THE DILEMMA OF A HUSBAND IN A SOCIETY UNDER THE DOCTRINE OF THE SHOULD BE MONOGAMY FOR ALL MEN

Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee .

Proverbs 5:17

The husband was a godly man like Elkanah tried his best to do justice for his household. But his wife who was under the spell of Jezebel (Revelation 2:20) made it hard for him. The husband had limited resources and tried his best to maintain a decent living for his nuclear family and himself. He tried to balance his budget while also gave himself some “pleasures”. But his wife now old and dried could barely quench his thirst and the BIG BIG LIE-the false sexual taboo of his whole community put a pressure to him to conform to their “darkened” way of life. He was a” poor boy” indeed…and as he listened to sounds in the air his tears fell…

Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there

Lie la lie ..

And now he had also swallowed part of the lie…he had frequented the women for sale risking his health and reputation. But what could he do? He knew that it was never a sin against God if he added a wife…but his wife and all those around him thought of such things like an abnormal acts!

He saw many of his fellowmen in the same dilemma as he was. He saw them instead of spending their time on their wife and children instead spend their time drinking in the Beer Houses looking for amorous waitress and females GRO’s (Guest Relation Officer) for a one night stand or even an extra affair.

He saw his male office mates addicted to porno sites… He saw the Jezebels alluring them….like pictures of delicious foods made to temped the men but when a man will eat his hand were slap and told he was a bad boy!

He remembered the itinerant preacher who could bring tears to the eyes of his listeners when he preached the Gospel-but the preacher too fell prey to the snare of the devil and his successful ministry destroyed by his quenching of his thirst with the whores.

All of these afflicted and whirled around the mind of the man…he wanted to make things right but he was alone…alone in a society whose Laws on Marriage and family had been changed by the Antichrist to make the husband weary…

And the Lord pitied the man…and the Lord gave him another woman to love him and comfort him when he was blue…but the expense involve because the 2nd wife could not openly live with him and his family burdened him…he wanted to bring this new fountain home…but his wife he knew would resent such a move. Even the government patterned after the image of the Beast would surely make war against him…he weigh his options…and he prayed and prayed…asking for His heavenly Father to make him overcome these all! With the Sword of God and the shield of Faith..with the Helmet of Salvation and the belt and the rest of the accessories, the man prepared for war!THIS MEANS WAR the man said!
