Beware of objects of sin in the home! I call it Parental Seduction. It comprises a whole lot of things, actions and attitudes that predispose a child to different vices of immortality in the home. They include, but not limited to, nude pictures, adult magazines and videos, sexual acts between parents in the presence or neighbourhood of children, to mention just a few.
These elements, to a large extent, affect the way children see the opposite sex in curiosity to know more and "see more". It may further degenerate into addiction such as masturbation, nymphomania, underage and teenage sex as they grow up . Apart from those elements mentioned above, most times, parents, especially mothers often expose part or all of their nakedness in the presence of their children. This could make the children crave for the nakedness of other ladies or women outside. The common saying, "What I hear I may forget, but what I see I can never forget", cannot be far from reality.
Let us ponder on the following passages of the scriptures :
i. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart- Matthew5:27-28.
ii. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death- James1:15.
Continual exposure of your body to your son, as a mother, builds a sensual (sexual) image on his mind. This may eventually degenerate to sexual sins. Fathers, try also to be modest in the presence of your daughters, as they grow up; you may never know what reflexes this translates to their moral values.
As parents, I pray we would not be a stone of stumbling to our children; the grace and wisdom to lead and guide them aright, may the Lord bestow on us as parents, in Jesus' mighty name.
Remember, with Christ on our side, victory is sure!
Have a pleasant time in His presence.
