Strangeness (By Dag Heward-Mills)
And why wilt thou... be ravished with a strange woman?
To keep thee from the evil woman... the ...strange woman.
That they may keep thee from the strange woman...
-Prov. 5:20, 6:24, 7:5.
Although our topic is ‘The Strange Woman’, it also recognises that a man can be ‘strange’. I am only using the female gender because the story in Proverbs 7, depicts a woman who is strange.
This is a very important topic, because it is necessary for every Christian to go to heaven with the testimony that he or she was never involved in fornication.
A condition which predisposes to fornication and adultery is ‘strangeness’.
Strange people are those whose behaviour in a certain sense sows the seeds of fornication in others.
An innocent brother or sister, or even a man of God who has otherwise lived a pure life, can easily fall prey to these strange people because they are not only in the world, but they also abound in the church, even the charismatic church.
The Bible calls her “the strange woman”. Some people call her the prostitute, but I prefer to call her the strange woman.
A lot of people have had sex, even though they never planned to do it.
Some even hate the other person for making them do it.
There are some men who hate certain women, because when they looked back after the experience, they realised that there had been a master plan to get them!
There are some ladies who lost their virginity when perhaps, they were too young to even know what was happening to them!
Later on after the sex act, they realized that somebody had taken advantage of them and slept with them! There are even some young girls who became pregnant without knowing what happened.
Some of these people’s predicament was caused by those the Bible calls “strange” people.
As Christians we do not fight against flesh and blood, but the Bible has described these strange people in graphic detail. God wants us to know who they are, and to recognise this attitude in ourselves if perchance, we have any of this “strange” behaviour.
Fornication is not an easy sin to deal with. Often those who get involved in fornication have a hard time overcoming it psychologically.
Sometimes they are unable to ever overcome it. This therefore makes it a favourite area of attack by the devil.
Fornication is not only present in the world, but also in the Charismatic churches. A man of God said, “Out of a church of 500 people there are at least 20 ladies who are ready and willing to immediately go to bed with their pastor if he says so.”
Recently, in a Charismatic church in Accra, a visiting preacher made an altar call: he asked for ladies who had come to the church with the intention of enticing and tempting the head pastor to come up stage.
The response was amazing! Many ladies came and were prayed for. All these were strange women, hunting for the precious life of the pastor.”
