*TOPIC: HANDLING SEX IN MARRIAGE.*(Series 4) *Scripture Reading:* Genesis 1:31 *"God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good and He validated it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day."*(AMP) Jesus respond to the pharisees in Matthew 19 was a clear revelation that everything God created right from the beginning was good and was backed up with godly principles. *"He replied, “Have you never read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined inseparably to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.”*(19:4-6 AMP) God's creation was very good and it included the sexual part of Adam & Eve. It's sin that brings shame. Don't forget that at the beginning both Adam and Eve were both naked and were not ashamed. *”For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed or embarrassed."*(Genesis 2:24-25 AMP) Note this: *Everything evil is basically something that is good right from the beginning but is used in the wrong way. Sex, outside of marriage is sinful and shameful.* It reduces a man/woman totally to zero level and in the spirit realms, there's a network failure between such person and heaven. The Bible gives guidance for a satisfying sexual relationship in marriage. By God's Grace, by tomorrow morning, we will begin to look at the guiding rules that will help and strengthen our union. Good morning and do have a fruitful week, peace. *Prayer point:* Lord, help me to walk in your precept to have a godly relationship/marriage in Jesus Christ name. Amen! T.S. AFOLAYAN
