Every Woman Belongs To A Man|DON’T TOUCH HER

No man should ever touch a woman without the permission of her father if she is single or her husband if she is married.

“Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.”

(1 Corinthians 7:1 NKJV)

Just because a person sees a house, car or land they like doesn’t give them the right to own it. To have what’s not yours, title deeds are exchanged legally in the presence of witnesses.

The Bible says,

“But there is one thing I want you to know: The head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.”

(1 Corinthians 11:3)

The man is the head of the woman – either as a father or husband. He provides physical and spiritual cover. He must protect and provide for all her needs. Failure to do so exposes her to temptations from within, exploitation by wicked men and deception of Satan.

Dear woman, do you have such a strong and godly man who covers you? He doesn’t have to be a biological father or husband, but one who understands his responsibility as a father figure in your life. If you don’t have one, you’re like a street child who has no one to look after them. Consider getting one!

Did you know that in the Old Testament, a father could nullify or cancel a vow of his daughter and a husband could do the same regarding his wife’s vow? God considers man responsible for his daughter and his wife. (Numbers 30:1-16)

Therefore, a man who uses and abuses – through fornication, adultery, prostitution, porn, violence – another man’s daughter or wife is a thief, cheat and coward. Not only does he sin against God, but also wrongs another man.

No man should ever give an excuse that the woman seduced him or made him do anything. He should stand in his authority as the head to love, guide and teach the woman under his care and exercise self-control when dealing with all women.

“…and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters.”

(1 Timothy 5:2)

When King David committed adultery with Bathsheba, he was the one responsible first, not her. When Eve ate the forbidden fruit, nothing happened, but the moment Adam ate the fruit, sin entered the world.

Dear man, please respect all women as you’d love your daughter or wife to be respected.

Don’t steal what doesn’t belong to you. Don’t touch what’s not yours.

If you’re a single man, rather than violate someone’s daughter, ask her father for her hand in marriage.

If you’re a married man, focus on loving your wife rather than violating another man’s daughter or wife.

“¹⁵ Drink water from your own well—
share your love only with your wife.
¹⁶ Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,
having sex with just anyone?
¹⁷ You should reserve it for yourselves.
Never share it with strangers.

¹⁸ Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you.
Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
¹⁹ She is a loving deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts satisfy you always.
May you always be captivated by her love.
²⁰ Why be captivated, my son, by an immoral woman,
or fondle the breasts of a promiscuous woman?

(Proverbs 5:15-20)

It takes a man who submits to Christ as his head, who has experienced God’s love and who yields to the Holy Spirit to truly love and treat every woman with absolute purity.

Apostle Paul reminds us;

^“3 God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin.

⁴ Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor—

⁵ not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways.

⁶ Never harm or cheat a fellow believer in this matter by violating his wife, for the Lord avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned you before.

⁷ God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives.

⁸ Therefore, anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching but is rejecting God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.”

(1 Thessalonians 4:3-8)
