TEXT: Nehemiah
13:23-31
TOPIC: BEWARE
OF STRANGE WOMEN
Marriage is a blessed
union. However, some are going through hard times in their marriages not
because things are hard but because they married ‘strange women’.
Strange women in this
context refers to marrying a pagan woman or being yoked with an unbeliever,
someone who does not know or has not received Christ as their personal Lord and
Saviour.
A ‘strange woman or
person’ can be someone who is not your legitimate wife or husband. Someone men
have fallen victim of these strange women and their marriages have crashed or
are at the point of crashing.
Israel broke God’s
covenant, contrary to their previous promise not to allow their
daughters/children to marry pagans who provoked Nehemiah on his return (vs.
25.)
He did not fail to
confront the people; unlike what we do today by keeping quiet in the face of
evil.
QUESTION: Are
you married to a strange woman?
PRAYER: Dear Lord, help me to beware of the dangers
of marrying foreign women. Help me to resist their enticement and guide my
children not to marry foreign women, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
