VIRGINITY; SIGNIFICANCE OF BEING A VIRGIN

Why should I remain a virgin? This is what many young people ask, everyone want to
defile his or herself because they don’t know the reason to remain a virgin; many young people think it is nothing much to remain a virgin, but it is.

True life story

A young girl called Maria, had sex with her boyfriend, recalls: Afterwards I felt embarrassed and ashamed. I hated myself and I hated my boyfriend.

In reality, premarital sex is often an emotionally painful experience with devastating consequences.

Joseph of the bible was also faced with such situation. His master’s wife has repeatedly implored him to have sex with her. Now, she is trying again but Joseph is not tempted rather he replied “How can I commie this great wickedness against my God” Even to the extent of grabbing hold of Joseph, he refused and was not embarrassed to flee.

Don’t allow five minutes of enjoyment and pleasure to stop you from achieving your aim and success in life – Vincent Okoro.

Do you know that Joseph also had sexual urges like many young people today, but because he had moral integrity and was striving to maintain his virginity and aimed at pleasing God, he never deflowered himself; glorify God with your body. You need to be convinced that moral uncleanness offends God and also you in person, so strive to maintain your virginity which is your dignity.

As a young person the urge for sex will keep rising but to a large extent it is normal. In this our generation virgins are seen as outdated people but the Bible tells you to abstain from fornication (1 Thessalonians 4:3). Still you might find it difficult to control your sexual urges.

Your virginity is your pride, if you discover that someone is not yet married and not a virgin, what comes into your mind? You having sex now is just devaluing yourself. To an extent, many young people cannot control sex because they are pulled by their own desires and pushed by peers.

So many young people ask this question; why would God give young people sexual desires, knowing that they should not use them until after marriage? Sexual urges are not the only feelings you have, because man is an emotional being that responds to stimuli. You feel wide range of emotions but because young people are so much concerned about sex, that is why it is, as if sex is the only urge we fell, and God also gave us the capability to control our actions. You can’t stop the urge for sex but you can control your reaction towards it.

“Avoid association with people who lack moral standards, even if they share the same religious beliefs with you”.

“engaging in premarital sex is like opening a gifts before it has been given  to you”, that is why it is important every young persons should wait; having sex after marriage is something glorious in turn it is the appropriate time God want you to engage in sex. But if you are already deflowered, know that the past is gone and you can create a better future. For no reason, don’t tell anyone you are not a virgin so that they won’t use it against you instead tell them you are still a virgin and Endeavour to keep a standard by making your  future clean and abstaining from sex.

If your are a virgin, God is really proud of you, and we are saying HOLD, AND MAINTAIN IT.
