What type of woman would do such? What would be her excuse for that kind of behaviour? How can she stop this behaviour?
The woman, who tried to do this was Potiphar's Wife. I am very sure Potiphar's wife must be very beautiful, elegant and classy, as of a fact, she must also be rich and comfortable because of husband's position; living in a big house, many servants and maids, a rich and good husband, available resource, cars, shopping in any currency, expensive clothes, highly
connected to Pharaoh himself, must have had several
royal banquets with the President and much more.
The question is what more could a woman ask for? Why would she want to sleep with Joseph at all cost? (Genesis 39:6-20).
1. Lack of Godly fear or reverence to God. Joseph said ' how can I do this great wickedness and sin against God'. Not everyone know it is great wickedness commit adultery and fornication.
So in all we do, God must be put first and if it doesn't glorify God then flee.
2. Oliver Twist, she wasn't content with all that she had, she wanted MORE. Human want will never be satisfied.
We need to learn to be satisfied and happy with the little or much we have because when we are not, we
can sin greatly against God and man.
3. She had no respect and commitment to her husband, maybe he wasn't always at home and she gets bored all the time but it doesn't mean she should think of cheating on him with a Househelp.
Not only men sleep with their house helps, women also do, so in all these, a woman should give her husband utmost due respect, and not dishonour him before others, likewise men too. The matrimonial bed is most honorable with bed un defied.(Hebrew 13:4)
4. Lack of self worth make people hurt themselves by committing adultery or fornication.
You are your partner and your partner is yours, if u hurt your spouse then u hurt yourself. It is that simple to understand. (Eph 5:28).
Live faithfully not to
soil your hands with blood that cannot be washed off.
