Your reason for prostitution could be that you were raped or gang-raped as a kid. No? Maybe you were raped years back by an uncle, a trusted friend, relative or even your father.
Perhaps your experience was the result of parental neglect or abandonment. Could also be that you have been forced by parents, guardian or some other authority to marry someone you never loved or wanted to marry. You are now trying to get back at parents or society for forcing you into such enslavement.
Because of your horrible experience, having sex is no longer a sacred thing to you. To you, your body and life is valueless and of no dignity. You are suffering from emotional baggage.
Perhaps, as a lady, you are sleeping with someone else, just to get at a betrayer or heart breaker. Your case could also be that you are just a nymphomania (hardly sexually satisfied).
The first step out of your emotional baggage is to increase the size of God in your heart. You are in your condition because you have made God so small in your heart. Because of this, you are not afraid of him. You see God as a fellow man, or even a mere imagination.
The Bible says that the earth is God?s footstool (Isaiah 66:1). What does this mean? It means that Nigeria, Japan, America, and all other parts of the world put together, is God?s one leg. Imagine your size before him.
?The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom? (Proverbs?1:17).
You need to understand that God can effortlessly bury your dirty past and make you a new person-as new as an angel.
?Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new? (2nd Corinthians?5:17).
This is the truth which the devil will not want you to see. He keeps reminding you that you are dirty.
Your yesterday is gone. Today is what matters to God now. If you refuse to surrender your life for his renewal right now, this message could stand against you on the judgement day.
?I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service (Romans 12:1).
Emotional baggage is too small a problem for God. He knows your heart more than you know yourself. Develop a passionate hatred for the devil right now and you will be free from his bondage. From today, ask, ?What does God say about me? This is all that matters.
?But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people that ye should shew forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light? (1st Peter 2:9).
?For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thought of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end? (Jeremiah 29:11).
God created you in his own image and after his likeness. You are like God (Genesis?1:26). You are not the hopeless, helpless, dirty, irredeemable prostitute that the devil is calling you. Reject his names and accept God?s names. All will be well.
Surrender your life to Jesus right now. Say this prayer from your heart.
?Lord Jesus! I come to you as I am. Please, forgive me my sins. Have mercy on me. Write my name in the book of life. Take over my life from today. Thank you Jesus for coming into my life in Jesus name. Amen.
MEMORY VERSE: ?Therefore, if any man (or woman) be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold all things are become new? (2nd Corinthians?5:17)
