The Sexual Drives of a Godly Lady

The subject of “sexual drive” is largely under-taught in the Church of Christ in Africa. The reluctance to teach and expose certain mysteries in the Bible regarding sex has become the reason why many godly single ladies are prey to their own sexual drives.

To begin, sexual drive simply means the ability to feel attracted to the opposite sex or to get stirred sexually by the opposite sex. The average christian lady must have dated or met a guy who provokes a sexual reaction from her or makes her hormones giddy. This is not a sin, because God placed it there for the act of copulation and procreation.

Sexual drive is a natural reaction placed by God in human to engage in the act of sexual intercourse. This leads us to the question: Is Sexual drive a blessing or a curse?

The answer to this question is aptly supplied in Genesis 29:10-11. According to scriptures, when Jacob saw Rachel daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his uncle, Jacob went near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the flock of his uncle Laban.Then Jacob kissed Rachel and he wept aloud. This scripture points out how sexual drive allows us to feel attraction for the opposite sex and it also plays a role in a person finding their future partner. This means, sexual drive isn't a curse but a blessing. However, it can be a curse, when christian ladies become ignorant of how to tame their canal desires. This was the similar case with the daughters of Lot at Zoar and it became a curse, because they laid with their father.

Another interesting scenario in the Bible that shows how uncontrolled sexual drive can become a curse, happened in the city Sodom and Gommorah. The people gave themselves over to sexual immorality and carnality. This angered God and He responded by destroying the people.


Sadly, many godly ladies have falleninto the hands of carnal men who don't have the fear of God, hence, they break their godly principles and give in their bodies to fornication, sexual immorality and lewdness which God frowns upon and promises destruction of anyone that defies his temple (our body).

1 Corinthians 3:17;

"If anyone does hurt to God's temple or corrupts it [with false doctrines] or destroys it, God will do hurt to him and bring him to the corruption of death and destroy him. For the temple of God is holy (sacred to Him) and that [temple] you [the believing church and its individual believers] are."


  The bible in 1corinthians 6:13b warns that the body is not meant for sexual immorality but for God.


Christian women and young ladies should learn to reference God with their body and tame their sexual urge. It is honourable to burn the passion on the marriage bed than to give your virtues to swine.

 Proverbs 31, refers to a woman who hides her virtues to be worth more than rubies and commends a woman that fears the Lord (Proverbs 31:29).


 The case of Zoar, a lesson to learn from.


After the Lord had spared lots and his two daughters because of his love for Abraham, lot and his daughters dwelt in ZOAR. Because their minds have seen the sexual immortality that the people of Sodom committed, it became corrupted.

The daughters conspired to drunk their father with wine and lay with him because they couldn't find any man with which to burn the passion/sexual urge. As a case of family incest, the daughters of Lot are examples of ladies who couldn't tame their sexual urge. This is the danger of allowing the gateway( heart) to your soul witness immortality and get corrupted with evil.

 1corinthians 6:15;

"Do you not see and know that your bodies are members (bodily parts) of Christ (the Messiah)? Am I therefore to take the parts of Christ and make [them] parts of a prostitute? Never! Never!" (Amp)

Paul was making a comparison here and he was specific in his choice of word when he used "harlot "(referring to a female).

As a godly lady, you can exercise self control over your fantasies and keep a rein on your feelings so you do not cause God's children to stumble and fall into sin.

I saw a quote by a lady called Precious Osikha where she said “Boys are after girls who will lavish their money and give them sexual satisfaction while men are after women with vision and clarity”

"How can Sexual drive be controlled?"
