THE GREATEST WILDFIRE OF OUR GENERATION
I have heard about great wildfires that have occurred in our generation, the damages it brings to lives and property are horrible, and putting off this fire at times is virtually impossible, no body enjoys the destruction this fire brings. Nevertheless there is a new wildfire burning throughout the world and causing The greatest damages mankind will ever know yet with have embraced it with both hands and given it a room in our homes. That wildfire is SEXUAL IMMORALITY
Never a time in the centuries has the world been as immoral and pervert as it is now. I personally believe that our generation has officially overtaken Sodom and Gomorrah with the level of sexual immorality we practice.

Sexual immorality defined means ‘a surrendering of sexual purity” and it is primarily used o describe premarital sexual relations. This is the selling off of sexual purity and involves any type of sexual expression outside the boundaries of a biblically defined marriage relationship (Matthew 19:4-5)
Society has embraced the concept of political correctness. It allows all people to live their lives however they choose as long as “it doesn’t hurt anyone else.” This attitude has spawned an era of tolerance that, before our time, was unknown. Everyone and everything is now tolerated—or is it?
In today’s world, it is common to lose one’s virginity by age 16. As a matter of fact in some communities it will be considered a miracle to actually see a young boy or girl above the age of 16 with his/her virginity still intact. I am sure you will agree with me that 16 is a very modest age to consider even, I have seen and heard of children of ages 10 who are already involved in sexual activities. Most of this young people we meet on the street are either involved in sex already, pornography, masturbation, homosexuality ….. etc
Children are supposed to be childlike—innocent—throughout childhood! Sexuality should never even enter their thinking. Yet they are constantly bombarded with—force-fed—images and products that push them to be sexy.

One market that seems to have no concept of childhood is that of fashion. It seems that, if you want sex to sell, you must start with the very young,
And the Internet has also had a hand in this. An American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers survey recently showed that in the last 12 months, Internet-related issues caused 62% of all divorce cases. From meeting partners for affairs, to delving into perversions once suppressed or addiction to pornography, families are being destroyed by the immoral fiber that has become pervasive in our society.
The Internet is the ultimate form of full-information access. But how the Internet is used, and how sex has dominated this medium, will shock you.
And in the same way, children are now exposed—often without their parents’ knowledge—to predators of every kind.
The media has created an unrealistic image. If you are a girl, that image is scantily-clad runway models and movie stars with bodies almost impossible to achieve. They all try to look “sexy” because sex sells. Young girls see such images and, partly because they lack role models at home, aspire to be like them.
Sex is popular. Many television shows represent sex as fun and exciting without any repercussions.
The fashion industry also responds and drives these desires. Little girls are now able to purchase clothing that many adults would avoid. One major fashion chain sold child-sized thong underwear with sexually suggestive phrases on them. Should a ten-year-old have underwear with phrases such as “eye candy,” “kiss me” or “wink wink” on the front?
You will agree with me that most marriages even of people we look up to have an unfaithful partner. Children learn by example. What example is being set? Children who are abused tend to become abusers. By extension, might children of openly promiscuous parents take on these qualities as well?
It was very different even a few generations ago. Couples would date and get to know each other. Sexual relations would not have been an option until marriage. The idea of living together would have been completely foreign.

Today, we see a complete reversal of this. Often, couples live together for years, appearing as married without making the firm commitment of marriage. Often, marriage comes because of either a surprise pregnancy or a pressure inside the relationship. This creates the commitment for all the wrong reasons.
It should come as no surprise, since society places so much “value” on sex. Before marriage, the average person has had up to five sexual partners. Sex is no longer a mysterious and exciting aspect of marriage. What should be one of the most powerful expressions of love has been reduced to something as “special” as sharing a bank account or buying a car. Therefore, it is no surprise that something so under-valued is so easily marred.
No wonder single motherhood has become so common that young girls are no longer ashamed of it, I hear young girls at times make statements like “ I feel like having a baby” even though she is unmarried, what an abomination of gigantic propotion, even our African culture irrespective of Christianity considers that an abomination.
This framework and its examples have created what has been called the most sexually active generation of children the world has ever seen.
I happen to leave around a university community and at times when I am out at night on the streets, I can’t help but to agree with the preacher who said “if God does not punish this generation, he will apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah”. Young boys and girls no longer have any consideration for the concept of decency, it appears the dresses we were on our bodies this days bring us so much discomfort, it is now common to see girls dressed with pieces and patches on their bodies in the name of fashion others take beautifully made dresses and make holes on it or cut out patches before it can be considered wearable, on all this Just because we want to look Sexy.
It really hurts me when I see things like this because I have a knowledge of the word of God and the community I come from, growing up as a child I knew only prostitute had to bother looking sexy because of the needed to attract their customers. So why do we say we are not prostitute yet bother so much on looking sexy.
Our nation is being devastated by the wildfires of immorality today. Not just houses are being devastated, but homes are being devastated. Families are being devastated. And unless we take precautions, we could be the next victims of the fires of lust, passion and immorality.
Some people think, I can contain this. I can handle this. This is no problem. But suddenly the burning embers of lust are blowing over their lives, they’ve lost all control, and they wonder what happened. What happened was they took fire into their laps – or hearts or lives – and were among the many who thought they could handle it. The Bible asks the question, “Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?” (Proverbs 6:27 NIV). The answer, of course, is no.

The freedoms promised by the sexual revolution have instead given way to ever increasing slavery and captivity to sin. The attempt to cast off moral restraint has only opened wide the devil’s destructive, deadly toolbox. “For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved” (2 Peter 2:19).
Today, what our society seems to value most is the freedom to do whatever we want, whatever makes us feel good. Anyone who would try to stop us from doing what we want—even when what we want is destructive to ourselves and to others—is mocked and vilified.
The Scripture is clear: “But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you. … For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous … has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God” (Ephesians 5:3, 5).
But God’s laws and commands are given for our good. Sexuality is a gift from God to be used within His wise restraints. Like the levees that hold back mighty rivers from destructive floods, God’s Word and ways are designed to keep our thoughts, passions and desires in godly bounds. They are for our good, not our harm.
“The body is not meant for sexual immorality,” wrote the Apostle Paul to the Corinthian church, “but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body’” (1 Corinthians 6:13). Our bodies, which one day will be redeemed, glorified bodies, are made by God for God. To flaunt His design is, in essence, to commit idolatry by prizing and delighting in what God hates.
We know that as the end draws near, this world will be characterized by escalating violence and rampant sexual immorality. In Revelation 17 and 18, Babylon represents the “great prostitute” of the earth. It stands for the unbridled pursuit of sensual pleasures. The earth, about to be judged by the King of kings and Lord of lords, has become completely intoxicated by wanton pleasures. “For all the nations have drunk … of her [Babylon’s] sexual immorality” (Revelation 18:3).

The only answer I know for any society in any era is the strong word of the Lord to the church in Thyatira who, though faithful in some ways, apparently tolerated sexual permissiveness that spread through the church: “I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality” (Revelation 2:21).
There is still time to repent. That is why Jesus is delaying His return, “not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
