OPEN HEAVEN 6 JUNE 2019 READ: Proverbs 5:15-21 (KJV)
15. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
17. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.
18. Let thy fountain be blessed; and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
19. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
20. And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21. For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 26, Jeremiah 50:2-16
MESSAGE: Whichever way you look at it, marriage is honourable, and this is why those who have rebelled against God in the sexual orientation want to cloak there dishonourable lifestyle with the honour God has bestowed on marriage.

If discovering and choosing to love a person is beautiful and courtship is exciting, solemnising a union in a wedding ceremony is divine.
After a couple is join together in holy matrimony and God’s blessing are pronounced on them, they become partner in a sacred institution.
The sanctity of marriage is not a figment of human imagination. God indeed designed marriage to be holy, and so it should be approached with great respect and due veneration.
This is why today’s memory verse describe marriage as honorable and advises against defiling it, with a strong warning that God’s judgment will fall on anyone who indulges in sexual immorality in marriage.

Another reason why God created the institution of marriage is the need to satisfy sexual desire within an environment of accountability and responsibility.
God wants marriage couple to find sexual satisfaction in marriage (1 Corinthians 7:2). In His infinite wisdom, He provided marital sex a wise alternative to infidelity and sexual disorder.
Today’s Bible reading says you should drink water out of your own cistern, meaning that sexual thirst should only be satisfied within the privacy of the marriage.

Furthermore, sexual body parts and sexual acts are not public property to be share with strangers (Proverbs 5:16-17). “Strangers” in this context refers to anyone who has not “known” you through marriage (Genesis 4:1).
Only within marriage did God bless uninhibited sexual joys (Proverbs 5:18-19). Take note that God deliberately use the words “at all times” and “always” in Proverbs 5:19, to remove limit from a married couple’s sexual enjoyment of each other (1 Corinthians 7:3-5).
Brethren, please abstain from sex outside marriage, for God as promised to judge all fornicators and adulterers (Hebrews 13:4).
Your momentary sinful pleasure is liable for eternal judgment, so ask yourself, is it really worth it (Proverbs 5:20)?
