#For_Genuine_Sexual_Satisfaction
#Drink_Water_From_Your_Own_Cistern
#Kataa_Mpango_wa_Kando

Yesterday, a friend send me a text, "What can make a married man stop loving his wife and seek comfort in another woman?" Do not have a justified answer to this question, however, I have this to say to those who are cheating on their spouses and/or are probably tempted to start.

Coming to think of it, why, what, how on earth does a honorable husband cheat on his wife? Dear woman, why do you accept to have sex with a man you know has a wife and even children? Sometimes I have heard people calling in FM station to justify why they cheat but listen, "Marriage should be honored by ALL, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."

Proverbs 5 gives a stern warning against adultery. A father seeks to convince his son that genuine sexual satisfaction comes only within the context of marriage. He urges his son to intoxicate himself with the sexual satisfaction that marriage has to offer (v. 15). As you read Proverbs ch. 5, you are fascinated the way this father describes the son's wife: She is a cistern (tank/well/reservoir); a bountiful and infinite source of sexual pleasure (v.15-17). She is described as a running and an overflowing fountain with potency to satisfy her hubby. This wise father even pronounces a blessing on her (v. 18-19a).

Proverbs 5:15 "Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. 16. Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets? 17. Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you.
18. Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19. As a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love. 20. For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress and embrace the bosom of a foreigner?"

The cistern represents the son's wife, while the water symbolizes the sexual satisfaction she is capable of providing.The wife is more than capable of quenching the young man's thirst, making it unnecessary to seek water from any other source.

Now, people who cheat on their spouses think that they'll never be caught but what they don't know is that their ways are the full view of the LORD, and He examines all their paths. They are ensnared by their evil deeds, the cords of the sins hold them fast and for their folly and lack of discipline they will die, v. 21-23.

Ni hayo tu kwa sasa.
