THE SIN OF PROFANITY

Exodus 20:7- "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guilty that taketh his name in vain"

Bible Readings: Matthew 12:31, 36-37


Profanity is to speak an offensive word or language. It could be a curse, dirty word, swearing, vulgar or obscene language. When you treat with great disrespect a holy thing, place or object, it is profanity. Those who profane the name of God are breaking the third commandment (Exodus 20:7). God is holy and sovereign. He deserves total respect from you His creature. The sin of profanity is called blasphemy. Jesus Christ warned against blasphemy (Matthew 12: 13, 36). Therefore, watch what you say at all time. By your word you shall be justified and by your word you shall be condemned (Matthew 12:37).


The tongue with which you blaspheme is given to you by God. He can decide to squeeze this unruly member out of your mouth. Use your tongue to glorify God not for profanity. Do not use your tongue to curse or swear. Hell is waiting for those who use their tongue to desecrate the name of God. Each time I see an unbelieving comedian misuse the name of God in order to humour or entertain fans or spectators at an evening party or on television, etc, my spirit boils in anger. I equally pity those people because it seems that pursuit of material things of the world has made them myopic and ignorant of what they say. Those who know God honour His name; they weigh each letter of the word before pronouncing the name God or Yahweh.

Do not call on the name of God without a significant or meaningful reason. The bible teaches that when we call the name of God in the days of trouble He shall answer (Psalms 50:15; 91:15). When we play on the name of God how shall He answer? Will He not think that we are joking with His name?. The Lord will hold you guilty for calling His name in vain (Exodus 20:7). Respect the name that is above all names (Philippians 2:9-10)

Is Sex Enough To Keep A Man?                            Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji According to Nollywood actress, #JenevieveNnaji, sex is never the ultimate or main thing when a lady wants to keep her man all to herself. This she shared in her facebook page "Jenevieve Nnaji Scream". The beautiful single mother of one believes that keeping a man is beyond giving him good sex. She pointed out that men love ladies that are intelligent and respectful; ladies with visions or ideas, as sex is cheap. She advised ladies to build themselves beyond sex and make-ups to match the needs of men(respectful and intellectually or ideologically sound companions); men need help-mates not make-up artistes. 😂  See her post: "It's possible for any man to ask for sex in a relationship, but is left for you as a lady to know that sex, can't keep him..(Sex isn't enough).
