Now even Christians are encouraging and recommending everyone to go and watch Polygamist.
I won't lie—I tried to watch it after seeing so many people talking about it on TikTok and other social media platforms. I struggled to move past two minutes, and the reason was simple: the sexual scenes.
One thing many believers fail to understand is that you cannot be praying against lust, pornography, masturbation, and sexual addiction while feeding your mind with content that awakens the very desires you are asking God to help you overcome.
Some people are wondering why they keep falling into temptation. The answer is simple: what you entertain eventually influences you.
If you are trying to stop masturbating and watching pornography, but your daily entertainment is filled with sexual scenes, nudity, adultery, and immorality, your battle will become much harder.
As Christians, we must learn to guard our hearts and our eyes.
The Bible says:
"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."
What enters your eyes eventually enters your mind, and what enters your mind eventually affects your actions.
What surprises me is seeing some Christian women judging all men based on a movie.
A movie is not reality.
Not every man is a polygamist.
Not every husband is a cheat.
Not every marriage is destined to fail.
Not every man is secretly living a double life.
As the world is talking about Polygamist, can we also talk about Monogamist?
Can we talk about the thousands of faithful husbands who wake up every morning and choose their wives?
Can we talk about men who have opportunities to cheat but refuse because they honor God and respect their marriage vows?
Can we talk about men who stay committed through financial struggles, sickness, misunderstandings, and difficult seasons?
Can we talk about men who are raising their children, providing for their families, and remaining faithful when nobody is applauding them?
Because they exist.
It is possible for a man to be married to one woman.
It is possible for a man not to commit adultery.
It is possible for a man to reject a woman who is trying to seduce him.
It is possible for a man to remain loyal even when temptation is available.
It is possible for a man to honor his vows until death.
The problem with our generation is that movies, social media, and celebrity culture have become our teachers.
People are forming opinions about marriage from Netflix instead of Scripture.
People are learning relationships from movies instead of God's Word.
People are allowing entertainment to define what they believe about men, women, marriage, and family.
As believers, our standard is not movies.
Our standard is not TikTok.
Our standard is not trends.
Our standard is not celebrity opinions.
Our standard is the Word of God.
The Bible is our blueprint for marriage.
The Bible teaches faithfulness.
The Bible teaches commitment.
The Bible teaches self-control.
The Bible teaches covenant.
The Bible teaches that marriage is honorable and should be protected.
Before I watch any movie, I ask myself one question:
"What is the end result of this?"
Will it build my faith?
Will it strengthen my values?
Will it bring me closer to God?
Will it help me become a better husband, wife, father, mother, or believer?
Not everything that is popular is profitable.
Not everything that is trending is beneficial.
And not everything that everyone is watching should be watched by a child of God.
Let's be careful what we consume.
Let's stop allowing movies to become our theology.
Let's stop judging an entire gender because of a script written for entertainment.
And let's remember that while the world may celebrate confusion, God's design for marriage has not changed.
The Bible remains our standard.

Spiritual warfare 101 - No matter how overwhelmed you “feel” inside, never show the devil. You see, the devil is NOT Omniscient, so he does not know all things. The things he knows about us are things said and spoken of us. Or the things we let out from our mouths ourselves or by our reactions and actions. So while you may be overwhelmed in your soul, the way he gets to know is from your reaction. And because he is a wicked and oppressive entity, when he knows where it hurts, he robs it in the more.
But responding in praise confounds him. This is exactly the rationale behind the idea that praise confuses the enemy. Because he can’t understand why his onslaught is not causing you to give up and give in.
So beloved saints of God, regardless how you feel right now, find a way to release your praise !
“14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.”
Psalm 71:14.
You are BLESSED 🙂
Make God your top priority this year. Put His Kingdom first. Look for His presence, not just what He can give you. He has promised that when you do this, everything else you need will be added to you.
✝️ Pastor Seye Benjamin Agbo
A good time to make this spread and trend again…….
Let’s go !
Jesus just has to be who He says He is. No one gives this joy that He gives.
We celebrate our king, JESUS !
Hear this pastor’s reply after lady asked whether it is permissible to use s*x t0ys in a long distance relationship to avoid cheating on one’s partner.
Pastor Dolapo Lawal’s message is very true. It shows that if you ask God for something but don’t use it the way you should, He can take it away from you and give it to someone else who will use it well.
