MESSAGE
Building healthy relationships and getting close to people, especially fellow believers, is good. Relationships, however, must be clearly defined, and they should never be allowed to become platforms for sin.
There is a level of intimacy that a boy should never have with a girl and vice versa. When you notice that you are getting so close to someone of the opposite sex such that you can hardly go one hour without thinking about that fellow, you need to reduce the level of your interaction with the fellow. Likewise, when you notice that you don’t feel okay if you don’t see or talk to a particular person of the opposite sex in a day, you need to address your closeness to that person immediately before it destroys you.
Many people have fallen into fornication because they had a seemingly harmless relationship with a ‘friend. There is a popular saying in Yorubaland that when a handshake is beginning to get to the elbow, it means that it is time to pull back. When you have a friend of the opposite sex, you must know how to set boundaries in your relationship with that fellow. If you notice that the relationship is leading you towards committing sin, withdraw completely from the fellow so that you don’t give in to temptation.
KEY POINT
Don’t allow your relationships to lead you to sin; set boundaries.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Genesis 28:1-29:35; Matthew 9:18-38
HYMN 10: Christian Seek Not Yet Repose
- Christian, Seek Not Yet Repose;
Hear Thy Guardian Angel Say,
“Thou Art In The Midst Of Foes:
Watch And Pray!” - Principalities And Powers,
Mustering Their Unseen Array,
Wait For Thy Unguarded Hours:
“Watch And Pray.” - Gird Thy Heavenly Armour On;
Wear It Every Night And Day
Ambush’d Lies The Evil One:
“Watch And Pray.” - Hear The Victors Who O’ercame;
Still They Mark Each Warrior’s Way;
All With One Sweet Voice Exclaim,
“Watch And Pray!” - Hear, Above All, Hear Thy Lord,
Him Thou Lovest To Obey;
Hide Within Thy Heart His Word:
“Watch And Pra!.” - Watch, As If On That Alone
Hung The Issue Of The Day;
Pray, That Help May Be Sent Down:
Watch And Pray.
