« Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts »
7 and Potiphar’s wife soon noticed Joseph. She asked him to make love to her,
8 but he refused and said, “My master isn’t worried about anything in his house, because he has placed me in charge of everything he owns.
9 No one in my master’s house is more important than I am. The only thing he hasn’t given me is you, and that’s because you are his wife. I won’t sin against God by doing such a terrible thing as this.”
10 She kept begging Joseph day after day, but he refused to do what she wanted or even to go near her.
11 One day, Joseph went to Potiphar’s house to do his work, and none of the other servants were there.
12 Potiphar’s wife grabbed hold of his coat and said, “Make love to me!” Joseph ran out of the house, leaving her hanging onto his coat.
Whatever you know or suspect will annoy God, run away from it.
For example, in Malachi 3:8-9 the Almighty God says that if you rob Him of His tithe. He would curse you.
If I were you, I would vehemently avoid a curse from God, because if God curses you Himself, who would cancel the curse?
Don’t spend God’s tithe! 1 Corinthians 6:18 ISV
« Keep on running away from sexual immorality. Any other sin that a person commits is outside his body, but the person who sins sexually sins against his own body »
In the above passage, it says clearly that you must flee fornication.
- God said if the devil comes against you, resist him and he will flee (James 4:7), but when you find someone who wants to lead you into sexual sins, don’t wait to fight, flee!
In Genesis 39:7-15, when the wife of Potiphar tried to get Joseph to commit adultery with her, the Bible says that Joseph fled.
You must flee fornication because the Bible says that when someone has been committing sin for long and God says: “This person has become an abomination; I want to destroy them”,
He will arrange for the person to commit adultery. Once they commit adultery, they will be finished. Proverbs 22:14 NLT
« The mouth of an immoral woman is a dangerous trap; those who make the LORD angry will fall into it. »
Therefore, whenever you are beginning to feel tempted to commit adultery or fornication, you should cry to God and say
“Lord, what have I done to become an abomination to you? Please forgive me”
then flee whatever was drawing you to sexual immorality in the first place.
The wife of one of my Pastors once reported to me that her husband’s secretary had been cooking and bringing him meals in the office every day. I sent for the man and he confirmed his wife’s report. I said “Go back and sack that secretary” He did, but then reemployed her two weeks later. When I heard, I told him “You are about to destroy yourself”. Before long, the man and his secretary got married and started their own Church. Soon after, the secretary chased him out of the Church that they both founded. After that, her husband of the adulteress woman discovered that two of their sons were the biological children of the so-called Pastor – her former boss. In short, everything started to go down for the man when he refused to flee the source of adultery.
It does not matter how hard it is: flee sexual sins so that you would not be destroyed.
Application – Adultery and fornication are not things to joke with at all. If you have ever done it in the past, cry to God today to forgive you.
