★ MY SERMON NOTES
@ NDIC/DMO Fellowship
Central Business District,
Garki - Abuja
31st May, 2016
* Speaker: Pastor Ambrose Nwogu
* Topic: Why should I Save Sex until Marriage?
1. God Commands that we abstain from sexual immorality
★ Exodus 20:14 → "You shall not commit adultery."
→ God as your father knows what is good for you. He knows the danger in pre-marital and extra-marital sex, and He says 'don't do it'
→ Like babies, we sometimes do not understand God's plan for us, but obedience is to our advantage.
2. There are dangers inherent in sex before marriage such as:
(a) Sexually transmitted diseases of all kinds
→ some of them are incurable
→ treatment is expensive in most cases
(b) Unwanted pregnancy
→ Ladies are usually at the receiving end
→ This is something that can destroy a person's life
→ Many boys deny the ladies when it pregnancy sets in
→ Confusion sets in when the issue of pregnancy is involved
→ Premarital sex opens the door for confusion at all levels
3. The body is not meant for Sexual Immorality
★ 1 Corinthians 6:13 →" Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body."
4. The feeling of Worthlessness
→ When a person engages in sexual immorality, it leads to a feeling of worthlessness before God and before men
* When a young lady looses her virginity, she 'looses it again'.
→ The circle of abuse never stops once it starts!
→ It is like a chain reaction
* A young person who does not maintain his/her stand becomes a disgrace to God, parents and society at large
★ Prayer:
Father, help me to overcome
Every temptation to loose my chastity.
Cleanse me, uphold me.
Make me whole again.
I do not want to feel worthless in my life
Help me never to trivialize your commandments
