Don’t consider sex as unholy …Couples advised
The National Women’s Leader of the Full Gospel Church International, Mrs Gifty Debrah, has asked Christians, especially married couples not to consider sex as an unholy, or shameful act.
According to her, sex was a sacred gift from God designed for pleasure, intimacy and bonding within the marital covenant.
Mrs Debrah made the assertion when she addressed this year’s Annual Women’s Retreat of the Full Gospel Church International (FGCI) (Virtuous Ladies) at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) at Gomoa Fetteh in the Central Region last week.
The four-day retreat themed: ‘Women in Christ-Vital for Church Growth,’ was attended by Virtuous Ladies across the country.
Mrs Debrah explained that although many people were with the perception that sex was dirty, unholy or shameful, but it was a gift from God, designed for, intimacy which bonds married couples together.
She, therefore, urged Christians, especially married couples to ignore such societal opinions about sex, citing I Corinthians 7:2-4 to buttress her statement.
“Ignorance and societal misconceptions have left many believers with distorted views of sex, but the bible has provided clear guidance as holy and a powerful tool that strengthens marital unity,” she unerlined.
Again, Mrs Debrah spoke about the myths, physiological differences, and the importance of mutual understanding, foreplay and emotional connection in building a healthy marital relationship, and stronger families which in turn reflect positively in church growth.
The guest speaker, who is an Associate Pastor of Cedar Mountain Chapel of the Assemblies of God Church, Rev. Mawuli Benson, taught the women the mercy of God and said it was the greatest protection which extend to generations for the children of God.
He advised the women to always be Christ centred in order to reach out to others.
The President of the Full Gospel Church International (FGCI), Bishop Godwin Dela Fiagome, stated that the battles of believers were usually won by prayers, adding that maturity in Christ secures victory.
He, therefore, stressed the need for Christians to pursue spiritual growth.
Other speakers included, Mrs Cynthia Fiagome, Rev. Dr Fred Arhin,
Rev. James Debrah, Prophet Prince Elisha Osei and Rev. Henrietta Agorhome.
