Why GOD wants You Celibate until you get married?

1. Maintain Purity.
2. Sex is more than a physical activity, Sex has deep spiritual implications. 1 Corinthians 6:16
3. To cultivate and master the Attitude of Patience. Hebrews 6:10-12 NKJV
4. Get enough time to Know Him and Discover you are in Him and what He sent you to accomplish. Philippians 3:7-8 GNT

Why Stay Celibate? (Your Motivation)

1. To Honor GOD’s Word.
2. Get to deepen your Devotion with Jesus Christ.
3. Focus on the main priorities by avoiding unnecessary distractions from premarital sexual relationships.

Wrong Attitude and Motivations for Staying Celibate:

1. Thinking being celibate will enable you have the Wife, Husband, Children and Hime of your dreams.
2. Thinking in being celibate you’re doing GOD a favor.
3. Thinking Celibacy in itself is the goal. (Analogy of going without Food with The Word and Prayer to mean Fasting)
4. Wanting to be Celibate just to prove we are more Righteous than others.

Maximizing Your Celibacy:

1. Count the Cost. Luke 14:26-33 NLT
2. Make a firm and informed Decision despite the Cost. 
3. Guard your Mind. Proverbs 4:23 NKJV, Proverbs 4:23 GNT
4. Avoid Unnecessary Attention. (Be decent and elegant in your dressing)
5. Mind your Association. 1 Corinthians 15:33 TPT
6. Be Accountable: Mentor, Parents, etc.
7. Let your Stand be Known and be Known for your Stand.
8. Set healthy boundaries (areas of personal weakness). Hebrews 12:1 NKJV
9. Mind your Business. 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 NLT

Conclusion

Focus on your Devotion to Jesus Christ; Becoming the Person He desires you to Become and actively participating in His Assignment and not just leaving a “sexless life”

--------------------------

My Prayer is that you have a genuine encounter with the Person of The Word of GOD to the end that you Become the exact expression of Jesus Christ.
