Why You Must Confess Your Sin of Adultery to Your Partner

Adultery is a grave sin and the same goes for stealing. But what happens when both sins occur unconfessed in a marriage. The husband cheated on the wife, while the wife was stealing husband's money. Both never saw any reason why they must confess their adultery and and other sins to their spouse, until the Holy Spirit intervened and helped redirected their paths from the way of hell. This short narration tells a true life story of a couple that would have gone to hell for not confessing the adultery and stealing each did to the other.

IMPORTANCE OF CONFESSING YOUR ADULTERY, AND OTHER SINS TO YOUR SPOUSE

Proverbs 28:13 KJV 

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. 

'You Are a Thief. Are You Any Better Than Adulterer? 

Sometimes ago, a man went on official duty to another state and slept with another woman, while there. The man later confessed the sin to God, asked for forgiveness and moved on, but never told his wife. One day, while the man was praying, he said he the Holy Spirit said to him that he would not make heaven because he was an adulterer. I am not an adulterer. Why should I not make heaven? The man asked. 

The man said the Holy Spirit told him, 'you cheated on your wife but never sought her forgiveness.' With tears, the man approached the wife to confess that he slept with another woman while he went on official duty. 

The woman became so angry and was fuming with hot temper and rage against her husband. 'You adulterer'. 'You stinking thing'. 'You don't even have shame'. I guess the woman might have used those words or even more harsh words on her husband. 

As the man kept begging while the woman raged on, the Holy Spirit convicted the woman and told her. 'What about you?'. 'Are you not a thief, stealing your husband money and inflating children school fees for your husband?' 'Are you any better than an adulterer'. 'Your husband has removed his own stumbling block'. 'If he dies now, he ll make heaven'. 

The woman burst into tears and immediately forgave the husband. She shared what she heard to the husband and also confessed to the husband that she had been stealing the man's money and also inflating children's school fees for the husband and begged the husband for forgiveness. 

The husband also quickly forgave his wife . He also handed his ATM cards to the woman and shared the PINs with her. He then told her not to steal his money again but to freely take money from his ATM. 

Inner Peace and joy was restored to the family. God had helped their weaknesses. 

As we await the return of the Lord, Jesus Christ, we need to always repent of our sins before God, and also confess to people we offended, where necessary. 

Note IF YOU MUST APPROACH ANYONE TO CONFESS ANY GROSS SIN YOU COMMITTED AGAINST THEM, REMEMBER TO SEEK COUNSELS, ESPECIALLY FROM SPIRIT-FILLED MAN OF GOD, BEFORE YOU TAKE THAT STEP.
