BIBLE PASSAGE: 2 Samuel 13:1-32
1.And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
2.And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her.
3.But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.
4.And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
5.And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.
6.So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.
7.Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat.
8.So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.
9.And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.
10.And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
11.And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.
12.And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
13..And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.
14.Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
15.Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.
16.And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her.
17.Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.
18.And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
19.And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
20.And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
21. But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
23. And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
23.And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
24.And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
25.And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.
26.Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee?
27.But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
28.Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.
29.And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.
30.And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
31.Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
32.And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

LESSON OUTLINE
Consequences of Suicide
1. The problems the erroneously believe would be over when they have committed suicide would still be there even after they had died.
2. In their disembodied state they would be unable to do anything about their problems. It is written in Hebrews 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment"
3. They also have to view the unfortunate effects of their action on their loved ones.
They would be compounding the sorrow of the family.
4. They have transgressed the bible commandment that says "Do not kill" Exodus 20:13. Even secularly, they would be prosecuted by the state if they ever survive it.
You were made by God, You are not your own. It is not your life to take take.
And God, your Maker, made you for a purpose. It may not feel like it is right now, but you are His and He has given you the gift of life for a divine purpose. Don't abuse that gift He has graciously given you. Instead try to find out the reason He has given it to you and serve Him.
Consequences of Rape
1. Survivors can face extremely difficult and painful emotions and experiences.
2. Every survivor responds to traumatic events in their own way. The effect of the trauma can be short-term or long-term ( much after the sexual assault or rape).
2 Sam. 13:19-20.
3. Physical effects of rape include bruising, bleeding (vaginal and anal), difficulty walking, soreness, broken or dislocated bones, sexually transmitted infections and diseases, unwanted pregnancy, etc.
4. Victims may never get back to normal life any more.
The Counsel for the victims of rape are: - Acknowledge what happened to you (Psalm 46:1).
- Replace bitterness with forgiveness (Matthew 6:14; Mark 11:25)
- Come to God for healing (Psalm 143:3; Jeremiah 17:14).
- Seek godly counsel (Psalm 119:50; Proverbs 15:22).
- Prompt medical treatment.
- Serve God with all your heart and strength.
Consequences of Murder
Murder is in most cases caused by anger which which may be out of control. Cain the first son of Adam became the first offender (Genesis 4:1-15). The source of murder comes from the heart (minds, the core of an individual's character) where hatred and anger are festered by Satan. If we have this evil traits in our hearts, we are fostering the spirit of murder.
Reasons for Murders are : Revenge, Jealousy, Greed (for money or any material), Power, Blinding Anger/Ego, Blinding Obsession/Addition (Love, Lust, Drugs, Intoxicants, and expensive Lifestyle), Fear(of losing one's or someone else's life, of one's secrets being exposed, of one's interest being harmed), Low Socio-Economical status, Psychological disorders, etc.
SUMMARY: Never agree to join partnership with the devil by fulfilling his works.
CONCLUSION: Satan wants you to kill yourself but Jesus wants you to really live. If you listen to Satan, you will be destroyed (John 10:10). If you listen to Jesus, you will find true life. "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it". 1 Corinthians 10:13. Note that you are not the only person who is going through trials, troubles, trauma and temptation, but God has promised a way out, look unto Him, don't let the devil deceive you, God will surely help you through that situations.
