SEXUAL REORIENTATIONS, SPIRITUAL SECURITY AND STABILITY
By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi
Gen 6:4-5 KJV “There were giants in the earth in those days;
and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men,
and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old,
men of renown. And God saw that the
wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the
thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
The bible
exposition commentary describes the events of Genesis 5:28-6:8 in this light “ God
saw the people of that day as "fallen ones," while men saw these
people as mighty leaders. Even today, much of what is admired by the world is
rejected by the Lord (Luke 16:15). When the Sethites compromised by mingling
with the Cainites, they fell from God's blessing. God was grieved that they
married godless Cainites, choosing wives as they pleased without considering
God's will (Gen 6:2). In doing this, they endangered the fulfillment of the
3:15 promise; for how could God bring a Redeemer into the world through an
unholy people? The people of that day "married and were given in marriage"
(Matt 24:37-39) and thought nothing of the warning that Enoch and Noah gave
about the coming judgment. (from The Bible Exposition Commentary: Old Testament

Cain murdered his
brother Abel in cold blood out of jealousy and started a race of bullies(giants from Hebrew word ‘nephil’ ) . God found a servant in Seth . He
began a race of God worshipers (Sons of God) unfortunately; this could not be
sustained after Seth’s death: there was intermingling between the tyrants and the sons of Seth leading to an overwhelming increase in wickedness. This is what happens
when moral boundaries are not defined in families .The same is playing out in
some churches,where in a bid to be socially relevant ,sexual boundaries are no longer defined
and this has increased the rate of infidelity and perversion among God’s people with ever –increasing wickedness. The most effective form of demon possession is through sex (1Cor.6:15-18) caused by lack of boundaries.
The scriptures clearly spells out these boundaries .Incest –sex with near relatives(Lev.18:10-18) Immediate family (Lev.18:6-9) Fornication -Promiscuity(Deut.22:23-25)Adultery (Deut.22:22)Prostitution (Deut.23:17-18)Perversion -Homosexuality /lesbianism(Lev.18:22)Bestiality –sex with animals (Lev.18:23) Jesus Christ condemned sexual sins equating it with murder (Mark7:21) The restriction placed on sexual orientation protects the purity of sex. These boundaries were set by God because of His Holiness and they serve to protect us against physical and emotional harm. The full potentials of the sexual experience can only be harnessed by living within the boundaries of sexual purity.

Sex education
should be brought to the fore in raising children, they should be made to
understand that God created sex to be an intimate bonding experience between a
husband and wife .Sexual sins should not be treated with levity, silence on this issue means acceptance:
grace is not a license to indulge in sin. Sin kills marriages, economies, communities
and frustrates grace for prosperity. Whatever is obtained through sexual sin
does not give peace.
Children should be made to understand that God
has made provisions for the fulfillment of their sexual desires within the
boundaries of marriage between a husband (male) and wife (female) (Gen.2:23-24)
early enough (5 years ) before friends and society does and while taking a righteous stand on sex
they should not hate persons with a different sexual orientation since God doesn’t (John3:16) but seek for ways to share God’s
unconditional love with them. As you receive Jesus Christ as lord and savior and
read this now, receive grace for protection against sexual scandals in Jesus
name.
