READ: JOB31:1
Women are
Satan’s cheapest tools. In his grand scheme, Satan has used the weaker sex to
destroy the strong. Many mighty ones have fallen at the feet of the weaker sex.
Christian history is replete with stories of how champions have fallen flat on
their face through women usually perceived as weak and harmless. We all know
the story of the wife of Potiphar. She was attracted to Joseph and tried to
seduce him. This led Joseph to prison. The woman, for sure, is now in hell.
Another woman wanted to marry King Herod at all costs. John the Baptist advised
her against this. As a result of his advice, he was beheaded. This woman and
those who beheaded John the Baptist are sure languishing in hell now. Satan has
other baits he uses to trap people. He uses our eyes, which the Lord has given
us to behold any person on whom He has put His glory. This is what he did to
Ananias and Sapphira. They saw someone praised for his genuine act of selling
his land and bringing the money into the purse of the apostles. They wanted to
be like him but used a wrong method. They ended up in hell. Job said something
important in Job 31:1 and 7-8: “I have made a covenant with my eyes; why
then should I look upon a young woman?” “…my heart walked after my
eyes…then let sow, and another eat; yes, let my harvests be rooted out.”What
he said here is what befalls those who cannot control their eyes.Job went on in
Job31:12: “For that would be a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root
out all my increase.” Anybody who fornicates or commits adultery is
like someone who has put hot coals on his or her chest. There is no way you can
put hot coals on your chest and not get burn. The sin of fornication and
adultery has great consequences attached to them. If you allow the opposite sex
to lead you astray, you will find the consequences unbearable.
MEMORIZE:
JOB31:1 –I have made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I look upon a
young woman?
