SEX AND REPRODUCTION.
•Genesis 1:28 - KJV
Sex is one of the enabling factors that effect God's word on the subject of reproduction.
In as far as sex is concerned, there's a pattern of application that is suitable to God - The one enjoyed in the bond of holy matrimony.
When reproduction is mentioned in the Bible, so many ignorant believers tie it to only the physical human procreation without taking into careful consideration the place of God in the helm of affairs which in all percentage is purely spiritual.
Fruitfulness in the Bible isn't only tied to childbearing but the ability for spiritual men to subdue the earth, expand the gospel of the kingdom and have dominion over principalities, powers and everything that exists on earth.
(Acts 1:8 KJV )
It is this shallow mindset of what reproduction really entails that has caused so many Christians to rush into marital conjugation as to enable them "free" themselves from the yoke of fornication.
Even the Bible admonished that to avoid fornication, every man should own a wife and a woman her husband(1Corinthians 7:2 KJV)
Reproduction if viewed from the authentic perspective of spirituality, will give Believers the burden of making sure they risk themselves to get more souls saved to the side of God, and raising spiritual children that will honor the footsteps/traditions in Christ as observed by the spiritual fathers.
(Galatians 4:19 NLT, Philemon 1:10 AMP, 1Timothy 1:2 NLT)
Just like the popular comment: "when the worth of something is unknown, abuse is inevitable" so it is when the subject of reproduction come to the mind of those who are carnally minded.
In as much as we want to have a deeper knowledge of what reproduction and other kingdom terminologies mean, we should avail ourselves to the mentorship of the Holy Spirit who is the teacher assigned to help us have better understanding of truths and mysteries in Christ.
Sex is the highest sought for as far as carnal knowledge of intimacy is concerned.
If this kind of strength humans exercise towards seeking that which is but for a moment is being applied in our quest for a lifetime walk with God, how much of God will we seek?
In other words, the believers' intimacy with God ought to bring into reality a fulfilling life that has the potentiality of convincing unbeliving hearts to accept the truth of the resurrection of Christ.
Sex outside the bond of marriage has the ability to destroy the bodies of the participants. (1Corinthians 6:15-19)
In this case, your body which is God's temple is desecrated and thus cannot render reasonable service unto Him(God).
(Romans 12:1, 1Corinthians 6:20)
The conscience of man is built in a form that at some point when things go wrong, it won't allow him seek help due to guilt and it'll contribute greatly to allowing the flesh war and have victory over his spirit.
The flesh uses this strategy to cause men to have the consciousness of their past to always live with them.
This is the state of the person who sins against himself by indulging in fornication.
As spiritually inclined individuals, our emphasis on reproduction should be on how unsaved souls can be converted into the brotherhood of Christ.
How eternity can be dispensed to every one soul that breathes should be our focus and primary assignment.
Sex inside marriage(not adultery) is divinely, and a fulfilment of part of God's mandate to man on reproduction.
If you have been living in fornication, flee!
If you haven't shared the word of God to those unsaved before, start now!
Let's make spiritual reproduction effective just as sexual reproduction is.
However, as singles, REMAIN SEXUALLY PURE for it is great gain to our bodies.
May God's sufficient grace always be with us to help us keep our ordination.
