2 YOUNG

I was watching a second half of this movie acted by Jaycee Chan (son of Jackie Chan) and Eric Tsang about pre-marital sex and teen pregnancy yesterday and I never regretted watching it (at least I have something to blog about now).

From this

As I was watching the movie, a thought came to my mind that the statistics of teen pregnancy and pre-marital sex have been growing more and more. It saddens me even more when I watch a show and even read in the papers that being a virgin is now a taboo in our society these days.

Malaysia, an Islamic country or a country when religion plays an important role in every person’s life and that abstinence is always thought in church, in the religious classes and also in the mosque, is now not being heeded by the people living in this modernized country.

What’s happening and why? The moral decay in our society is getting deeper and are we doing anything about it?
To this

Think about it, at the age of 16, 17, how about even at the age of 24, are we ready to have children? I’m 27 and I am still not ready to have a child.

The word of God says that when a man and woman come together, they are one. God also speaks of having pre-marital sex is sin.

One must realize that every action comes with a reaction. When one practices sex out of marriage (pre-marital sex and adultery), there will always be consequences – unplanned pregnancy, which may or may not lead to abortion, AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis and many more). Even if a person escapes from these consequences, one thing that they cannot escape – upon marriage (the moment they say I do), warfare against marriage launch by the enemy will start in the spiritual realm and that’s when other consequences will come up – arguments, fights, spousal abuse, misunderstandings and many more leading to divorces.

Statistic has shown that 90% of divorce cases have a history where either or both spouses practiced pre-marital sex.

What has also happened to standing up for our virginity? Is the current trend and pressure from society too strong that we are so weak to say no to pre-marital sex?

We cannot stop interceding for our people, especially our young people when the influence of the media – movies, music and MTVs are all around us. Spread the Word of God. Pray and stand in the gap on behalf of our land.

What best time than to do it this week since Bishop Margaret Idahosa and team are here. The meeting is on everyday starting today. Cancel the curse that the devil has put on our lives. Break the enemy’s stronghold on our families and friends. Claim back ALL that the devil has stolen from us and announce outpouring of blessings from God upon our future generation and ourselves.
