Ask the average Christian single lady, “What type of man do you desire?” and she will most probably reply, “A Boaz” or “I am praying for my Boaz.”
That’s very good, but who you need might not be a Boaz.
You might need an Othniel…
…spreading the fragrance of His knowledge…

Sisters, you are powerful.
And I am not saying it in that bra-burning, fist-clenched, arm-raised, wild-haired, hardened-feminist kind of way.
No. I’m saying it with much fear and trembling.
Sisters, you are powerful.
(6)A Good Man Has Self-Control
Except you close your eyes and imagine certain stories in the Bible, you will not fully appreciate the situation. Let’s imagine this scenario:
Joseph and Mary were betrothed to each other, right? Therefore, they would have been growing in their familiarity and fondness towards each other. Joseph – like any normal, red-blooded male – would have been fantasizing about the wedding night.
I love the Bible for two reasons:
(1) It Is Very Relevant
More and more people are realizing that – from money to marriage to business to sex to raising children to the workplace – the Bible really gives solid advice that is very relevant in our present world.
(2) It Is Very Real
Humans have a tendency to idolize or demonize people – painting those they love as complete saints or angels, and blackening those they dislike as total devils.

Now, the rib was straightened and stretched, but it was too thin. Too narrow – compared to the man. So, what did God do next?
(3) He EXPANDED her…
I’m glad this series has come to an end.
Even though I knew God wanted me to write on it, it has been quite draining and exhausting. At one point, as I was praying and writing the post on How To Become And Stay Sexually Pure (1), I inexplicably burst into tears because I just had a sudden overpowering feeling that someone desperately needed it at that time.

(4)GUARD YOUR GATES – AND YOUR ENVIRONMENT
A while ago on social media, someone shared a rather lengthy revelation she had. I will give a brief summary:
In it, she saw a woman reading a book, and from the book rose up a form of spiritual dust that went into her eyes and left a film on them. Immediately, she became spiritually blind – and fell in love with the deception she was reading. Another was reading a book, and two snakes came out of the book and entered the reader’s eyes…
I was asking the Lord what to write on this topic, and He asked, “How did YOU get to where you are are?” (Paraphrase)
So, here goes.
(1)INVITE JESUS INTO YOUR ‘DIRTY’ ROOM…
So, Jesus knocks on the door of your sexual life and asks, “Can I come in?”
And we say, “Yes, Lord…just one moment.”
Then we switch off the X-rated movie on our television sets – or change it to CBN.
We put off that raunchy music – or change it to praise and worship…
