16 Jan 6 Ways You Can Avoid Fornication
The debate among singles whether fornication is a sin or not is on the increase, especially among those engaged to get married. The Bible is very clear on this matter and this article will not only show it is wrong, but will also help singles know how to avoid fornication.
It would be helpful to those of you who want to keep their marriage bed undefiled, those who want to lay the right foundation for their marriage. Or for those who know someone who does…
1. AGREE IT IS WRONG.
First you must be one whose Lord is God and who takes His word as final authority over your life. You must be one who believes and seeks to obey Him in all your ways. You must be one who is ready to swim against the tide of the world and follow the narrow path of unpopularity of this world we live in. you must be one who believes that if God says not to do it then you would ensure to obey. If this is established then let me show you that God does not approve of pre-marital sex (fornication).
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication. 1 Thessalonians 4:3
But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood… Acts 15: 20
These are just two of many scriptures showing how God wants us to handle our bodies. He lives in us and demands that we should treat our bodies like His temple that it is. You do not own your 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? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 619-20
2. MAKE IT INCONVENIENT.
I always tell singles and those already in a relationship to make it very inconvenient for them to have sex with their fiancés/fiancées before marriage. Let me explain:
You should visit and meet each other or spend time together in places where it will be impossible for you to commit the act. Visits to each other’s homes, or even friend’s homes where you can be “left alone” can pose a serious threat.
I hear some ladies say they went to cook or clean for their fiancés and I tell those who want to listen that it is not very appropriate for them to do that, there is time for every thing. I might subscribe to you cooking and sending to him but not going over to his house to do it. You should avoid making room for “mistakes” to occur.
…And do not give the devil a foothold. Ephesians 4:27

3. TOUCHES.
One thing to also beware of is touches; yes touches. When you start touching each other, you increase the chances of arousing your sexuality.
And when you continue touching each other so, your defences get weaker and weaker to the point where you will no longer be able to resist the urge to go on and do “it”, this is because the mind is very powerful and thoughts of what could happen with you two will keep playing in your mind.
…And do not give the devil a foothold. Ephesians 4:27
4. THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES.
Thinking of the consequences of fornication will put godly fear in you, especially if you are a true believer in God and you believe that Jesus can return any moment and will not take you with Him if He finds you in sin. Since no one knows when His return will be, you should live everyday like it is “The Day”.
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators,nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. 1 Corinthians 6:9
5. PRAY.
For it is in prayer you receive wisdom and power to over come all. Prayer causes you to be filled more with God’s Spirit. If you do not pray then you make yourself an easy prey for the devil.
Notice that I put this towards the end, if you pray and leave the above mentioned undone then you are setting yourself up.
Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation… Mark 14:38
6. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
Finally on this list, I advise that when face to face with the temptation to commit a sexual sin, instead of conversing with each other or the enemy, you should do one very important thing God recommends: RUN!
Joseph ran for his life and he enjoyed God’s blessing, Samson remained and lost his glory, which would you choose?
Flee fornication… 1 Corinthians 6:18
I pray this helps in ways more than one way, and remember to email or share with a friend or loved one.

Posted at 17:34h, 09 FebruaryHi,I can’t seem to stop fornicating. This h
Journey has been had and I think I keep falling into this sin because of my desire to be married and have a companion and this has led me to having sex with many men and I feel so awful. I just want my own husband so that I won’t have to keep trying the men admiring me. Please, what can I do.
I’m really tired.

Posted at 06:39h, 15 AugustThank you very much ma for this. I actually ignorantly found myself in fornication (or aldultry because she is no longer with her husband) she came over and she spent the first night at my place we slept on the same bed but we didn’t do anything together I didn’t touch, but she came again the next day this time with her daughter and we were getting closer together my intention was to just cuddle but in the end I found myself in sin it was afterwards I came to myself and since last night I’ve not been myself because I preach against sin and now I myself have also sinned I’ve been praying for mercy and forgiveness since last night but I still feel uneasy with myself I still feel like it should have never happened in the first place and now I’m very scared of what the consequence will be, how do I beg my father to remove the consequence, how do I still go out to talk people how do I approach the holy spirit now, how do I make up for my ignorance and foolishness what can I do. How do I make this thing a thing of the past?

Posted at 16:43h, 31 AugustDear Victor,
The moment you are genuinely sorry and repent before God, He forgives and forgets the sin. He sees you as he sees Jesus because he took your place. Repenting means you turn away from the sin and Never go back.And you do not have to do it by your strength, stay In His word and lean on The Holy Spirit.

Posted at 10:08h, 11 AugustHello,
I live with my BF we’ve been dating for almost four years now. We started having sex two years into our relationship. Now I’m trying to rebuild a relationship with God and want to let go of fornicating. He told me it’ll be really hard for him and still desires me to touch him(help him ejac)). I told him that’s part of fornicating. He grew up Christian like me but isn’t ready to be on the same path. He wants to get married but isn’t ready financially etc.. and if we were to be engaged we’d get married a year later anyway. With the current economy and being jobless, I can’t gather my stuff and go live alone. Trying to stop fornicating is going to be a long battle. I’m on a two-week fast and we can’t keep our hands off each other. It’s really hard when two people aren’t on the same page spiritually. He told me without us doing it, he might fall back into old habits(masturbating/porn). Any suggestions? If we were on the same we’d sleep in separate bedrooms and such.

Posted at 16:47h, 31 AugustHello dear,
When it comes to choosing God and over sin and its pleasures, you have to be aggressive and be ready to make whatever sacrifice necessary to get back with God. When it comes to sex, it is not wisdom for both of you to live in the same house. I know this economy is tough but you must understand that when you make the decision for God, He makes a way for you. All he wants is your obedience, leave the rest to Him.

Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 18:08h, 07 SeptemberHi Success,
Sorry I didn’t respond earlier.
You cannot overcome any sin by trying in the flesh.
You must fight it in, and by the Spirit. You must feed your spirit so strong that it leads your flesh, and your flesh can no longer submit to sin.
Start by feeding on God’s word, especially scriptures that declare your victory over sin. When you do that on a consistent basis, meditating on, and speaking them over your life. You will be empowering your spirit to victory.
If you don’t mind, you can email me at teshuva7@gmail.com and I will let you know how we can chat and talk privately.
God bless you.
Praying for you.

Posted at 06:29h, 17 AprilHello.. Am really struggling with lust. I have lost my consciousness and I don’t know how to get it back. Am worried. Help please
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 13:22h, 18 AprilHello Joe,
The only remedy to darkness is light. The word of God is light, so the best place to start is from the word of God. First pour out your heart to God in repentance and KNOW that every genuine repentance receives forgiveness. 1 JOHN 1:9
Then begin reading the Bible, you can start with the book of John and Ephesians; pray along with the scriptures you read.
God’s word is like water and it cleanses us as we read with the simple purpose of becoming Christ-like. Ephesians 5:25
I will mention you in my prayers.
God is on your side!

Posted at 11:51h, 01 AprilHow do I explain because he just don’t get it. And it’s hard when he is being ni e and thinks everything is ok but I’m ready to leave
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 12:13h, 01 AprilTell him you are a believer and it is against your faith to continue. You want to make peace with God and you have nothing against him you just need to move out and sort yourself out with God.
You know him, you know his temperament and the best way to say it to him.
Be nice about it and let him know you love him but really do not want to go on offending God.

I know my body is Gods temple I need to leave I need to run
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 11:46h, 01 AprilYes Karen. You need to leave, you need to run. For the salvation of your soul, for peace with God and health to your body. ❤️

Posted at 06:36h, 02 FebruaryYou words are very touching…
Am having so many problem
*lack of focus in my career
*am 25yrs old guy without no serious relationship and I hate the fact that when ever I have the urge of sex, I get to sex any of my female friends that i have been wanting to sex..
*I keep on going back to my promise I made to god about my sex life that I won’t have sex with any girl till I get married. But its not changing.
*whenever I sin I feel so bad till the extent of me wanting to kill myself .
Pls help me with ur words. .
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 00:52h, 17 FebruarySorry for not responding earlier. Although God hates what you are doing, he loves you deeply with all of His heart. You do not have to kill yourself. Repent and take conscious steps towards living a better life. You can do this by studying your bible at least daily and spending time with God in prayer and fellowship, asking Him to empower you via His word to live for Him. Stay sensitive and practice the word you read.
Also, get to your pastor or another believer who you can be accountable to and believ that you can be all that God has created you to be.

Posted at 08:42h, 07 JulySister ugochi, believe me or not, each time I fornicate, it all seems like I just murder someone, my conscience begin to battle me like Go is about to destroy me…so many times I have prayed and faster to avoid fornication, but the more I still find my self in it, pls I need God counsel through u.. Cuz am not enjoying it fornicating and beginning to battle wit my conscience that am condemn already..I wonder if Go will ever forgive again.. Pls I need your help
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 20:25h, 07 JulyOur God is an ever loving and forgiving Father, If you genuinely repent, He forgives.
I think you should take the time to read this article again slowly and take note of the measures you need to take to allow The Holy Spirit help you overcome.
God has done all that He needs to do to help us deal with temptation and sin, He has given us all we need to overcome.
We need to do our part by guarding and guiding our hearts according to His word.
Just take the time to read the article over again and allow The Holy Spirit minister to you how you need to position youirself to receive His help.
Please chat with me again after you have done this.
God bless you.

Posted at 05:55h, 23 OctoberThanks alot for this article. I really need help. Am Anglican born and raised under Anglican Church. I met a guy on my for an introduction. He shows so much love care and concern. We met on 1st September 2019, he proposed to me on 28th September 2019. Our love grew stronger. One problem that I have now is that he is a Catholic and he says I should change to his religion. I love my religion am committed to it and my plan and prayers to God was to give me a partner who is of the same religion that we shall be able to pray together in the same church with our children but now I see that is going to be difficult in this relationship. I love him and he loves me so much but am now confused on what to do cos I don’t feel comfortable attending his church it’s like I won’t be praying and surely won’t grow spiritually. What should I do now? I tried to talk to him about it and he said there’s nothing I can do apart from following his religion when we get married
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 17:44h, 30 OctoberHi Nancy,
I am sorry you find yourself in this spot. I believe you should ask yourself which one you value most; your relationship with God or your relationship with this guy. That will help you make a decision.

Posted at 18:30h, 25 AugustMa am having a serious challenge which is sex,the worst of it only married men are the serious with me,my parents are trying there best but I don’t lky bording them with my financial challenges,ever since I fornicate I hardly pray,am a worker in church too wat will I do am into a deep challenge,I always see myself as abandon project..
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 20:45h, 05 SeptemberGod never abandons anyone who will call out to Him.
Commit to reading your Bible, especially the book of John everyday, if you cannot pray just sing in worship to God and call on Him asking His mercy..
The word of God cleanses our hearts like water cleanses our bodies. It also changes our desires.

Posted at 06:26h, 25 JulyI just had sex yesterday with my boyfriend. I know it is wrong. God warned me but I thought I could handle it. I know I might need to break up with him. He goes to church but he is carnal and don’t think it is wrong even though he promised to not touch me again till we marry but ask if he can sleep with someone if he feels tge urge, which i reply no he cant. My problem now is that I am sadden in my soul and can’t even pray. I needed to talk to some one. God warned me you know and He was clear.
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 23:48h, 29 JulyAsk for forgiveness and refuse to let the enemy trap you in a guilt that God has delivered you from. They blood of Jesus has taken care of your sin. Repent, do not go back, feed on God’s word and depend on The Holy Spirit.
Spend time worshipping God in songs and in tongues if you can speak in tongue. Never depend on your strength, keep your eyes on Jesus.
God has forgiven you if you have asked Him for mercy. Each time the devil makes you feel like He has not, remind him of:
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. and
Isaiah 38:17 (KJV) Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

Posted at 23:36h, 26 SeptemberHello
Please there’s this guy I met recently ,I really like him,his a very nice person .But he wants to touch and do other things .He is saying if I date him ,he wouldn’t do those things if I don’t want it . But I av bn thinking It won’t be wise to be in a relationship with him ,because without the fear of God in him,one day I might sin against God ,cause I can’t do it alone.But I really like him,I have told him no,But I don’t know how to stop talking to him .Please what do I do ? Should I risk dating him ?how do I get over the feeling I have for him so I don’t put my self in a situation of sexual sin?
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 14:43h, 01 OctoberMy dear, if you continue “seeing” him, one day you will bow to the pressure because you are emotionally attached to him now. What you feel for him is in your flesh. Your spirit knows it is wrong. Follow your spirit dear, God wants His best for you, do not settle for less.
If you allow your heart to be ruled by God’s word, your flesh will soon give up, the emotions will give up too.
Jazzmine Rios
Posted at 21:28h, 02 JulyI love this article! Im a 19 year old girl who like any other woman desires to be loved. I know that the man for me will love God more than he loves me but unfortunately Satan has sent a lot of fake prince charmings my way to push me off course and sadly he has succeeded multiple times but I know God and he’s full of love and forgiveness. I don’t want to be vulnerable anymore and I want to be strong.
I understand that dating is part of the process to get married and I’ve heard that people typically date for about 2 years before getting engaged but I know God works in mysterious ways. So I have a couple of questions.
1. Is it okay to date multiple people? Not all at once but for example how am I supposed to know if a man is truly for me? Falling in love at first sight sounds magical but I want a man who obviously is a devoted Christian but other things fall into play as well such as success, his family, his aspirations, his ministry and all these other things that should be in alignment with my path. But I feel like obviously I’m not going to know unless I date him and get to know him better. What if there are red flags? I don’t like him so I date someone else, is that okay as a Christian woman to “explore” in a pure way of course?
2. I obviously am not ready to date because my life is in a process of building itself up towards independence but there is a guy who I met online (a while back) we have talked on snapchat so I know he is legit and he wants to meet me, he said he is willing to take things slow and I truly don’t want to date him but I don’t think it would hurt just to meet him in person in a public setting (am I wrong?) because I feel like we could be friends and I could tell him my testimony and invite him to church. However if he’s not willing then I’ll tell him I can’t be friends with him? Or what should I say because I understand those verses in the bible that tell us not to associate ourselves with worldly people ( James 4:4, 1 Corinthians 15:33) and I feel like I have this problem a lot with people who are willing to be my friends but not willing to go to church. So my question basically is would it be dangerous for me to meet him in person even though it’s in a public setting? Dangerous for me in a spiritual aspect?
3. Is it okay to have male friends and hang out with them?
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 13:22h, 27 JulyPlease do forgive me for not replying you earlier. Now to answer your questions;
1. You can know who to date by praying even before you go on your first date. You don’t have to go by trial and error, if you do that you will continue dating men in multiples. The Holy Spirit is your guide, if you ask Him, He will tell you who to see or not see.
What I am telling you is not mystical, we have The Holy Spirit so that we do not make mistakes. All we need to do is listen.
2. I think you have already answered this second question. Do not meet him please, except you pray and God says yes.
3. It is okay to hang out with make friends, as a young believer, most of the people I hung out with are males. But I made sure they were spirit filled and disciplined believers who influence me to love God and serve Him more.
God bless you dear… Keep reading God’s word and spending time in His presence. You will not miss it.

Posted at 17:15h, 23 AprilWell-done for this change that is affecting us positively MA.
I’ve been dating this guy for 7years. We planned to settle down a year from now. He spoke to me about sex (he wants us to stop having sex and focus on God) which I’m totally in support of this decision but my problem is this: do I need to break up with him? Because I feel we already committed fornication. Will God still be in support even if we stop fornicating??
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 17:47h, 23 AprilGod bless you Sis. You only need to break up with him if you are not sure you should marry him. But if you have prayed and have peace in your heart then God supports it.

Posted at 08:37h, 18 AprilI grew up in a christian family and I am now 18 and a christian. But for the last 3 years I masturbate and watch porn constantly. Every time after I do such things, I immediately regret it and confess my sins. But after a day or two, I find myself in such things again.I quickly delete all things related to porn and II download them again and again.A year ago I had a non christian girlfriend with whom I didnot have sex or kissed but I broke up with her after my family found out about us. I donot know what is happening to me. I do believe Jesus was crucified for my sins. But am I really a born again christian? Is there a demon inside me without my knowledge? Why am I being like this and what should I do? please help me I am suffering.

If you put what I shared in them to good use, you will overcome.
I will keep you in my prayers. Remember, do not let the devil or anyone tell you that it is impossible to overcome. God says you can do all things through Christ.
Do have a super blessed day!

Posted at 19:28h, 04 MarchHey I wanted to know if I’m doing wrong by being around this guy even though I lusted after him in the past I had a fantasy of us kissing but not sex. I have been dealing with lusts for awhile now but now it’s like I’m finally trying to gain control over it. I had remembered that bible verse flee from youthful lusts and I got scared that since I had a thought about the guy that I couldn’t stay with him. I asked a friend and they said I can if I don’t continue to have lustful thoughts. I stopped but sometimes I feel like it was for the wrong reason. I know now I was being selfish but not intentionally. I should have been stopped because of God. For some reason lately I had these thoughts trying to come into my head and make me lust I don’t know why cause I’ve never had a problem with that. It’s not like the guy is tempting me to do anything sexual outside of marriage. When I’m away from him it happens when I’m around him it doesn’t. I just don’t want God to be like you went against my word cause I’m around the guy and I had lusted a while back but I’m not lusting anymore I just feel like I’ve ruined my relationship with God and the guy.I think about this a lot I feel like God isn’t gonna forgive me. I feel that the guy would consider marriage in the future hopefully as well even though we are only friends but the bible talks nothing of dating just marriage. I feel like the devil might be making me think I’m not worthy of forgiveness as well and also what is lust exactly? And do you think I’m wrong to be around the guy even though I’m not being tempted by him to do anything? Your advice would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Posted at 13:39h, 23 JanuaryHi, I have been fasting and with 4 days into the fasting I found myself fornicating. Please do I continue or stop. I need your help and advice. Thank you.
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 13:49h, 23 JanuaryDon’t stop fasting! Repent and continue fasting with a refocus on drawing grace, strength and wisdom from God to dominate your flesh.

Posted at 10:17h, 26 NovemberAm not into fornication, not even once. But i want to visit a male friend because its his birthday which it will be only two of us. Am scared that it might lead to something else that am not ready for, how can i avoid it.
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 09:19h, 28 NovemberI think it is not wise to visit a male friend whom you are emotionally involved with all by yourself. I suggest you take a friend along or talk to him about meeting up somewhere public; a park, restaurant or any other place where it would be inconvenient for anything to happen.
I hope this came to you in time. Have a super blessed day!

Posted at 22:07h, 21 OctoberSometimes I see my self going back to fornication even when ve promised God that I won’t… M deeply sorry for what I did and I want to start with God again but m feeling guilty and I cant boldly pray to Him(God) anymore. I still feel bad nd unforgiven. I have indeed failed Him… I am ready to start again with Him..
NB: ever since my last fornication this month ve been engaged in lies and cheat. Can I really be forgiven.?
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 17:56h, 24 OctoberGod forgives as long as we repent genuinely. He is always ready and willing to welcome a repentant heart.
Spend time in God’s word, spend time praying, spend time fellowshipping with other believers. Sin shall not have dominion over you.

Posted at 05:39h, 12 NovemberI find it very difficult. Each time I try to pray I feel like am the baddest criminal and I feel like ooh God can’t answer my prayers for 8 year now am facing the same problem all I want is know how to pray and pray to God to forgive me my sins.
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 10:40h, 16 NovemberGod loves you beyond your faults Felix. And He forgives the moment you ask Him to. Only the enemy wants you to believe you have gone to far and deep for God to forgive, but the devil is the father of lies.
Praying to God is simple, just talk to Him about it, tell Him to forgive you and believe He has because He said He will in 1 John 1:9
Martha
Posted at 10:05h, 15 NovemberThank you Ma for this inspiring article, the only addiction I have is “fornication” I don’t mess around though but I fornicate with my fiance but somehow I see it as a sin and I’ve asked for forgiveness from God &I promised not to do so until I’m married but I keep seeing myself doing it over and over again. At some point I just feel maybe there’s no point asking for forgiveness cause I’m still gonna do it but somehow it struck my heart that God isn’t happy about this & just want to make it up to him, I want him to forgive me and help me not to sin again. I really love God &I I know he does too. I want to be dead to my flesh and alive to my spirit man. I pray God helps me.
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 10:43h, 16 NovemberHi Martha,
God never holds back forgiveness the moment you ask He forgives. 1 John 1:9
If both of you depend on God for help and practically follow the steps mentioned in this article, you will live free of fornication.

Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 09:11h, 22 AugustBlessing God cannot only forgive you, He will forgive you if you repent and commit to not doing it again as you lean on His grace.
Just admit your sin to Him, tell Him you are sorry and ask for His forgiveness. And He will forgive you. Read 1 John 1:9
Another thing you must do is never to let the enemy taunt or haunt you with the sin. Once God forgives you of sin you don’t have to feel guilty anymore. The enemy will want to bring it up again and again but you must always remind him that it has been cleansed by the blood of Jesus, God has forgiven you, and God has forgotten about it. God is not keeping record of that sin anymore. God bless you dear…
Feed your spirit with God’s word, meditate on His word, speak His word to yourself always, pray consistently and
depend on The Holy Ghost our Helper. You are an overcomer!
Have a super blessed day! ❤️

Posted at 12:47h, 12 JulyHi Ananthi,
If you can commit yourself to read God’s word at least twice a day beginning from the book of John, one chapter in the morning and one in the evening, I believe the desire for God and holy living will be stirred up in you again. Also, if you can add a chapter of Proverbs too maybe in place of one of John either in the morning or evening…
Get involved in your local Church, join a service team and attend bible meetings… these are ways you can stir up godly desires again.
Let me know if there is any more counsel you need.
Have a super blessed day!

Posted at 12:42h, 12 JulyGod forgives anyone who repents with a genuine heart. He desires very strongly to forgive and looks forward to your asking. And my dear, there are many godly men who stand for God and His word, if you keep the faith and trust God, He will make your paths to cross. I will keep you in my prayers.

Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 18:18h, 20 JuneHi Val,
So sorry I didn’t reply earlier, please forgive me. Now, just open your mouth and ask for His forgiveness. If you are truly sorry, God is never tired of giving forgiveness. Do not let the enemy keep you away from God by leaving this sin unconfessed. The moment you ask God to forgive you He forgives, it does not matter how many times you ask as long as you are truly sorry and work hard while depending on Him not to go back.
Everything I have written here is great advice Val, and if you will commit to putting them to good use, you will be victorious.
Please email me if you need more assistance.
Do have a super blessed day!

Posted at 22:49h, 15 AprilHi Ugochi,
I am P. Sando S. Gono
Thank you so much for broading my understanding and helping to save many souls for God. May the Lord increase you in knowledge as you continue to help many.
Let me just talk about sex, because of it desire, fornication comes.
Now, let us take this for kid study.
If one were to enroll at an institution, he or she is offers a hand book which contains rules and regulations of that institution. And if anyone violates any of these rules, they will be punished.
God invented sex. He designed the hormones that triggers our desires. Sex isn’t wrong. Sex is good, a gift from a God who loves us.
And his simple guideline and regulation is simply wait until marriage. But as there is forgiveness if we made mistakes and confessed, also, destruction awaits us if we continue in them!
“Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires: but those who live in accordance with the spirit have their minds set on what the spirit desires ….you.
However, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the spirit, if the spirit of God lives in you. (Romans 8:5,9)”.

I need guidance from God and more inner strength. A stronger mind and conviction so that I can overcome the world and endure until the end. At this point Fasting could be very much needed.

Posted at 15:52h, 14 DecemberI feel as though I CANT stop committing fornication. I am on a current break with my boyfriend so he is staying with his mom while my daughter and I reside at our former home which we all lived at one point. He said he needed space and a break from drama which HE caused. So now, when he drops my daughter off or when we have discussions it’s like we are TEMPTED to touch each other and once we touch each other it leads to sex. So he will end up going to work from my house. The space to me seems to be asked for so that he could be doing whatever it is HE wants to do . I want to stop dealing with him in that way and keep it about our daughter. It is just very hard.

Posted at 14:44h, 30 OctoberI used to hear the word fornication all the time from the pastor but, didn’t know what it means but, now after reading this I kinda understand but, I have committed that sin now is it too late? I think not because I was already saved and already baptized and gave my life to the Lord but, nor have I married neither one my new baby father or my older one of course he is in prison now so, it is hard for me to be faithful but, I don’t know if I try I believe that I can make a choice between the two but, fornication has been done all I can do now is pray repent and hope that let’s me and my family back into his life from this sin but, when you have two lovers it is hard to choose one and leave the other dang. I wonder I know God could help me make that decision to huh plus, I have three kids by one and one kid on the way by the new one that is free.
Please help if anyone has any ideas or suggestions?
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 19:02h, 19 NovemberI am so sorry for replying this late Princess, please pardon me.
Your life can never be too messed up for the blood of Jesus. All you need to do is repent and stop having sex with whom you are not legally married to. You are pregnant right now if I understand your comment, that too is not a sin that cannot be forgiven.
If the father of your baby is willing, then he should do the needful and marry you. Even with the children you have had, you can turn your life around by stopping fornication and turning your life completely over to God. But to continue in sin after knowing you are wrong and asking for forgiveness is taking God’s grace in vain.
I pray you submit to God and receive His grace to do only that which pleases Him.

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; http://biblehub.com/acts/3-19.htm
Harden not your heart, the Day you hear the voice of the Lord, come to him and He will in No way cast you out but will recieve your unto himself for the son of man came not to condemn the world but that the wold through Him might be saved.

Posted at 14:54h, 30 JuneHi Ugochi,
I came across your post as I have been in search for advice/answers for my long standing issue.
I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost 3 years and not long after we first started dating (around 100days or so) we fell into sexual sin and eventually made decisions that had made us regret. During the early times we felt very ashamed and wanted to stop, however, couldn’t. We repeated this cycle for almost 2 years on and off. I have been serving my church as a group leader, and taken up other responsibilities to serve God, but obviously had been living a fake life – as behind the scenes I was sinning against God for my own desires. During this cycle, I cannot say with full confidence, but I feel my boyfriend and I became very tired of repenting and talking through the issue over and over. Which lead us to have hardened hearts to truly repent and turn away from sin. Over those times, I did repent with all my heart but obviously fell away again as it was my weakness – and sometimes I would have the assurance that God would really help us through the issue if we read tried to seek for His grace and wisdom – but another problem was that I always felt I was the only one feeling strongly about ‘repentance’ and seeking what was right in God’s eyes. My boyfriend was brought up in a Christian family, but I believe he has not yet received Christ as his Lord. Hence, I felt it was more difficult at times to talk about the seriousness of the issue and how we should go about keeping away from our weaknesses (sexual sin). Though he wasn’t disrespectful or any kind, I did felt he wasn’t quite on the same boat as me. I had mixed emotions over the two years of hardship, hatred was definitely one and I also unconsiously had been blaming my boyfriend for all that had happened – even though I did admit I was responsible too. But eventually I came to realise and God struck me to repent that what we have done was a deadly to our souls – both mine and my boyfriends – and I have come to a point to repent to God about how I didn’t act wise enough to lead the relationship in a Godly way but how I allowed my desires to drive over me and not only affecting my own soul but how that decision had crushed my boyfriend’s soul too. I felt very bad, almost like I needed to take responsibility in taking my boyfriend’s life to turn to God. So I had a lot of trouble getting through that thought too, because I know that I can’t make one’s life change – but only God can – in the right time and right way. SO- Ever since last year (for about 9months) we have not shared our bodies – although there were a few times where we felt uncomfortable (touching and what not going overboard) – however this also has been a few months- it is a struggle for my bf as he told me once that its hard since we are taking steps backward from what we have done, which I agree. Now, my question is – in a bigger picture – I would like to ask the obvious question – should a couple break up if they have fornicated but have now put a stop to it? – but I know the stop to the action of sexual sin is just a superficial issue – but the core is whether we both repent and come clean in front of God – and by this cleansing, we strive in Godly relationship. I guess I’m having mixed feelings as well as thoughts because I feel my boyfriend is not pursuing the same thing as me – at least not yet(though he is trying – he’s been taking up spiritual workshops at his church recently for his spiritual growthetc.). I know I shouldn’t be persuaded with the thought – if I wait he will change – but that’s not really my question. I’ve started to have less feelings for him as I feel if we continue like this – our marriage won’t glorify God. I know there are consequences to this sin, hence, why our relationship is in struggle many ways because of it. I am thinking of asking my boyfriend if we can take time off for about a month or so – not seeing or contacting each other – and asking for guidance to God whether we should really continue this relationship or not. If it can be restored, i really want God to restore our relationship and head towards the way it pleases him. At the end of the month when we meet again, if we were both assured that God would(?) help us – then we would really take a shot at it and ask God to really lead our relationship and we both make an effort to invite God into our lives – reading the bible together – praying together – attending group bible studies – potentially attending same church under same ministry – etc. But I guess if either one of us feels that its not in it for God – we would go our separate ways for the best of each other.. (At this stage I ‘feel’ God wants me to break up – (because of our past but i do feel my decreased passion for him is a big influence in this feeling)) – but I want to make sure we both agree as well as that I want to be sure (plus im not quite not ready for the breakup). So I’m thinking of sharing this thought and idea to my boyfriend and suggest doing it – I hope you can give me other suggestions if you can or your thoughts on my idea that i just have shared. It was a long post. Thank you so much for putting the time and reading it – I look forward to your comment.
J
Posted at 16:00h, 30 JuneI also want to add that – I did at one point for a long time – felt our relationship was unequally yoked – but i had a lot of hypocrisy in my heart towards my boyfriend – so I had thought lowly of him just because I think he has not truly repented or truly follows the Lord. Then again, who am I to finger out that he is such a person – as I am equally responsible for our actions. I want to stop the blaming – stop feeling guilty over this – stop the hatred on myself and this relationship. I wish my boyfriend would come forward to God – and we both start again – fresh – with God’s grace and mercy of cleansing our sin – working towards a Godly relationship. (Though my love for him has faded- and I know that ‘sparks’ and ‘romance’ is not the true love we should seek as Christians.) I really want to help my boyfriend – as a person and as a girlfriend to become a born again person in Christ. Even if at the end – he chooses to leave me – i think i will feel less guilty knowing that he has turned his life towards God. But most of all I would want to become the Godly man that God would be happy for me to marry. (Am I being a bit selfish in wanting him to become Godly man – so that I can be with knowing that he is truly God’s child?)…..
Anyways, thank you so much in advance.
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 15:30h, 21 JulyHello J,
Please I sincerely must apologize for not responding to this mail early. I have been a bit unavailable on my blog for a while.
Now J, your boy friend is not born again from all indications so you sincerely should not consider him for marriage. He is a creation of God nonetheless and Jesus died for him like for everyone els, but it is not your responsibility to save him.
You should pray for him as it is a responsibility of all Christians to pray for lost souls, but you should not consider him for marriage. That would be unequal yoking and displeasing to God.
I know this is hard considering your emotions and all, but you must give up your emotional pleasure in this case so that your soul will be at peace with God.
When you please God, He will bring His best man for you as husband. Decide to please God at all costs and God will manifest His Blessing to you at all cost.
I hope this helps you J, please do let me know.

Posted at 08:09h, 15 NovemberSister, your witness for Christ is lacking power because of your compromise with sin. You must LEAVE the sexual affair and boyfriend and dedicate your life, mind, body, and soul back to God and Jesus will clean you up completely.
18 “Come now, let us reason[a] together, says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool.

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Permit me to tip in by saying that jesus the christ was 100% man and 100% GOD thus, he was tempted with all form of sin while on earth.but he was able to overcome bcos he allow whole-hearted the spirit of God and the will of God to rule his life. no doubt it was not easy for him, thats why several of his prayer he will say if its possible let this cup pass away from me.nevertheless not as i will but let ur will b done.likewise xtian 2day can overcome and live above fornication if only we will follow christ footstep.God bless.

Bro Darrell
Posted at 08:17h, 15 NovemberSister, marriage will not cure the demon of lust. If you need to call off the wedding and get delivered from Lust. Repent fully before God with all your heart. Don’t let the devil trick you into believing that God is not hearing you. God hears you. BE HONEST with GOD and TURN from your sin and ASK GODs help because without Gods help you cannot fully stop sinning it takes Gods power to overcome sin. DEPEND, TRUST, and RELY on Jesus to ABSOLUTELY CLEAN YOU FROM THIS SIN…once you do, you will be so happy and you will feel new. 🙂 God bless you… remember MANY other christians are facing the SAME temptations as you but God delivered them out of them all but you must CONTINUALLY come to CHRIST…CONTINUALLY… also reading the bible the KJV helps because each time you read it, God gives your spirit a bath and cleans stuff from your life.
18 “Come now, let us reason[a] together, says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool.
Acts 3:19
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 19:08h, 19 NovemberDear Joyce, I am sorry for this late response.
If you truly repent and stop sinning against God and your fiance, God will forgive you.
Do not allow the enemy torment you with guilt.

Posted at 00:22h, 05 Junemy name is elvis i fear GOD. i want to live holy. i fand it dificult to resist women. wen i told a girl that i can not continue in sin anymore the girl will give me like three days wen she call me after that three days i will still come back ,what will i do to be able to resist women.
Bro Darrell
Posted at 08:22h, 15 NovemberBro Elvis, Gods answer for you is to have your own wife to AVOID fornication (get rid of all numbers of females and change your phone number, move to a new place if you have to…do ANYTHING to AVOID going to HELL and being dragged back down into sin)
The Bible States, Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 1 Corinthians 7:2
You must also know that getting married and having a wife will not deliver you from the demon of lust, you must fully REPENT of fornication and ask GOD to deliver you from LUST and GOD is FAITHFUL and HE will deliver you…
You CAN have a new life in Christ, its possible to overcome lust, many others have been delivered and you can too. Amen

Posted at 09:15h, 26 MayThank you so much, Ugochi for this article, God bless you. I have this problem with lust. My mother’s husband’s sister’s son came to stay with us(my mum’s husband had died before I was born) I wouldn’t say he’s my cousin as my mother was only married to his mother’s brother but my dad is completely different. I never had feelings for him but lately, I began lusting after him. I’ve been having affairs with him (no penetration though) and I feel most guilty about it. I would decide never to do so again but after some time, I’d find myself in it. I don’t know what to do, whether it’s necessary to tell my family about my affair with the guy or just quit everything and not telling them. I feel like the worst person on earth and a very big disappointment to God. Please I need reply. What do I do please
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 09:29h, 26 MayRight now, what matters is that you stop sexual sin with this person. If telling your family will help, then go ahead. The most important thing is that you apply everything written in this article, if you do so with a genuine heart of repentance and change, you will rise above sin.
God’s grace is available to help you Chinaza!
Have a super blessed day!

Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 23:07h, 13 MayYes it is, all sexual perversions are sin.
israel
Posted at 01:23h, 14 MayI was filled with the holy spirit last month and I masturbated a couple times after but repented. It doesn’t happen often in between months. But I really want to over come this. I know God wants to use me mightily! Will this stop my spiritual Growth?? Will it kill the holy spirit in me??? I stay grounded in the word and prayer. Church every Sunday. I’m serious about my walk with God. I just slipped a few times. Need answers please!!!
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 01:48h, 17 MaySin always hinders spiritual growth. Sin quenches The Holy Spirit in a man.
But if you genuinely repent God forgives and if you commit to stay Holy, He will be there to help you.
Work on your prayer and study life, slips always come in when we neglect these two things.

Posted at 10:39h, 14 MayYes it is! You are exposing yourself to the demon of lust.
Shaunie J
Posted at 15:19h, 06 NovemberI am asking that you please keep me in your prayers. I have battled with lust for a while since I was a kid.. Finally when I decided to live right and practice celibacy, my God brother introduced me to a guy that he claimed to be a man of God but wasn’t even saved at all. Anyway, I ended up being wrapped up and tangled up with him and ended up finding myself wrestling with demonic lust demons.. We fornicated all the time. We fornicated to the point where I knew I had to stop I couldn’t take it anymore! I knew it was wrong!The holy spirit convicted me all the time. Finally, we ended on, breaking up because he knew that I couldn’t have kids day one(I told him this in the beginning before we got together) and he was still young and wanted his own so he left me. But in the midst of it all, somehow, I kept finding myself going back and forth with this dude for a whole year! When I wanted to leave him alone, he kept coming back claiming that he loved me but then he would turn around and leave me again after we fornicated making the excuse that he loved me but I couldn’t have kids. He played mind games with me over and over! Every time he came to my home we fornicated and fornicated.Everytime my mind was made up that I was done, he kept coming back and I wanted to stop! I know he meant me no good, but my mind told me that I loved him and that he loved me too. So my request is that you please pray for me that I learn to say NO with the boldness of God! And that this soul tie will be broken because this is not the way I was raised and I have young children who I have and I’m sure is watching me too!! All I wanna do is live right and please God, but this spirit won’t leave me alone. I’m beyond tired! Any help and prayer is appreciated!! I want to be free!!!

Posted at 01:45h, 17 MayIt is sin! Watching porn brings lust and lust is sin.
ndama roland
Posted at 13:06h, 01 Novemberif u are fighting sin and u dont see watching porn as a sin then that is your first problem my dear. there is no sin that does not begin from the mind. all you do starts on your mind. your mind is dedicate in a way that any thing it receives, it will always push you to produce it out(passing unto action).understand that your mind stores every bit of whats u see. your eyes sends what you see to your mind and your mind will like to make that thing go to action.
our primary definition to is ” anything you do, say or think that does not glorifies God” thinking goes with SEE.know that. when you start seeing those porn acts, your mind will be deviated to acts that are like those scenes.
To end up with, porn watching is a sin that will lead you to other sins.
Shaunie J
Posted at 14:51h, 06 NovemberI didn’t know that. Thanks for clarifying that masturbation is a sin. All this time, I thought it wasn’t that harmful because we’re not actually penetrating, but I’m glad that I now know the truth!Thank you for this passage it has helped me.

Posted at 11:45h, 10 MayEngaging in sexual activities with someone who is not your wife or husband is fornication. As for what leads to fornication; lust is the culprit, the sinful desire in the flesh.

Rebekah Musa
Posted at 07:41h, 22 AprilHello sister Ugochi (sister in Christ)
My name is Rebekah and I am 19 years old. I would first like to say thank you for your tips, they are really helpful. I love God so much and I really want to do His will but every now and then I get myself involved in fornication.I haven’t actually done it but the touching and feeling is still a sin. I dated this guy when I was 17 and he broke up with me for another. It was during that relationship that I broke my promise of never allowing another man to see my naked body. I felt very distant from God and I prayed that God would end the relationship and I believed that He actually answered my prayer. Anyways, to cut the ling story short, my relationship with Christ was going well but then his gf broke up with him. I ended up helping him to get through the heartache and got myself involved in another round of fornication. It’s been like this all the time. Like I would make up my mind to not see him but every now and then, it’ll happen again. Right now I feel like such a horrible person because God has done so much for me and I always let Him down. I know that I am such a disappointment to God because I give into temptation so easily. I am scared that one of this days God is not going to forgive me.
Please, my request is that you pray for me. Pray that God will give me strength to stop going back to this guy and focus on God. I want to be pure and I only want my husband to take my virginity. I know that you don’t know me but God can hear your prayers. God bless you and thank you once again.
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 10:01h, 25 AprilI will pray for you Rebekah, but you must do your part and see grace work for you. Follow all the steps listed on the blog and you are sure to have victory over fornication and temptations.

Ill promise God to stay a way in less than 1week I’ll do it again am tired sister ugochi I need ur help
GodsPrincess
Posted at 04:18h, 12 MayFirst thing is recognizing that you are doing something wrong. You cannot correct something if you don’t think there is anything wrong. So if you are searching for help that means you’ve made the first step. Next is to repent, repent means to turn the other direction. If you were fornication you decide that’s it! No more! God knows you cannot do this on your own. This is spiritual. You are a spiritual being as God is spiritual, we were made in his image and likeness. Ephisians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms…you cannot come against spiritual things with a carnal mind and. Carnal weapons. Our weapons is prayer, fasting, reading the word and attending a church. The only way to overcome is by the renewing of your mind (the word). If it’s something I learn is you cannot fight something of the flesh if you are in the flesh. If you are in the flesh, you desire the things of the flesh. If you feed you spirit (in prayer, fasting, reading the word of God, going to church to receive and renew your mind) then you are feeding your spirit. As we feed the spirit more it dominates the flesh. crucify the flesh daily!! I’m not saying you won’t have thoughts or be tempted, but when you are God will give you the strength. Seek Him.

Posted at 21:39h, 13 AprilI keep telling God that I won’t do it again, but I can’t control it 🙁 I know it’s wrong. I know it doesn’t please God. I don’t know what to do anymore. I need God more than He needs me, I acknowledge that. I just wish I could control myself. I’m tired of lying, cheating on God.
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 14:08h, 14 AprilYou can control yourself Mariana, if you read the word of God on fornication and constantly think about them and also pray those words into your heart, you will be on your way to your deliverance.

Posted at 17:28h, 07 MarchI am confused. I know the right thing to do but I don’t know why I get scared to take a step. I have lived with my with my boyfriend for over a year. I just graduated from the University. When I met him, I lost interest in the things of God.I even stopped going to Church bcos I knew that cohabitation is wrong for a Christian. Late last year, I started thinking about my life and eternity. I knew that I had a straight ticket to hell. He doesn’t believe that we are fornicating. He doesn’t like to hear that word. I made a decision to leave him and start a new relationship with Christ Jesus. But I am scared of one thing, people know us together. I am afraid of what they would say. There are girls waiting to take my place in his life but that is not my fear, my other fear is how many men are willing to abstain from sex outside marriage?

Hello Mercy…
Be afraid for your own life foremost…the truth is God will by one or more means warn those men out there..please do not be sober for what will not profit you dear,be happy to abstain from evil!the best is always for the best…the bible says (if ye know what is right and do it not,ye have sin)…so cheer up,if u need a boyfriend or spouse,go for the one who your value more than a sex patner..see it is obvious that most girls end up not marrying the one the open up their privacy to or serve..so be strong if you want to make God proud.,its never too late now to go on your knee and ask God for mercy(its now or never)..i thank God you can see the future of iniquity…thank you for going back to God…rejoice i say rejoice

Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 18:14h, 16 FebruaryDear Binu,
It is a good thing you have acknowledged your wrong, that is a great step towards God.
Fornication does lead to hell:
If you ask God for forgiveness from a genuine heart and make up your minds to do whatever it takes not to sin again, He will forgive you.
Stay free from sin Binu, you can as God has given you the grace!

I love having sex but I know it’s wrong and I feel guilty after each act. Every time I have the urge, I watch porn and masturbate. Am dating a guy at the moment and we are fornicating, am scared that if I stop he will leave me. I know God is not happy with what am doing. Please how do i stop. How do i stop having these urges.

Posted at 17:50h, 12 Februaryplease i beg of you stop at once..when its come to adultery or any thing sex,it will take more than confession,it need your right stand ,you need to sit and ask yourself the gain or how it all have affected your life for good…men will troop in for any woman but not for her ugly side..am not trying to tell you its going to be easy,it would not.but you need to know thats what defines you (and truly who are you)….sit and look your past ,present and future tell me who will you be?

Posted at 15:14h, 17 NovemberHello Mary,
You do not have to sell your body to any man to make money. There are millions of ways you can make money without sinning against God.
Any man or thing that will make you anger God wants to destroy you. You must flee from that man and never go any where near him again.

Posted at 12:59h, 19 NovemberHello Mary, at one time of my life I been there right where you are. The bible say that we all have sin and come short. Understand it takes a well made up mind to serve the Lord. Whether you’re relationship was for the money or just wanted to be loved. Sometimes we as women missed a lot growing up especially if it was no Father in the home and that may not have been your case but never the less God want us to live a life that is pleasing to Him and so does the devil
God says that he that comes unto me I will no other wise cast him out God will give you the ability to resist the devil. He know that we can’t do it by ourselves when you pray and tell God I need your help and help me because I can’t help myself and God if you don’t help me um gonna mess up He then comes in to your aid and gives you what you need because he knows your heart. God will help
Valisa
Posted at 03:46h, 16 NovemberI really find your post here very helpful. I am a 43 year old woman who has been saved for some years now. I long to be married but as I grow older I am not confident that I will be blessed to get married and so I have been in relationships where I have fornicated because I don’t want to be alone and I desire companionship. I don’t want to be alone and every time I tell someone I am celibate they leave and then I am alone again. I want to obey God, but I want marriage too and I feel like I am too old now to get it.
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 15:18h, 17 NovemberI understand the need for you to have companionship but sacrificing your relationship with God and eternity with Him for your emotions and feelings would be the biggest mistake anyone could make.
If you make up your mind to stay away from such men and honour God with your body, He will send His man your way. The one who would lead you in obedience to God’s word, the one who will love you like He(God) does.
You can email me at teshuva7@gmail.com so we can talk come more.

Posted at 00:09h, 06 NovemberBrethren We Should Be Careful With The Devil After Confessing Jesus Christ. Be Ready To Say “NO” To Any Past Sexual Relationship(s) Because “…The Old Has Gone And The New Has Come”.When I Came To Know Christ And Understanding 2 Cor 5:17 As I Quoted, It Didn’t Cost Me Anything To Say “NO” To A Girl I Wanted To Marry And We Loved Each Other Very Much. But Did That Relationship Begin In Christ? Certainly “NOT”. There Was Need To Be Completely Renewed. So When You Have Said YES To Jesus, Get Rid Of Your Old Self Completely And Swiftly. You Can If You “WILL”. And Please Watch Out For Your Old Relationships Because They Are Potential Traps Of The Enemy For You. Some Will Pretend That They Have Repented Just To Get You. And “If After They Have Escape The Pollutions Of This World…And Are Again Entangled There In, The End Will Be Worse For Them..” 2 Peter 2:20. You Can Only Win This Race By Fighting It With The Sword Which Is The Word Of God, Read It And Meditate On It.Please RUN For Your Dear Life(Eternal)

Posted at 17:00h, 02 NovemberHi..im a 17 yr old christian and my boyfriend and i fornicate a lot but we are trying to stop. I feel inspired by what you wrote but my fear is tht it might be too late. I missed my period and thnk i may be pregnant. Need advice plz. What should i do?
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 17:08h, 02 NovemberHello Sharee,
First, it is not too late to stop. The enemy might be telling you to keep on fornication, you might be pregnant after all. Don’t listen to him. God is watching to sèe your next move and a move towards obedience would be the best for you.
Second, go for a pregnancy test to confirm if you are truly pregnant.
Third, if you are DON’T KILL YOUR BABY! Seek support…
Please email me at teshuva7@gmail.com so we can talk some more.

Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 14:12h, 21 OctoberYou know Eben, your life depends solely on the choices you make from now on. Thank God you have made the choice to follow Christ, your past is past but your future now depends on the choices you make from now on.
As for how you will tell the other girls… first tell the one you are presently with that you had so many girls but have nothing to do with them anymore. Then go ahead and call all the other girls one after the other and let them know that you are now in Christ and do not wish to continue sinning and offending God.
Now it is not easy, but it is something You MUST do and immediately too.
God will help you as you make up your mind to live for Him only.

Posted at 00:17h, 20 Octoberhello admin,
I have dated a lot of guys but only had sex with one in 2013, but I broke up with him 15months ago because I don’t want to continue fornicating. The point now is even after I broke up I still kissed two guys whom I wasn’t dating. I want to be a changed person but I easily have feeling for guys. I clocked 20 this month and I really want to start a new life. Please advice me and is there still hope for me to meet a good man? please reply
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 14:19h, 21 OctoberHello Aderonke,
First of all, YES, there is plenty of hope for you to meet a great man.
Firs things first, you must accept Christ as your Lord and Master, you must submit your will completely to Him. Only The Blood of Jesus can cleanse and change any person.

Posted at 08:42h, 16 OctoberDear Ugochi
i am in a relationship of 3 years 6 moths,when i met this guy,i was a prayerful person, stayed a year with him without fornicating,after that i felt m making him suffer for what he does not believe in,so i gave in,we started fornicating,he was not a christian at the time and he was drinking. but in my fornicating, i prayed so hard, i prayed for him to change, bt it seemed my prayers were not being answered. and i stopped praying for him,bt instead i prayed to God to make my heart hate him,so as to make it easy for me to leave him because i really loved him bt i knew if he ws to get btwn me and God then he is not worth it so i ws silently working on how i ws gonna leave him, one day i invited to an all night prayer,it ws good he enjoyed,bt he still went back to beer(i ws stil praying my dangerous Prayer for leaving),i kept on inviting him till he came to me and told me he wants to leave sex,leave beer and give his life to Christ…that was after another year. Write now we both struggling to stay pure,we can stay a few months without fornicating bt we always go back to it…we always praying and asking for forgiveness from God,it almost feels we deceiving Him,sometimes i cnt pray thnking i am not even worthy to call Him “Father”…I hate sin!!
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 11:50h, 16 OctoberMy sister,
I sincerely think you need to run away from anything that keeps you away from God. It sounds hard but you know, God gives us our will to choose between Him and any other person or thing.
I pray you understand and choose to depend on God’s grace as you make the right choice.

Posted at 13:12h, 10 OctoberHello, Ugochi!
What a wonderful piece you’ve shared with your readers/followers. May God continue to give your more knowledge to convey those that seek Him, in Jesus’ name. Amen! Well, I remain immensely grateful to God for the power He gave me to resist fornication some three years ago, though the temptation keeps coming – but there’s always an escape route. Praise God! However, I’m burdened in my heart at the moment about a young lady in her twenties, a member of my church, whom I fell in love with. Ugochi, judging by human perceptions she’s so fit for a wife. We do love each other and we hope to get married some day, if God wills. But, I realised that I made a mistake at some point when I hurriedly told the lovely girl that I would love to marry her even before the awareness of my pastor and having not prayed well enough. I admit that ill step, sir. Afterwards, when this information came to him (my pastor) he was so disappointed in me and said that I drifted. I went and apologized to him, confessing that I had been waiting for the right time to tell him about the relationship.
But, in the process of counseling me, he raised an issue about the girl which I found so worrisome and ‘unfair’. But, before my conversation with him I’ve had a couple of contrasting dreams about the girl. In one of them, I found her in my room with cheery smile on my face and I shifted on my bed for her to lie beside me. On the other ones, we had misunderstanding and when I asked her to come so that we would make peace she was reluctant; and in the latest one I saw her adorned in white gown (like a wedding gown) coming towards me, but she walked past me without showing any sign of familiarity. Really, I believe that dreams should never be taken lightly whether they seem good or bad, and I understand that their are familiar spirits which the devil deploys to deceive and put man in a state of perplexity. But my concern here is about what my pastor said about the girl’s spiritual identity. He first asked me how much I knew about the girl and I incoherently answered him what I can’t even remember. Then he said that the spirit of fornication trails the girl. I mean, I didn’t quite get that. Ugochi, this girl and I took it upon ourselves to seek God with our whole hearts believing that whatever beautiful love we share can only be protected and preserved by God, coupled with many other things we aspire to do for God as our worship unto Him for the rest of our lives. Also, we declined from sexual intercourse because we want God to have good basis for bringing us together and we have some measure of fear for God. I’m sobbing as I’m sharing this story of my live with you. We are so fond of each other! When she sees me, she shows an infallible joy by the beautiful smile that reflects on her face as if I’m her world. Indeed, she’s beautiful even on the inside, by my evaluation. When I had no cloths she bought some for me. We fast (even dry) and pray together. We keep encouraging each other with kind words and positivity. I love her so much! We flood our WhatApp with beautiful words, like no man’s business. We always make out time to keep our communication waxing. Any time we sense that we are becoming so encumbered to each other, we would agreeably separate and seek God. We keep reiterating every now and then how much we need God in our lives, and that kind of keeps us together. Honestly, I have quite a lot to say about us but I feel that I’ve bugged you already with my over worded story. Please, kindly advice me on this as the spirit of the Lord directs you – God bless you!

So, I want to give you an alternative e-mail address to write me: nonnynwang@yahoo.com; it similar to the previous one and so unique to me….hahaha! About my story, I have quite a lot to discuss with you because many things are springing up and they seem to be tilting to our (my beloved and I’s) favour. However, I would love it to read your first reply on the first version of my story (which already know about) and then I’ll brief you on subsequent events for further counselling, and this time in confidence. And quickly I want to apologize for any inconvenience you will go through repeating your reply but this time to my new e-mail address. I believe that our heavenly Father is sustaining you and your beloved family; thanks, once again.

Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 09:39h, 08 OctoberI believe that anything or person that will hinder your relationship with God should not be tolerated. This may sound rude but it is the truth. Do not be scared, God will heal you and bring you to the man He has prepared for you.
Obeying God will always position you for favour.

Posted at 22:07h, 18 Septemberheylloo everyone. pls I seriously need help. I was raped as a child and never mentioned it to anyone till now. it’s been affectionately me greatly. I don’t have any feelings having sex, even it’s just to please the man in question. it really meant nothing to me since I considered the most important moments ‘virginity’ being taken away without me even being able to recall. I really need my conscience back. I also have a fiance now we had known each other for about 4yrs before he proposed. we used to have sex once in a while. but since he proposed and I became a ‘born again’, I have come to take the decision of no sex till marriage. it troubles my mind all the time coz now know it’s wrong to have sex before marriage. confused if I should abstain and go on or cancel the proposal,
Benjamin
Posted at 14:34h, 05 OctoberMy dear, my opinion though…
I think you should abstain totally and move on with the relationship but if your man insist on the sex then let him go. Because its just gonna continue to be one sin upon another.

Posted at 10:46h, 18 SeptemberHello Dear,
I am struggling with fornication and it is causing a great despair in my life. I am a Christian who takes delight in worshipping the Lord. I live with my parents and I was able to stay pure in life until they brought in a lady from my hometown to stay with us. She has been so tempting and I have been falling for her even though I pray that I will be able to resist temptations but I still fall. I know I have tried so much to flee from fornication, I pray for forgiveness of the sin so often that I think God is pissed off with me. Why should I be committing the same sin repeatedly and be asking for forgiveness all the time. Please I need your advise, I find it difficult to pray now since it seems I’m deceiving God. Sometimes I fast for forgiveness of sins but I get caught into the same trap immediately I break the fast. Now I am confounded, I do not know what next to do
Victor
Posted at 00:49h, 06 OctoberHello Gyan, I just want u to know and understand that God does not get pissed up with us any longer after Jesus has borne all our sins and condemnation on the cross of calvary, Jesus has brought us abundant Grace..despite our sinfulness, God still so much loves us and care about us though He hates sin. He has exhausted all His anger on d body of Jesus Christ on the Cross. Get closer to God with faith in d Grace of Jesus and believe that you are the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ. God Bless You.

Emma Fekoya
Posted at 09:59h, 30 NovemberVictor has answered well, but I just want to state this that SEX is for Marriage and Marriage is for Sex. Therefore, in addition to all the scriptural passages quoted I need us to see and understand 1 Corinthians 6:18 FLEE FORNICATION………………
Sex outside marriage does not understand any language. The only method to handle it, is to take a drastic step of FLEEING! Joseph applied it. Stop trying, talking, tonguing, casting out, binding etc. FLEE!

Posted at 10:26h, 28 AugustDear Ugochi, Thank you so much for this your post. I am one lady who loves God but then I am in a relationship that I was involved in fornication once with the guy and I fought with my conscience through that period and asked God for forgiveness. I tried to explain to him how I will not want to ever commit fornication again and he says it will be very difficult for him but he will try. What do you advise I do, should I hold on to this relationship or do I RUN?

Posted at 14:25h, 12 AugustSometimes I feel like what am doing is wrong and want to quit fornication…but then I feel like I will lose him to someone else.He argues about fornication and feels that it is right to do it though I know that it really affects him.and his commitment to church is very weak since we decided to engage in fornication. We’ve known each other for over three years now…please help

Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 09:30h, 13 AugustHello Mev,
There are times in our lives when we have to make tough decisions. This one of those times. You must choose what is more important to you, keeping this man or losing God and heaven.
When you choose God above all, He will give you His best man, one that loves Him and lead you to obey Him.
Any man who encourages you to sin and offend God does not love you. And he definitely does not love God too. Plus, you should have nothing to do with such a man.
I know your emotions are all entangled and you feel like you cannot live without him. The devil sells lies to us and our feelings are many times contrary to God’s words.
But I promise you, living in peace with God will bring you great joy, peace and satisfaction.
It is not easy Mev, but you can do it… I can help walk you through it.
Please if you need to talk further, send me a direct mail @ teshuva7@gmail.com

Posted at 20:14h, 01 AugustI have a boyfriend, he doesn’t stay in Nigeria, and while he was around, we have sex, but now his not around, he want me send him pictures of my body, this I do before, but now I think my conscience is telling me it’s wrong, is it really?
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 14:04h, 03 AugustIt is wrong. There are things that are not decent and this is one of them. It is pornography and pornography is wrong. Both of you ought to wait till after marriage to see eachother’s “bodies” and when it is that time it will not have to be over the WEB or any form of social media.
Plus, fornication is not approved by God as you have read, so I strongly counsel that love for God and desire to please Him should compel both of you to stop.
I will keep you in my prayers Funmi, nothing is impossible with God.

I know that Jesus will forgive me, but the acts that I committed cannot be erased from my memory. I am full of regret and worry. It crosses my mind everyday, the acts that I had committed with the people that I did them with. I am now trying to grow my bond with the lord and Jesus Christ and make sure that I repent from all future temptation. I want to thank you for this article. You are a blessing to the internet and the world.
Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 09:32h, 24 JuneIf you have asked God for forgiveness He has forgiven you but you must now forgive yourself. Guilt can hinder you from your relationship with God. If you carry on like this then it means you do not believe God’s word on forgiveness.
You should read the article on How to stop fornication so that you live free of this sin. If you follow the steps written in this on and that one you will be equipped to fight and win fornication.
You can win this!

Ugochi Oritsejolomisan
Posted at 09:43h, 24 JuneHello Foly,
I am glad that you yielded to The Holy Spirit’s promptings. If you follow everything you have read, you will be equipped to never fall for fornication again. Refuse guilt, if you have asked for forgiveness then God has forgiven you. You are nineteen with so much ahead of you to achieve, I suggest you focus on your education so that you will not live a mediocre life.
You are not trapped in this relationship Foly, true love will always do the things that please God only.
Read your Bible and never cease talking to God, and make up your mind that you will, and can live free of sexual sin.
You can win this!

Posted at 15:23h, 03 JuneHello everyone We can do all things through Christ who stregthens us. I was delivered from the spirit of fornication and felt relief after I was delivered. I wanted to choose God with all my heart. I thought about if I did it again I would be worse condition. I thought about God dwelling in me and how fornication welcomes evil spirits from that person and who ever he has slept with and those spirits they have given him can com inside me. Pray!!! pray!!! prayme!. Cry out to God!!! You can cast that demon out and the name of Jesus!!! Choose LIFE!! not death.

Posted at 23:09h, 23 MayHello I have committed a great sin against God. I am fighting porn addiction and it is hard for me to resist fornication because there is a lady that has the hots for me. I just looked at porn a few minutes ago after I asked God for forgiveness. Now I feel really angry and ashamed of myself. I ask for the Holy Spirit to come upon me to purify my mind and heart but I just go back to it. I think God has given up on me. I have joined 12 step groups to fight this. But when I am alone is when I am most vulnerable. Just recently I was with the woman who likes me and we ended up fornicating. I was so angry with myself that I have been in a bad mood all week and feel like a failure. I want to do what’s right as a I am a struggling follower of Christ. Could you please pray for me

Posted at 18:42h, 21 MayDear Malisa, Its really hard to avoid fornication when your in a relationship with anyone who seduces you or causes you to be tempted, even with a stranger. Think for a moment and think if this sin is worth losing my salvation Jesus has given to me. I struggle a lot with my single life, for I have never had sex, but it’s not easy controlling ones sexual urges. I’m 22, and it’s been hard, but God has helped me avoid fornication by just not being in a relationship, but I’ve had a heavy addiction with pornography, for or would be the only way for me to avoid fornication, but that itself is sin. I always try to run away from my urges, but remember fornication is one that can affect your body. God has been graceful, and wants you to seek him, shout out to him to free you!! I’ll pray for you for I love you in Christ. Remember not to give up, do it for God and your body the temple of Christ. Gby

Posted at 23:26h, 02 MarchWatch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41 For the spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power love and self discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

Posted at 02:45h, 28 DecemberI got into things when I was pretty young. When I was 10 a female friend I had tried to make me fornicate with her. I was very innocent at that age and didn’t know what was going on. I got curious though and then I started going online and accidently stumbled on a porn site. I didn’t really know what was going on there either but I kept getting more and more curious to the point where I was doing some really stupid things that lead me to a VERY dark path. Out of nowhere, I lost everything. I had no one to talk to and no more distractions. This was when I gave my life to God. After this, I had met a man(now my fiance). Before this, I’ve never been in a “real” relationship so, again, I got curious. Now that I’m saved God has delivered me from pornography and a lot of other horrible things of the kind, but now I’m struugling with fornifacation. No matter what I do it seems I can’t stop and I want to so bad. I don’t want to seem like a hypocritical christian because God knows I have a huge desire to serve him. I’m battling but I almost feel as if I want to give up. I know I can’t though. I don’t want the desires of my past to come back, I just need help and prayer.

Posted at 19:18h, 21 SeptemberThanks so much ugochi! I just told a girl who had been my sex partner that I don’t need to fornicate with her again . She started sending me text messages, cursing me & my generation but the funny part of it all is ; she texted me that over her dead body I will progress or have a cry of a baby in my family. But am not moved at all b’cos I know I ve got a good reason to quit. What do u think?

Posted at 04:26h, 09 SeptemberHello, thanks for the post. My story is that at a young age, I began watching porn and that has shaped my life into my desires today. I’ve always wanted to know what it felt like. I had a pornography addiction and thus led to masturbation. In high school, I was tricked by a boy to do something I have never done before and that was to give him a blow job. I have done this twice for him until I pulled away. Then for no reason whatsoever, my desires came back and I fornicated with a stranger I had never met before. Also, I was recently in a relationship where we kissed, touched, and had sex OUTSIDE. I feel so ashamed of myself. I prayed and cried and promised God to change me yet I did not have the willing heart to overcome it. I’m currently talking to another man who I’ve had sex with within a week of meeting. Its not that I cant keep my legs closed but its desires and thoughts from the mind like you said. Just wanting to “have fun” but I feel so ashamed of myself. I wish I can go back and change my life as a whole. I want God to take over and heal me but I do not hear his voice when I’m in those situations. I would like to repent to finish my school work then start dating but I do not know how to truly give myself to God and forgive myself, and move on.
Ugochi Jolomi
Posted at 12:55h, 09 SeptemberGod is more interested in your present and future than your past. And if you call on Him in total surrender He will help you, that is the beginning point. He is the one who has put in you the desire for a fresh start and it is left for you to pursue Him in search of fulfilling that desire.
Please send me a mail at teshuva7@gmail.com , I would like to talk with you some more.You can overcome this!!!
Have a super blessed day!

Posted at 14:54h, 02 JulyI’m 18. I love my boyfriend a lot and I’m a true believer. I want to get married to him next year just to not fornication but my father wouldn’t allow me to get married at this kind of age.can I have a secret wedding and then later have the one with family and friends around? I don’t want to commit fornication
Ugochi Jolomi

Joselyn
Posted at 01:30h, 16 AprilMa, I have realized in the course of my word study that marriage comes to play not necessarily because of aging but because of “burning”.
Many Christians like myself are.encouraged to get married than to have burning passion that makes us fornicate or masturbate or even commit adultery. But in the case of Bianca here, she wants to get married at 18 (that’s if she isn’t already married), even though we would think ordinarily that’s a young age where she should face her studies like her father rejected. Another senerio for adults is where the man they are dating are not financially stable yet even d lady is yet to gain financial stability and as such waiting till then for marriage.
The questions now are
1. Getting married to avoid burning passion regardless the age is something. Since marriage ain’t all about sex, with other values accrued to Marriage, should people be encouraged to get married when they obviously arnt ready for the responsibilities but can be saved from fornication?
2. Since adults who are waiting to gain fianacial balance are still “burning” at their individual levels (thanks to the society), should they be made to get married to avoid fornication (talking from the church perspective and not family now), when they are still struggling to make ends meet
3. For an adult lady who is dating a financially unstable guy and has burning passions she is fighting with, knowing fully well that the man she is with may need about 3 more years to be stable logically speaking except a miracle takes place), should she leave the man she has grown to love to marry a financially stable man who is ready for marriage regardless of what God thinks of such a man, all so that she stops fornicating?
4. If great Paul said it’s better to marry than to burn… Then I think we should just marry who is ready to marry us because at a certain age in some culture, you begin to get pressured till u are married. But with many rites and processes, in the western culture some men can’t go tru the stress of legal marriage but will go for the church wedding. My question is how do we cajole our partners to marry us since we don’t want to fornicate seeing all the stress involved?
5. Lastly, a lot of my friends are getting married already and all of us have all had se* with our partners. But one of us is getting married in 2 months time and she tells the rest of us that we shouldn’t date anyone who isn’t ready for marriage. She said we should go for who is ready…. The question is should we really go for who is ready regardless of how we feel towards the man or should we just wait for our spouses?
NOTE:
ME AND MY BOYFRIEND (NOT YET FIANCE SINCE HE HASNT PROPOSED), HAVE STOPPED TO FORNICATE AND WE ARE GROWING IN LOVE OUTSIDE OF THE SEXUAL CONTEXT. I DONT KNOW ABOUT MY FRIENDS BUT THIS IS THE PLATFORM AM OPERATING ON.
I NEED YOUR ANS TO BE PLACED OPENLY PLEASE AND NOT EMAILED
THANKS

Posted at 06:02h, 16 AprilHi Joselyn,
Thanks for taking the time to read this blog and asking these questions I believe are bugging many single people today.
My answer is a bit lengthy and the numbering does not necessary tally with yours, but in them you will find answers to all the questions you have asked.
Let me begin by saying that marriage does not cure fornication.
The cure for sin is resting on the redemptive work of Christ on the cross, obedience to God’s word and leaning on His Spirit.
1. Concerning the scripture you talked about…1 Corinthians 7:7-9 AMP
7 I wish that all the people were as I am; but each person has his own gift from God, one of this kind and one of that. 8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, [that as a practical matter] it is good if they remain [single and entirely devoted to the Lord] [a]as I am. 9 But if they do not have [sufficient] self-control, they should marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
Apostle Paul was a Eunuch by choice, he was talking to the Corinthian Church and us. He is saying that he wishes everyone can be like him and stay unmarried in other to devote themselves completely to God without the distraction marriage can pose. He said further that some people are called to be Eunuchs, it is a gift, they can stay unmarried and not burn.
He advised that those who are not called to be Eunuchs (Widows and singles) should marry so they do not burn with passion. He wasn’t prescribing marriage as a cure to the sin of fornication.
Responsibility for a believer includes the ability to say no to desires of the flesh. So no matter how responsible anyone is, if they are not responsible in the area of controlling the flesh, they cannot be said to be responsible. Remember, marriage does not cure fornication.
2. Financial stability is relative. In my own opinion, a financially stable man is one who has a roof over his head, a steady income, financial prudence, can feed his wife and has a great future. This is especially true if the lady is not a liability, that is, she is virtuous.
When I married my husband, there was nothing in his financial or material state to attract me. I only saw love for God which was my greatest desire, and I saw a man who has a great future with God.
He had roof over his head, a job and could take care of me to an extent, at least we had food on the table. I know many other couples like us who started with almost nothing but have a different story today.
We should marry more for love. Love does not fail, but money can fail.
3. If anyone has to cajole someone to marry him/her, then there will be plenty of cajoling to stay in the marriage, this cannot be sustained for too long and there will definitely be a collapse someday.
For any marriage to succeed, the man and woman must be convinced in their hearts not by some cajoling…
Please remember that marriage does not solve the problem of fornication.
4. What does your friend mean by “ready”? Is she talking money?
I believe that money is important in marriage but should not be the “reason” for marriage. Ladies must be willing to marry God’s plan for their lives regardless of whether or not the man has arrived financially. The basics I mentioned earlier is enough to start a marriage.
Marriage thrives better on love than any other thing.
MARRIAGE DOES NOT CURE FORNICATION.
If it does, we would not have the problem of adultery. Fornication is sin like lying, stealing, cheating, hatred, unforgiveness…
It must be dealt with by the help of God’s Word and Spirit. The Bible says because of Christ’s work on the cross, ‘sin shall not have dominion over us.’ So we must fight to put sin where it belongs, we cannot run into marriage with hopes of conquering fornication.
No person will be with their spouse 24/7, so when his/her spouse is not around and he/she is “burning” what happens? Will they now look for the next available man or woman to help quench the passion?
So you see, we need to deal with sin like it should be dealt with, there is no escape from sin except by yielding to The Holy Spirit and obeying God’s Word.
Joseph refused fornication, not by running to get married but by refusing to do great evil and sin against God.
This should be our reaction to fornication and any other sin.
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 1 Thessalonians 4:3
I trust that this reply has answered your questions.
I think you should read MARRIAGE FOR? and LIES AND MARRIAGE. Please share with your friends too. It answers some of the questions in more details.
Hope to hear from you again. Have a super blessed weekend!
Love

Posted at 13:25h, 29 AprilHi. Fornication is only as powerful as one lets it – I’ve lost many a battle to fornication. It’s one sin that shatters my relationship with Christ. Perfect example of doing what I will not and finding how much of a depraved state I am without Christ in me. I struggle with pornography thus leading to masturbation but sometimes it feels like I can never fall into sexual immorality only for me to fall into it again. Being unmarried makes it harder but everything is possible with GOD so I fight on. Thank you for your post Ugochi and everyone that contributed.
Ugochi Jolomi
Posted at 13:31h, 29 AprilIt is a big struggling when you try to win over it by yourself. Surrendering completely to Jesus, dumping pornography for good, fleeing every situation that might suggest it with you, leaving friends and atmospheres that aid it… will put you on the way to victory.
Ndubuisi
Posted at 17:27h, 29 AprilAmen. I just learnt it’s not a battle we were called to fight but one we are meant to flee.. Proverbs 5:7-8. 1 Corinthians 6:18 makes it perfectly clear.. I felt very free after commenting and confessing to the LORD.. Thanks again and may the good LORD continue to be with you as you do HIS work..

O.k
Posted at 09:30h, 18 SeptemberWow!!! “This kind of blog dey???” Sorry for bad language but am so filled with hope, answers and instructions on the way to go from here on, after reading a whole lot of your posts and contributions from folks like me. My problems can really be fixed by a push of a button.. that’s Jesus! That is what i have sumnarized from all I’ve read here.
Ma! You are blessed with wisdom from above.. I am unfortunately guilty of almost all the sins mentioned here(masturbation,pornography,premarital sex, fornication, cheating, dirty talks, dirty thoughts…etc) am 31 today and i want to get married so i can stop fornication but i know better now that its not by marriage that i over come fornication but by giving my life completely over to Jesus. Am gainfully employed as a civil Engr. Am an Msc graduate and i live in a onebedroom rented appartement.
I need Jesus badly in my life because sin has kept me in chains and stopped me from progressing to be the Godfearing man i should be. Am in so much financial mess due to a gambling habit i picked up recently. Am in debt of nearly #400,000 but deep down i know once i repent fully and embrace Jesus completely i will be made free and whole again. But my current relationship with my girl friend has kept me in all these sins and more.. each time i try to focus on God only..she says am breaking up with her but when i try to continue with her i leave God’s presence and all these sins come back and mess me up more..please apart from the obvious advise of Repentance and Godly living.. how do i become the man am suppose to be and who should be my choice for a wife? (An entirely new girl or one of the 3 girls I’ve had and kept on fornicating with?)
But truth is i want to settle down ma.. i need help.. feel free to publish reply and inbox me more personal advice..
God bless and happy sunday..

Posted at 20:08h, 06 MarchLove this Ugochi. I’ve written and talked about pursuing and protecting purity and sad to say it’s not a very popular stance. I think in today’s culture we want to have our cake and eat it, live boundary-less lives, abandon discipline and common sense, “have fun”…and still reap God’s blessings and cover! Such a needed perspective today. (and i loved your post on 14 friends couples should watch out for! On point! Shared it and folks loved it)
Ugochi Jolomi
Posted at 20:54h, 06 MarchVery unfortunate Ngina! But God will help us to help one person at a time as we let our world know it displeases God and that it is possible to leave sex until after marriage.
I am grateful to know you loved my couples’ friends post and shared it too. Thanks a lot for taking the time to leave this encouragement, have a super blessed weekend!

Posted at 07:06h, 07 FebruaryVery sensible advice and undoubtedly needed by many.
Not everyone has the same weaknesses and it is our own weaknesses we must both recognize and address.
However, as to mutuality in a relationship, not everyone wants to communicate. My wife is especially solitary and private and we know we don’t communicate well. We also married late and are celibate – she doesn’t like physical touch at all! 🙂
THAT keeps ME pretty safe! 😆
Another area to address is unfaithfulness – including that of the MIND and imagination – and my fantasies are things I have had to reject. Not sexual ones, but those putting myself into another time (earlier or later) and finding someone who is ‘more compatible’ – when I KNOW God has chosen my wife FOR me!
So, I confront them and REJECT them and confess to God that all He does in my life is RIGHT and that I have responsibilities, one of the first of which is to give my wife all the love and respect and honor she deserves!
The PRACTICE of godly love, then, is another aspect of this.
Ugochi Jolomi
Posted at 08:51h, 07 FebruaryWow! Thanks a lot for the lessons you shared here. I bet you and your wife are working on communicating well, God is your help.
Yes, it is good to confront and not ignore our challenges, ignoring them won’t make them go away.
I appreciate your coming by and leaving this note, do have a super blessed weekend!

Ugochi Jolomi
Posted at 23:10h, 30 JanuaryFlee!!! Like Joseph did, especially since you are struggling with stopping. I believe if you really want to stop, you have to be drastic about it. Take action, physical in this case and run for your life! Even if you have to go squat somewhere…

Ugochi Jolomi
Posted at 09:28h, 20 JanuaryIf anyone is willing, God is able to grant them strength and grace to deal with their flesh. We all can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. God is not a task master, He will not ask you to do what you are not able to do. 1 John 5:3
Any girl that wants you to disobey God is not worth marrying, wait for the one whom will share the same grounds of faith with you. And MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO OBEY GOD!
Bright
Posted at 06:55h, 17 DecemberThat was truly an inspiring piece. Thank u so much. Most of the time, sexual sins are committed in ‘private’ places, if we can, therefore, eliminate this factor, I believe we will be victorious.
No matter how ‘strong’ u think u re in the Lord, God will NOT guarantee u complete protection from sexua sins if u don’t FLEE.
Thus, bottom line is, don’t stay alone with that person. It is always wiser to go to the gates to fight the enemies who have come to attack us than to allow and fight them in our rooms.
Ugochi Jolomi
Posted at 09:59h, 17 DecemberI agree with you Bright. To avoid and to flee is very important in the bid to please God in our sexual lives. Thanks for coming by Bright, I hope to see you here often.
Shonna
Posted at 03:29h, 12 DecemberTo those women and men out there who are struggling in this area. I would like to encourage you to please be STRONG. Lean on the Father to help you. I know it can be extremely hard when you are used to living a life of sexual immorality. Most of us have, but we must remember that this who are fornicators and adulterers WILL NOT enter the Kingdom of heaven. There are not is, ands or buts.
That being said, lean on his strength, and as our sister points out in this article, there are some action steps that we must take to avoid this sin and cleave to sexual purity. This also means leaving out kissing, touching, and all those other things “in between” that make us think what we are doing is okay.
I have learned that having certain boundaries are key. For example, some of the ones I stick to (that are just personally for me, you don’t have to agree..) are- not talking on the phone with men. If they must contact me for a school project or work business, then it must be through email as a first option. (then if not possible, by phone), no texting my phone, I don’t give hugs, only hand shakes to men, When I am in public speaking to men, i keep ALL conversations about appropriate topics (I never talk about my relationship status, children, goals, dreams, finances… I always make sure that I am not like an open book for a man. It can be that for some men, when they see a vulnerable side of you, they can prey on you, even subconciously (not good). I also don’t go on dates or eat private lunches with men at work or school. I go to every length to never ride alone in a car with a man or let HIM discuss his personal life with me (such as kids, relationship status, goals, dreams, family issues and so on.
Some may think that these are extreme, but when the bible says flee fornication, you have to begin to actually hate that sin! Don’t give room for it nor entertain that evil spirit.
Everyone’s boundaries will be different but it is best to have some. It is already hard enough struggling against it within ourselves let alone having to deal with outside pressure. Also, it is better to keep someone at a distance ( from the begining), than to try and have someone back off once you have let them get too close and you both then become tempted.
We must never rely on the strength you think someone else has but make sure that you are not sinning. Lastly, I would like to pose a question to all my brothers and sister that are battling with this. What do you think is that main thing that causes people to commit sexual sin? I have thought about this question, and I will state my opinion. I believe there are many factors, however there is one BIG ONE that comes to mind for both the believers and the unbelievers. BE CAREFUL OF YOUR EMOTIONS!!
Once you open up your heart to someone ans start telling them about your whole life or venting to them about your problems or how difficult it is for you to be a single mother or things like that, it opens a door. Also when you begin to spend all of your time with someone and go out on dates and let them into your space and cooking for them (like was mentioned on this article), it begin to lead you down a path to fornication in most cases. Please be careful. Dont be so quick to think “oh I really like this person” and then start acting as if your already married to that person. Feel out the situation and make your choices wisely. Once you have already slept with someone, it then becomes harder to get out and its easy to indulge and keep going back and it can easily become a stronghold or in worst cases, an addiction. Please be wise brother and sisters.

Posted at 00:56h, 02 DecemberHi Ugochi-
I was searching for encouragement tonight and found it here! Thank you. My boyfriend and I have already sinned, and I want to stop, I’m not sure if he is completely on board! I feel like he needs to want to stop fornicating for himself, but I am committed to treat my body as a temple and honor God. Thanks again for your article. God bless!

Posted at 11:14h, 02 DecemberAmen! You are heading the right direction, and God will help you as you stand to please Him in obeying Him.

Posted at 14:31h, 16 SeptemberThank you for your timely response Ugochi. May your ministry to encourage the brethren in righteousness and true holiness be enlarged. May the blessings overtake you. And may the God that is more than enough (El Shaddai) be your portion. Amen

Posted at 00:29h, 16 SeptemberI’m a lady and most guys try to take advantage of me, especially when they see that i truly love them. Them. Recently i tried to date another guy and this guy is trying to force me into fornication which i don’t want to do. Meanwhile he is in the church and a preacher I don’t understand why he should be fornicating.
Ugochi
Posted at 14:42h, 16 SeptemberHello Ama, so many people live in their flesh though they are professed believers.I am glad you do not want to fornicate but if you hang out with fornicators long enough they might influence you. Any man that wants you to disobey God is not the right man for you. Whether he is a preacher or not. Flee from such men, keep your self holy and God will bring His best man to you.

Posted at 14:14h, 15 SeptemberThank you. I came across this site randomly because of an incident involving my child. But as I read I use this counsel for myself. I am not sexually active but it is soooo harddddd! !!! It hurts! This has been the life I was acquainted with not abstinence! Nevertheless I press. I live like a hermit in my home. I don’t really socialize. And my male suitors I keep at a distance as I am a very affectionate touchy feely person. I am not in a relationship right now but I so desire my husband because I don’t know how long I can bear up. I find myself masturbating, something I never liked even before I converted. Now I do it. I am blessed physically in that I am beautiful, tall, shapely and well endowed and talented and I am presently doing my degree in theology, and so I am faced often with men thinking I have a boyfriend or having sex. I have neither but I long for it!! Yet I am afraid of a relationship or falling in love because my sexual desire for him will increase and I know I don’t have that will power. And my past experiences with relationships were meet, mutual like, exchange contact info, plenty communication, and by a month or so sex! So I don’t even know this friendship thing! I feel so hopeless in this area that I just think to just do it and get it over with. Sighhh. Anyhow like I said thanks for the counsel.
Ugochi
Posted at 15:12h, 15 SeptemberHello Kareen, it is a good thing that you came clean on your challenge. God knows where you are and He knows you have the ability to control your sensuality otherwise He would not say, “For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:” 1 Thessalonians 4:3 His commandments are not too hard,”For the [true] love of God is this: that we do His commands [keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and teaching]. And these orders of His are not irksome (burdensome, oppressive, or grievous).” 1 John 5:3
Amplified Bible (AMP)
If you make up your mind and depend on God, think of the consequences of committing fornication or masturbating, you will buffet your body as you STUDY THE WORD AND SPEND TIME IN PRAYER… following the steps as written will help you put your sexual desires under control. YOU CAN DO IT, if you really mean it and follow hard after God. I pray you make the choice. Have a great week ahead!

Posted at 18:00h, 09 Septemberwhat is the advice for those who are engaged already?
Ugochi
Posted at 08:43h, 18 SeptemberThis same as what is written in the article. Sex is legal in God’s book ONLY AFTER MARRIAGE, no matter how seriously engaged the two people are. If you read carefully, you will discover that those in relationships were mentioned too. I pray you make the right decisions in your relationship and allow God to be glorified in it. Thanks a lot for coming by, do have a super blessed day!

Posted at 15:29h, 22 AugustI really appreciate this article because so many people are currently fighting their way out of sexual sin and with an article such as this one, I think we’ll have a better chance in winning this battle.
I pray that God Almighty that gave you the inspiration to write down this article will continue to increase you both in faith and in wisdom in Jesus Name; all what you have written will not stand against you in Judgment in Jesus Name. Amen.
God Bless you

Posted at 13:57h, 16 AugustLovely and indeed wonderful advice to us, but sister I have something to ask, firstly I had an encounter with Christ just last year January in which later I was filled with The spirit of God, but a time of temptation came to commit fornication with my step mother’s house-help which I avoided for some time but a time came when it appeared impossible for me and I struggled but the pressure was too high then I failed, now my question is based on how hard I fought not to commit it, can God intentionally allow someone to fall just for a purpose? Because now I am a youth leader.
Ugochi
Posted at 13:57h, 20 AugustMy brother, God does not want us to learn from experience of sin, He would rather that we learn from His Instructions as written in His word. Only disobedience makes us learn by experience, and many times experience is a cruel teacher.
Jeffrey
Posted at 10:04h, 26 JulyI sincerely appreciate your article, but would like if you can talk more on the areas of identifying sexual preys before marriage. What I mean is simply that, there are some persons that are sexual traps because of some certain things they do, like the way they dress, talk, mentality, their hobbies and even the places they love going. I think is high time we started addressing the issue of preparedness before dating, some things are unavoidable when some things are not avoided. Men are attracted by what they see while women by what they hear. When women start dressing decently according to 1peter 3:3-5 and the men start talking responsibly the problem and sinful nature of fornicating will be minimal. God bless
Ugochi
Posted at 14:39h, 26 JulyI agree that these would help in the area of fornication. But you must understand that we live in a sin filled world and cannot avoid seeing sin, the men must resolve not to be moved by what they see and thinking of the consequences as I stated would help them tame their minds against sinning by what they see. I however have addressed indecent dressing by our ladies, just click HERE and read it.

Posted at 21:44h, 21 JulyThis is something I find it difficult to pull out from. Cos I really love my Fiance’ and can’t resist him. He has always tried to make us stop too but we end up do it again. We r tired of it. I hope there will be a Change after following d above steps. But its not easy.
Ugochi
Posted at 22:19h, 21 JulyIf you allow the follow the Love of and for God lead you. You will receive the ability to say no. And then when you think of the consequences you will flee.
I will keep you in prayers.

Posted at 16:20h, 28 MarchA million thanks Anty Ugochi for ur advice.
But there is a story i was told by my friend that a man once dumped his fiancee on her wedding day simply because she refuse to submit herself to him.
My question now is; peradventure you were told in a prophecy that the man that proposed to you would remain your husband forever but all of a sudden he let you down just like i described above, should we then say is the work of the devil or a false prophecy?
And secondly, lets assume that the girl in question had vowed never to let go until after her wedding but due to the pressure from her family members she finally give in just to secure the relationship would God ever forgive her?
Ugochi
Posted at 19:42h, 28 MarchFirst Lucy, any man who fears God would not suggest that a lady disobey God to please Him. So my take to a Christian sister is that any man who wants her to commit fornication is not the right man for her.
Second, God’s prophecy will not permit or suggest sin, no matter how “strong” the prophet is. God’s word should always be our standard…
Third, we should stand with God and resist pressures to sin, no matter how strong and who from…
Love for God and the desire to please Him should restrain us and we should always think of the eternal consequences of sin.
FINALLY! GOD WILL FORGIVE ANY SIN ONCE HE FINDS GENUINE REPENTANCE.
Thanks a lot Lucy for coming by, I hope you learnt something and I hope you will come by often.
Have a super blessed Easter!!!

Posted at 19:07h, 26 JanuaryThis is a great summary, Ugochi. I’m preparing to teach Sexual Integrity classes for youth groups and Christian schools, and Lord willing, in some public schools. Through the training, I’ve learned the importance of setting boundaries, which I think is such a huge step to staying pure. In my own relationship, I’ve noticed the importance of prayer and also avoiding the situations that would become tempting. So important. Not easy, but as you said, with God it’s possible. I think you inspired me to write another post on purity. 🙂
Thanks for speaking the truth, sister!

Posted at 15:40h, 29 JanuaryThanks Becca, it sure is possible with God. I am glad you found it useful.

Girl, you got it right on the head. In our culture, we literally need to RUN away from temptation since it is ALL around us.
Thank you for your words of truth and for linking up with us this week!

Posted at 10:48h, 18 JanuaryIt takes a lot for one to dare to voice a contrary opinion about something that a lot of people trivialize or excuse- it takes one who fears God and is willing to abide by His principles for living. I have come to realize, in the course of my walk with God, that His instructions/guidelines are not meant to stifle us, or stop us from having fun, but it is for our protection and our good in the long run. Fornication carries too much unnecessary emotional baggage, apart from the spiritual consequences, and the pains are much more than the gains, if there are any gains to be had. I know it is possible not to fornicate, but first, one has to be willing not to, and also agree with God that it is wrong. Let’s call bad, that which God calls bad and not justify it with our own human reasoning.
Thanks for sharing this girl and a happy new year to you. May all your righteous dreams never lack expression. Well done sis.

Posted at 16:11h, 14 MayI am feeling lost right now. I gave my life to Christ at 11 years, I abstained and help 1 corinthians 6 as my watch word. I was violated at 29 by a close friend, tried to make it work, it did not cos he was not a bornagain. I stayed singer for several years and two years ago I got married. My hubby was charting the same nite we married in court with his lover-or ext until 1:30 AM, i found out i was hurt, still many lies were unfolding and disloyalties, i prayed fasted, prayed with him, he was still deceitful, then I told him to be honest or give me some space- but he walked away and filed a divorce with his sister’s help.. being hurt, an old friend showed up and helped me when i was stranded, offered some help and one week-end took me for dinner, on dropping me off, i was complaining and crying and in the process of trying to calm me, he began caressing me and still having the wonderful experience of my ex in my head, i gave him two condoms to double and he had sex with me- he stopped cos i just screamed God what is happening to me am lost- he stopped and said am sorry I can’t do this to u, God please for give me, I cried till day break cos while he was making love to me in my tears, all i saw was my ex- husband but I know it was not him, I feel disconnected, I feel am not hearing from God, I feel like I have lost my annointing.. am indifferent.. please advice and pray for me…

Posted at 01:44h, 17 MayMaria, go to God and ask for mercy and forgiveness, He forgives.
Then begin doing everything as I have written here, “bury” yourself in God’s word, it has the ability to cleanse you and help you live right. Do not neglect prayers, spend time just worship and praising God, His presence empowers you to live above sin and reproach.
I pray God’s grace and strength upon you in Jesus mighty name! Amen!
