THE TRENDING SIN

A beautiful phenomenon tilted by the devil to suit his purposes has seemingly wrapped almost all of us in a cage that look impossible to be free from. This is how the enemy has used and is still using sexuality as a weapon to destroy this generation.

Every Christian is  commanded to avoid premarital sex. Every Christian is to flee away from lust. The topic of lust, fornication and adultery seem to have being over emphasized in our churches. Sadly, many Christians are still fornicating. A whole lot of Christians out there are still struggling with masturbation and pornography. Very few Christians have being able to bring LUST under submission. These are not the only group of Christians this article is for, but especially for the Christians I would term under the group "Sex starved Christians". These are Christians that do not partake in the 'act' but they think a whole lot about it. It is the controlling thought in their mind, the secretly pleasuring thought, the thoughts that cannot be spoken. They wish they could freely partake in the act and not be condemned for it. They secretly feel like they have being denied a pleasure of life, as though they are missing out of life. These is one of the reasons why Virginity has been stigmatised as well. Most Virgins are even ashamed of their status. If they would have their way, and if it wouldn't affect their status quo in the church, and if it wouldn't paint them as sinners, then they had rather be trending too.
The sex starved Christian. Mat 5:28
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
(KJV)
The pleasure in the thought alone is equal to committing the act. We have to come to an understanding of our body being the temple of the Holy Ghost as much as we have to understand when the bible says bring your flesh to subjection. Sexuality is not an evil phenomenon, No. Having sexual urges sometimes doesn't make you a Satan's child, rather it is what you do with this thoughts, the defiling of God's temple that is the sin. Your ability to control this thoughts and not be controlled by them makes a huge difference.
So you are there, and in your secret place; you murmur and whine as how God is not sending the right man fast and how you not settling down early enough and all of that. Know ye today that sex can never be a good enough reason to settle down.
I proffer to you the only solution I know. Talk to Jesus. Many of us pretend to God as though he doesn't search through us. He knows, so talk to him about. Be candid, be truthful, be sincere. Tell him to help you out. We all need help with our thoughts and we need to play our role by staying clear of provoking materials. Do not tempt the spirit, flee from all appearances of evil. Flee!!! Do not be caught in this satanic web. Set an example, set a pace, Everyone might be doing it but YOU, a royal priesthood cannot do it!!!!

MAKING HIM PROUD

I was walking past a primary school and my ears were filled with cries of  "We are the winner".  I know most of us still recall that chant. This continued till I left the street and I was smiling at myself remembering back in those days in shorts and shirt. Right at that moment a new thought swept through my mind and settled there.
God has less and less of his children to boast about. Remember uncle Job? There are not so many 'Job' nowadays.  Just like the team chant of the Children,  am quite certain that's  how the heavenly squad goes chanting too when a Christian is victorious.  Just picture it,  picture Angel Gabriel,  Angel Michael and others,  the Twelve elders,  Jesus all boasting of you and rejoicing to the shame of the enemy.
My fellow believers,  let's stop giving evidences and witnesses to the devil, that which can be presented against us in the Holy court. Let's make our advocate Jesus proud.
"Keep Repping" the father,  Kingdom sons and daughters.

THE LOVE STORY

Who would have known that Enoch was the bride's name. Good news! The groom didn't mind. They were not yet joined but everyone could see the devotion of Enoch to her groom. She worshipped him, submitted to him, yearn for  his presence daily, communicated with him, listened to him....Enoch was always ready to do as "her beloved" had commanded. "Her beloved" was all to her and of course "her beloved" loved her so much. He would always tell her how he loved her even before she knew him. How he wooed was another story entirely. Enoch basked in his presence, grace and glory. It was evident on her face.

He had found someone who was after his heart and not his hand. She was different. He could wait no more....

Little wonder; when it was still not yet time for them to get married; the groom escaped with "Enoch". This is God's love story.
