Long Distance Relationship

Before you jump on that bus to go visit boo or bae this holiday, please take a minute to read this.

One thing I try to do with my confessions is to stand in that little gap between the word you hear preached at church and it's practical application in our everyday life. It will be amazing to hear my pastor preach that God dwells in the third heavens, that would be fantastic! I will scream, I will shout, I will write down all the scripture references to study in my quiet time, halleluyah!! What a powerful Rhema Sir! But if I cannot apply that knowledge to work in my life and in my relationship with other people then I'm sorry pastor, I don't need that information.

These days people are no longer in error because they do not know the word, as a matter of fact we do, so very well. We have memorized all the scriptures by heart, we have discovered new Bible verses to debate tithes and offerings, we know all the Psalms and Proverbs, but our biggest challenge is knowing how to practically apply the word to work in our life.

What I aim to achieve with my confessions is not to recycle the sermons you hear preached at your local assembly every sunday, the goal is to teach you how to live in the understanding of the word, touching those delicate areas that our pastors will normally not address on the altar.hmmm, wish they know that the areas they are shying away from addressing are the areas that are drying up our spiritual life the most.

So yea. Before you buy that bus ticket for bae to come over, before you pack that shower cap, hair net, sexy night gown, and those multicolored panties with rose flowers and jump on that early morning bus to go spend the weekend with your boo of life this holiday, the first thing you need to do is to make the covenant law.

THE COVENANT LAW is a personal agreement between you and God. A personal decision in your heart to stay away from sex and all the other things related to unhealthy youthful passions like romance, smooshing, let me sit on your laps, let me lie on your chest while we are in bed, I just want to feel your body I'm catching cold, etc. The thing is, you need to enter into a personal agreement with God that sex and all his other brothers will not be heard of in your relationship, and let it serve as a covenant that binds your faith as a believer. Once your heart is rooted in this covenent it is going to be really difficult to break, because you now carry the consciousness that it is not about you anymore, you are now strongly accountable to someone else, someone higher; God.

The second thing you need to do is the covenant of agreement.

THE COVENANT OF AGREEMENT is the one we are always encouraged to do in Amos 3:3; "Two cannot walk together unless they agree."

It is not enough to make a covenant law with God to keep sex away, that is a personal promise, how about your partner? Are they in agreement with you?. You also need to make a covenant of agreement with your partner in other for this goal to be achieved. This is never going to work if you two do not agree to stay away from the flesh. He has to be willing to do this. She has to be willing to do this as well. Your partner has to want sexual purity as much as you do. They have to be an agreement between you two, which means your partner has to first make a covenant law with God, before entering into a covenant agreement with you, that way, he/she will stay completely ruled by the fear of the Lord, working honestly with you to make sure you both stay true to your covenant promise.

I'm trying not to make this a very long post so you don't get bored of reading. I just wanted to make sure that you know how important these laws are to staying true to our love walk with God, even in our relationships. I will share practical things you can do to stay right with God as you make that trip. lease follow the rest of the teaching in the comment session below, and if you think I'm going to ask you to go and stay over with boo, you lie!
