*HOW TO MAINTAIN MORAL PURITY*
_Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?_ *1Cor.6.18-19(KJV)*
*Moral purity is a matter of abstaining, not simply being careful. It is to flee* like Joseph fled. Flee means to run away without looking back. Winning the battle of moral purity strengthens one physically, mentally and spiritually.
*STRATEGIES TO MAINTAIN MORAL PURITY*
1. *Be Prayerful:* Prayerful people are powerful people.
2. *Be aware of situations where you are open to attack or temptation.*
3. *Be aware that where no one else knows you, temptation is inevitable.* Any time you want to travel to a strange land or any official duty outside your place, or you travel for business trip, make a commitment in your heart not to defile yourself.
4. *Avoid being alone in a private place with the opposite s*x.* Know that satan is looking for a place like the case of Joseph, Portiphar's wife rushed Joseph because the opportunity came, nobody was around.
5. *When you are successful and attractive, be aware of temptations.* Success always opens up new temptations. Studies have shown that besides good look, women are attracted to men who are financially successful, confident, competent, men who have power and influence, public recognition and men who are compassionate, gentle and attentive listeners.
6. *Be careful when you are alone with an emotionally needy woman or man.* Portiphar's wife was needy. Her husband was busy with his important job. Gen 39:14-17 and Joseph became her chatting mate but Joseph refused to respond.
Anytime someone of the opposite s*x begins sharing his or her marriage frustration with you and telling you how kind, sensitive and caring you are, you are prone to s*xual temptation. *Flee and do not turn back, starve that relationship, if not you will regret it later.*
The Bible recommends to us how to avoid fornication but, if after you get married you still involve yourself in adultery, then you need deliverance or personal discipline according to 1Corinthians 7.2 - *Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.*
Call sin *"SIN"* and think about the consequences of s*xual impurity, not the pleasure.
*TASK FOR TODAY:*
Make a commitment to flee when the need arises.
