Actually, my focus is on those that have some form of
influence with these men (their mothers, sisters, cousins, friends, pastors
etc). My aggravation is when these influencers begin to sing the ‘99% of
(African) men cheat’ song so that they won’t have to tell the man the home
truth. They have no qualms insinuating that the woman must have done something
to cause the man to cheat.
I was in a public place with perhaps more men than women. A
woman ‘preacher’ decided to ‘preach’ to everyone with a megaphone…She kept
harping on how women should be godly, virtuous bla bla bla (I have no qualms
with that). Then she got to marriage matters. She kept telling women to be
virtuous wives etc… She finally landed on women married to adulterous men…She
kept telling the women what they were doing ‘wrong’. I wonder what possessed
her to ask herself why she was not addressing the men. She then said ‘Let’s
leave the men to God’…WHAT??????????? We can take the women to the cleaners but
we’ll leave the men to God? I felt like grabbing her megaphone to help God tell
the men His mind. Thank God that I am a believer, lol. Then she started one
unholy gist about how God ‘punished’ one adulterous man who died from HIV but
his wife who continued to sleep with her confirmed adulterous husband was
miraculously saved…I am so glad that I am a believer…I don’t know what I could
have done if I wasn’t a believer, lol.
I came across 2 posts yesterday of women dealing with
adultery (they are the ones I talked about earlier). The ‘counsel’ I read from
the women made me want to cry ‘Come, Lord Jesus, come. If it’s too early for
that, please send angels to knock some sense into Your children’. It’s like I
missed the memo where God said that adultery is no longer a sin.
Then, all these ‘counsels’ of ‘If you don’t give it
(whatever ‘it’ is) to him, another woman will give it to him outside….' Is
adultery no longer a sin? Will we continue to look while the enemy finishes our
testimony with this evil of adultery?
Scriptures to ponder on…
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the
son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto
you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes; and of them shall be
taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying,
The Lord make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon
roasted in the fire; because they have committed villainy in Israel, and HAVE COMMITTED
ADULTERY WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS’ WIVES, and have spoken lying words in my name,
which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the Lord.
(Jeremiah 29:21-23)
Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the
Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no
truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and
killing, and stealing, AND COMMITTING ADULTERY, they break out, and blood
toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth
therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of
heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away (Hosea 4:1-3)
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these,
ADULTERY, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness (Galatians 5:19)
