DRINK WATER ONLY FROM YOUR POT
READ: Proverbs 5:15-20
[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?
MEMORISE: Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things. And thus let the marriage bed be undefiled (kept undishonored); for God will judge and punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and adulterous. (Hebrews 13:4)
EXPOSITION
Godliness with contentment is great gain (1 Tim. 6:6). God knows what is good for everyone; the reason He brought Eve from Adam's rib. Adam and others animals in the garden couldn't be compatible. They were not met for his soul.
In our text for today, we are enjoined to drink water only from our pots. You can only be sure if the cleanness and sanctity of your own pot. Couples are not allowed to go outside of wedlock for any enjoyment with other opposite or same sexes.
Everyone has been given his/her own wife/husband who is particularly and specially made for him/her. As Christians, there are some issues which are not to be discussed among us, including fornication, adultery, homosexuality, lesbianism, etc. (Gal. 5:19; Eph. 5:3; 1 Tim. 1:10).
In addition, marriage pots are only meant for the married, and not for boys and girls, as we have it today. Many, including God's ministers, have been swallowed up in the pit, while fetching water from other people's pot (Prov. 22:14; 23:27). Lack of contentment leads to covetousness and escalates to all kinds of vices which can send one into hell.
Dear believer in Christ, you never can tell what lies in wait inside another man's pot. Snakes, scorpions and other deadly things can be lying in wait for thieves in others people's farm. Polish your wife/husband to suit your taste. If you are caught in this Word, refrain, and return to God, now. Sinners, why will you die?
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, have mercy on me and cleanse me in any way I have defiled myself.
2. Oh Lord, help our youths to wait for Your timing for their lives in the choice of their life partners.
3. Pray that God should deliver our teeming youths in schools, places of apprenticeship, and workplaces who are playing with and raring the lions of the sins of fornication and adultery.
