you have done in the past, you are new in Christ. Scriptures says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new." I love the "new" there. It means, when Christ looks at you, He sees a brand new pure and undefiled bride! Glory to JESUS!

Let's now talk about favour (God's Favour)

Favour has to do with undeserved acts of kindness and goodness. You don't have to do something to earn it; not really based on what you did or didn't do, but the giver chose to give it.

God is a God of favour that keeps showing humanity His kindness and goodness, even when we don't deserve the least of His mercies. Because He is a Loving God, and it is His Nature to show mercy (He enjoys being Good), many times, He doesn't wait for humans to do something deserving before favouring them. ".....for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust" (Matthew 5:45). Meaning, the unjustness of the unjust won't pervert God's nature. Even those that doesn't know or acknowledge Him (yet) are still enjoying His benefits. Indeed, the unfaithfulness of humans won't affect the faithfulness of God. God is a Faithful God

However, there are certain special favours that must be qualified for. In other words, even though they are actual favour from God, they are not for everyone, but whosoever will earn them must position themselves appropriately to attract such.

In the scriptures, we saw the stories of Mary and Esther..... Two highly-favoured women.

Mary got a very big favour from God.... To become the Mother of the Lord Jesus Himself (the Most Important Personality ever known). In fact, the Angle Gabriel attested to it by calling Mary "highly favoured one" who "have found favour with God". There are other hundreds of thousands of women out there.....but it was her womb that was picked. There were tons of other virgins in Nazareth that could have been chosen......Which simply displayed God's favour.

However, ask yourself, "what if Mary was not a virgin in the first instance?". Note that there have been prophesies years back that Jesus would come through not just any kind of woman, but a virgin (Isaiah 7:14). Since the prophecy can't be altered (Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29), it means even if God loves Mary immensely and so much desired her to become the mother of the Christ, it won't have been possible if she wasn't a virgin. Therefore, because Mary was able to keep herself pure, she was able to positon herself to be in a spot that can easily attract such favour...

Indeed, it becomes easier for God to bless you with certain things when you choose to honour Him with your life.

Same it was with Esther. She was highly favoured to have being picked to become the Queen in a foreign country by King Ahasuerus of Shusan (without being the most beautiful or whatever). However, the truth is, she won't have qualified in the first place if she wasn't a virgin! If she had defiled herself beforehand, even if God has intend to make her a Queen in Shushan, and she herself has the dream of becoming one, it will have been impossible, or difficult to become a reality.

The fact is, many are living in a way that pushes them away from the position where they can easily attract the favour of God. God is always excited to bless humans with superb stuffs; but you must qualify for some of these things! Embrace Sexual Purity and flee sexual sins and other kinds of sins (premarital and extramarital sex, masturbation, pornography viewing and acting, etc)

If you are still a virgin that's honouring God with his/her virginity, please don't allow anything snatch it away from you prematurely, till you get married. Ignore the mockery and flee the temptations. Soon, it will attract favour that will make Angels declare "This one is blessed among humans of the earth".
