How to avoid Adultery

Here are 5 guidelines that can help Christian men and women avoid the pitfall of Adultery.
1. Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you - James 4:8. The main reason folks fall into sin is because they abandon God (or maybe they never had a relationship with Him). So know that when you feel to stay away from church services, prayer meeting, etc it is then that you NEED to draw nigh to God. Remember God is our refuge and fortress. Maintain your relationship with God!
2. See the one trying to entice you into sin as an agent of Satan. Despite how attractive and enticing the person may be he/she needs to be seen for what they are. Let us pray that God will truly open our eyes.
3. Don't play with sin. You know the person's intention but still like the attention being paid to you. Be careful this 'attention' is designed to pull you away from God, church, your spouse and to dwell more on self.
4. Do not get emotionally involved. Many affairs do not start out as such, but begin innocently enough as simple friendship and gradually begins to get more intense with the two persons involved spending more and more time with each other, having long intimate conversations and generally talking incessantly about each other even to their spouse. This is a no-no! Mash the brakes! Only your spouse is entitled to your intimacies no one else is.
5. Be honest with your spouse. Your husband/ wife is not the enemy! Your spouse is supposed to be your best friend, your companion. Love your wife' husband as yourself. He/She can help you avoid many pitfalls including adultery. Talk things over with him/her before they get out of hand. Remember prevention is better than cure. Nuff said! Be blessed and have a great sabbath!
