*TOPIC: HANDLING SEX IN MARRIAGE.*(Series 1) *Scripture Reading:* 1 Corinthians 7:1-2 *"Now as to the matters of which you wrote: It is good (beneficial, advantageous) for a man not to touch a woman [outside marriage]. But because of [the temptation to participate in] sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband."*(AMP) I welcome you to another glorious day. By God's Grace, on this series, we shall be looking at an important topic that's rarely touched or preached in some of our local churches. I pray that Holy Spirit should reveal His mind to us at the cause of this series in Jesus Christ name. Amen! In these days, I mean in our own generation, virginity is laughed at by many & couples are living together before marriage as we can it happening every where but God says marriage is honorable & the bed undefiled. *Sex is not shameful; only perversion or the wrong use of sex is shameful.* Talking about sex is nothing to our children, teenagers and youth. Go to secondary schools, especially the boarding schools, and see how students are living as couple and many parents have left their responsibility to teachers, and teachers that's working for his or her money will work in that regard. Most universities, polytechnics, college of educations and other tertiaries institutions has become a pre-approved marriage institution for our children and most parents are loosing the destiny of their children to the devil gradually because we failed in our responsibility and the schools environment exposed them to what we failed to talked about at home and in our local churches. *Some are leaving together as couples and throughout their session, most parents will not even pay a surprise visit to check on their son or daughter. In some cases, this children are engaged in series of abortions that's not known to the parents.* Sex is God's appointed way for two people to reciprocally say to one another, I belong completely, permanently and exclusively to you. Sex, is your covenant renewal service. As husband and wife are joined together in marriage. Something unique happened in their relationship. Two becomes one flesh and no more two. Genesis 2:24-25 declared; *"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."*(AMP). To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a fruitful Friday, peace. *Prayer point:* Help me, Lord, to properly and obediently submit to your will and principles in Jesus Christ name. Amen! T.S. AFOLAYAN
