Job 31:1
"I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl."
Job writes that he had made a covenant with his eyes not to look
lustfully at a young woman. He was a man among men.
God asked satan, "have you observed my servant Job, blameless
and upright."
Where are the Jobs in our midst who do not gaze upon girls? These
days there is a spirit of immorality poured out on all nations.
You might buy a newspaper but your real motive is to see if there
is something about the opposite sex that would tickle you.
Nowadays there are photographs of nudity everywhere. You might
even find it in your child's bedroom. Do you as a parent condone it? Why don't you tear it
down?
A university in Pretoria did research and found that looking at
pornography has the same chemical effect on the brain as taking drugs.
Jesus said if any man looks at a woman lustfully he has already
committed adultery with her in his heart.
Your body is troubled by filth. If you smoke your lungs suffer,
and if you look at pornography you damage your brain.
Paul writes that the one who steals or lies sins outwardly but the
one who sins sexually by adultery sins against his own body.
Now Job did not refer just to nudity; he said that he would not
even gaze or think on a young woman.
Parents your so-called Christian home will be condemned one day if
you condone evil videos to be played in your home. Rather get rid of those video machines
than you and your house go to hell. Be manly in your home and do not allow such filth in
your house.
The bible says that sexual immorality should not even be named
among Christians. Lustfully looking at a girl has no place in a Christian's life.
This matter works both ways - the same goes with women looking
lustfully at men. It should not be found in a Christian's life.
Have you ever asked God to search you and try you and see if there
be any wicked way in your life?
Maybe you are powerless spiritually because you condone these
things in your life or house. Search your life and get rid of the filth.
