I have a burden in my heart this morning and it's
primarily to men and the women who enable them by blaming wives for their
husband's adultery...
Is it true that 90-99 percent of African men cheat on
their wives (including the Christian men)? If yes, why is it considered
acceptable? Does the Holy Spirit not make a difference in the life of the
Christian? Does the race/sex of the christian determine the power of the Holy
Spirit in our lives? Do we not need to declare continental fasting and prayer
so the continent can be saved of this scourge?
If no, why are people propagating this falsehood? In
separate discussions, I heard both a man and a group of women asking a woman to
'forgive' her adulterous husband (who does not appear repentant) and 'move on'
for the sake of the children because 1) 90% of African men cheat on their wives
(uttered by a man) 2) 99% of African men cheat on their wives (a sizeable
percentage of women believe that) and 3) ALL men cheat on their wives (a
smaller percentage of women believe this).
Then we move on to 'strange women' as the root cause of
adultery... Is the Christian man helpless once a 'strange woman' is after him?
Is it a good excuse for committing adultery? Is the Holy Spirit limited by
'strange women'? Do we not realise that adultery is a sin both in the Old and
New Testament? Jesus even raised the bar higher by telling us that anyone that
looks lustfully at a woman has committed adultery with her...
Why is it okay for men to cheat on their wives whereas it
is not okay for women to cheat on their husbands?
"And this have ye done again, covering the altar of
the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he
regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your
hand. Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee
and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is
she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. And did not he make one? Yet
had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly
seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously
against the wife of his youth. For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he
hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD
of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied
him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD,
and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?" (Malachi
2:13-17).
Selah!
Have a blessed and productive day.
