In a recent sermon on his “Ability to See” series, preacher Dr. Kuuku Dadzie Ephraim delivered a strong warning about the spiritual corruption of intimacy outside of marriage. According to Dr. Ephraim, God originally designed intimacy as a sacred gift for married couples — meant for reproduction and sanctified pleasure.
However, he said this divine purpose has been distorted by demonic influence, reducing intimacy to mere physical desire. As a result, he noted, it has become common among teenagers and unmarried individuals, far removed from its original, God-ordained context.
“Intimacy outside of marriage is fornication and unclean before God,” Dr. Ephraim declared. “But within marriage, it is holy and acceptable.”
He also criticized pastors who avoid teaching this truth and instead tolerate or encourage sexual immorality for personal or financial gain, warning that such leaders are not truly serving God.
Dr. Ephraim urged Christians — especially the youth — to return to biblical standards of purity and uphold God’s intentions for relationships and marriage.
