When I was still single and flirting, the devil usually made the chase process look like it was fun and adventurous until it got to the climax.....sex......right there, reality would crash the whole excitement!
The fear that grips the mind after engaging in illicit sex is undeniable, and yes, it is an unpleasant experience that is common to everyone.
For anyone who still has conscience, for anyone that God has not left to his/her reprobate mind, whether Christian or any other religion, such person MUST experience some kind of fear/remorse after engaging in extra-marital sex, just that they aren't bold enough to admit it, so they quickly kill the thought and front on as though nothing happened..... Many random and fear-inspired thoughts usually run through the mind after the shameful act.
Unfortunately, this is the reality of many youths at the moment, but we are not ready for this discussion....are we?
For a man, thoughts sponsored by fear such as listed below may pop up immediately after sex:
1. I hope she doesn't get pregnant. I'm not ready to father any child right now.
2. God forbid, I can't marry this kind of girl oo, she had better not be pregnant.
3. What if I have just contracted a deadly STI? I may need to go and run a test in a laboratory very far from my neighborhood so that no one would find out.
4. I hope she's not expecting any kind of special commitment now that we've had sex?
5. God must be frowning at me from heaven now. I have disobeyed Him.
6. I feel guilty, I wish I had not done it.
7.Oh my God, did the condom break? I don't want to imagine it.
8. I just hope she'll understand if I ask her to take some after morning pills to avoid stories that touch. I can't take any chances.
9. I've spent a lot of money and time to get her laid, it's not even worth it after all.
10. My main girlfriend must not know about this.
And the list goes on and on
For a lady, she may get fear sponsored thoughts as:
1. I hope he didn't release inside me. Maybe I should ask him, but no, it sounds embarrassing.
2. What if I'm pregnant now? My parents would kill me. My academic pursuit is over. My life is ruined.
3. Now that my boyfriend has slept with me and has seen it all, he may withdraw his commitments towards me.
4. I have to sneak to a pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test strip. I won't be caught unaware.
5. Haaa, abortion is painful, I may even die in the process.
6. This itchy feeling from my privates... this guy might have infected me with STI ooo....
7. What if I take an abortion pill and it damages my womb?
8. I have had several abortions already. God knows I'll keep it this time if I get pregnant.
9. He probably didn't even enjoy it. He may break up with me.
10. I feel dirty. If only I could turn back the hands of time, I wouldn't do this.
The list is endless.
And yes, those fears are valid, your life is in danger. You're a slave to your flesh. You're a prey in the devil's hand.
NB: The fears that come after committing adultery is on a new level, but we are not talking about that today.
No wonder the Bible says there's no peace for the wicked in Isaiah 48:22, or should I just say there's no peace for the sinful?
The Bible also says a sinner runs when no one pursues (Proverbs 28:1). Illicit sex can steal your peace and turn you to a slave.
But there's hope for you, yes, there's hope in Christ, that is where your total liberation lies.
God has given us power to do all things (including overcoming sins and evil addictions). When we are truly ready and we run to Christ for help, total liberation will come.
We'll continue with the second part tomorrow
Good morning everyone
