Teachings from Zoom Prayer Meeting of 3rd August

I learnt that the way we live should reflect the gospel of Christ.

PHILIPPIANS 1:27
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel

I THESSALONIANS 2:13
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

We should delight in doing the will of God. God's laws should be our guide.

We shouldn't engage in sexual activity before marriage. We should be married according to the laws of God before we know our spouses in a sexual way.

The angel of the lord recognised Mary as the wife of bJoseph in the Bible, even when they didn't know each other sexually.
Matthew 1:20

Jacob worked for Laban for 14 years to marry Rachel, yet he didn't touch her sexually.

The way to overcome sexual temptations is to control ourselves, and seek God's help.

If a man loves a woman, he'll always wait and get himself prepared mentally, financially and otherwise.
Knowing that it's an infidel that can't provide for his household, according to 1 Timothy 5:8
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Husbands and wives should occasionally fast and pray to avoid temptations from Satan.
1 CORINTHIANS 7:5
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

As Christians we should not conform to the world, but be transformed.
THE ROMANS 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
