I was once single but very stupid when I was very young. My being stupid isn’t according to man’s standard or judgment but it was defined based on God’s standard of understanding.
Whether you believe it or not, there are many Christian singles out there who are single but stupid, engaged but foolish, married but having no sense. Please pardon my use of harsh word but the truth is this: God’s judgment will be harsh on every children of disobedience on that day of reckoning.
I was once in some relationship as single and I tolerate the not-too-bad things others tolerated. Truth be told, just like many Christians out there, I appeared as a saint but deep within, sin is eating me deep.
I was on the floor asking for forgiveness and repented but before you know it, I was back in the act. Like I once felt that some things are not-too-bad, there are many out there too who feel same in their relationship.
What are the not-too-bad things many singles do in their relationship?
1. Phone sex
No thanks to mobile phones and devices with Internet facilities. When the likes of Nokia 3310, Sendo X and other first generation mobile phones were out, there’s a bit of purity in many singles’ relationship.
But as technology improves, immoralities gained momentum. Now that the world is a global village, phone sex amongst singles has become global.
You can engage in phone sex in your room with someone in another country or continent and you’re both in the mood.
What an act of uncleanness! The use of mobile phones to heighten sexual pleasure between two people either by conversation, chat or sex with the aid of apps such as Facebook, whatsapp, 2go and the likes.
Many singles indulge in phone sex and believe it’s not-too-bad.
It doesn’t matter if you’re going to be married, phone sex is sin and God frowns at it.
Are you indulging in such act and you feel its nothing bad? See, God’s standard of holiness is high. You must measure up to it because He won’t downgrade Himself to come to your level.
Remember, no unclean thing, including persons shall inherit the kingdom of God. Whether they have phone sex, text or in conversation, it is bad.
2. Erotic conversations
Lots of singles are made to believe that there’s nothing wrong in erotic conversations since they’re not committing the very act.
Don’t be deceived, there’s a thin line between love and lust. It doesn’t take too long to cross the Rubicon. You cannot take the fire of immoralities in your bosom and your clothes (bodies) wouldn’t be burned.
There’s a level you get to that saying “I love you” becomes erotic. You know what I mean?
That situation where you talk about sensual affection and desires. The moment you talk about sacred body parts such as I love your breast, your lips etc.
All of these conversations, no matter how pleasurable it may seem, pollutes your mind and weakens your relationship with God. It also introduces dullness to your spirit man because it’s immoral and unclean.
3. Sexual immoralities
To those who justify that there nothing wrong with the likes of kissing, petting, caressing and fondling each other’s body, whether verbally or physically, it’s no other thing but sin.
A thing isn’t called sin because the society tells you. An act is immoral when God defines it to be.
If all these acts characterize your relationship as single or engaged, you’re practicing sexual immoralities and it would be best you desist from the act.
God frowns at sexual immoralities no matter how good the society defines or proves it to be right. It’s called youthful lust.
And in case you don’t know, the not-too-bad things you engage in your relationship are enough to lead you to hell. Even a habitual look of nude pictures is bad.
4. Exchanging nude pictures
There are some things many do that they cannot be proud of exposing it in public. One of these things is exchanging nude pictures.
It is the greatest height of uncleanness and immoralities to be exchanging nude pictures of yourself with another person. It doesn’t matter if he’s your boyfriend, girlfriend or prospective partner.
Many do it to increase sexual passion, it’s so shameful and immoral.
Whether your friend will not expose it or not doesn’t mean, it’s a sin against God and your body.
5. Masturbation
The devil is smart, he has no other gospel than the doctrine of doom. What he does to people is to make some act justifiable or seen as nothing bad.
Many believe that masturbation, self-servicing, exciting oneself, ‘wanking’ or other names that is often called isn’t a sin.
They’re made to believe that it is better than committing the likes of fornication, adultery, rape or incest.
How can I control my sexual urge if I don’t masturbate? See, God has given you the power to control yourself than to be controlled by your desire.
Masturbation is sin, whether it’s done as singles or married. The summary of all these acts is that they’re immoral and unclean.
Brethren, I’m not writing this to make myself seem overly righteous or holy. I have once fought the battle before, I have been defeated but now He has given me victory over it. And my complete victory comes by dying daily and the day I finish my race on earth.
Are you engaging in such act in your relationship whether as single, engaged or married? This is time to repent and come back to God.
Ask God for forgiveness, repent and quit the relationship if you’re not married. It’s better to stop the not-too-bad things before they hinder you from gaining entry into the kingdom of God.
If you die in that state of life in your relationship, will God say to you “depart from me you workers of iniquity” or He will say “welcome thou faithful and obedient servant?”
