VIRGINITY IS NOT ENOUGH The contestants in the first beauty pageant in the book of Esther were VIRGINS, They were BEAUTIFUL, they were YOUNG, yet they had to go through the test of character to determine who should be the queen. You don’t get the best marriage or partner by just being a young beautiful virgin, you need inner character and favour. The ten virgins in the parable Jesus gave, were pure, yet not all entered to meet the bride groom. The wise had extra oil, the foolish did not. Do you have extra oil enough to carry you though your marriage? The extra oil could be capacity to sustain marital pressure, character, skills, diplomacy, grace, knowledge, maturity, prayers etc. We acquire all these in preparations towards marriage through books, seminars, mentor-ship, counseling, personal upbringing etc. Virginity is not enough, you need extra oil. Your virginity ends after the wedding, what keeps the marriage is the extra oil you have. Virginity is important too (primary or secondary) else the people in my two stories were called on the basis of virginity, but not all were chosen. You need more than just virginity to keep a marriage. While you strive to keep your bed undefiled before marriage, either as a man or a woman, also strive to acquire the wisdom, favour, knowledge, character, extra oil needed for the journey of marriage because it’s a lifetime course which only VIRGINITY cannot sustain, so it is important to strike the balance. Marriages can crumble if we dont have these extra oil.
