Let me refresh your memory on our subject matter, sex urge. In one of my recent column, what if My Spouse’s Desire For Sex Is Not As High As Mine? I wrote “Your Worst Enemy is Yourself”

Know This: Your Worst Enemy Is Yourself

A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Mt 10:36. Your physical body is the house to your spirit and your soul. 1st Thessalonians 5:23. Every part of your body is the member of your household. E.g. your eyes, nose, ears, hands, legs, toes etc.

Your sex organ is a part of your body. Your eyes that see, your mind/head that fantasizes images to cause you to desire sex, are all members of your body. And God says He has made you a ruler over them all. Ps 8:6. So you have no excuse, not even ignorance, to allow any of them to make you sin. You must exercise your dominion over these members and be in control,  say No! Lust’s the route to hell.

Meanwhile, extra marital affair is an ego thing, it has no sexual gratifications. It is a way of expressing rebellion against authority.

Why is sex emotion too difficult to control?

Read through an excerpt from Dr. Albert’s book, “A Guide to Successful Marriage”. The author explains that there are no biological, instinctive heterosexual or homosexual drives as far as can be scientifically determined. He further states that “there are merely undifferentiated biological drives, which are caused by the secretion of our sex hormones and nerves and tissues of the male and female sex organs. But these biological drives are non-directional; and humans only learn to direct them into certain channels such as masturbation, heterosexuality, homosexuality as a result of their experience and attitudes. No one is born homosexual or heterosexual; we all learn to be one or the other.”

I put these facts so that every entrepreneur who desires to enjoy his wealth in health should have control over his /her sexual urge.

Why do you need to control your compulsive sex desire? Your lack of positive direction for sex hormones and tissues:

1. It erodes your positive perceived value within your community.

ii It lowers people’s respect for your person no matter your status.

iii When you lack control over your sex urge, you put your life in danger, exposes you to avoidable attacks.

iv You create more enemies than friends. And you know what that means for your family and business.

v It leads to marital instability.

vi Your deceptive way of life causes men and women, even your children, not   to trust and be proud of you as  their parent.

vii You lose social dignity.

vii You lose favour with God. Sexual immorality is a sin against yourself and God. Until you repent of your wicked way, you cannot enjoy God’s own blessings. Although people may say you are wealthy but you will know you are the most poor in the world.

The way out: putting your flesh under control.

Ask the Holy Spirit to take control of your body, desire it. He will curb your excess.

God says if you will obey and serve him, accepting instructions from him and put his words in your heart, remove sin from your tent, your body, which is meant to be God’s temple, then He will be your gold and the choicest silver.  He will enthrone you with kings and exalt you there.

Also, you will spend the rest of your days in prosperity and your years in contentment. Putting your excess sex desire under control will help you not to labour for another person to enjoy or build houses or wealth without peace and fulfillment. Tame that little fire for it not to consume you, you are able. Divine lifting is yours.
