DANGERZONE

''...passing along the street near the corner, he took the path to her house in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night, and there a woman met him, with the attire of a harlot and crafty heart... She caught him and kissed him...I came out to meet you,diligently to seek your face and I found you, I have spread my bed with tapestry,coloured linen of Egypt. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh,aloes and cinnamon. Come, let us take our love unto morning, let us solace ourselves with love...with her enticing speech, she caused him to yield, with her flattering lips, she seduced him. Immediately, he went after her as an ox goeth to the slaughter...''( Proverbs 7:8-13,15-18,21,22)


This is the story of the young man and woman whom Solomon peered at through his window that night (Proverb 7:6) Likewise, God looks down through heaven's window upon the son of men and behold He sees a world totally obsessed with immorality and sexual gratification. 
One can see the marks of this craze almost everywhere, the society gratifies nudity,the advertising community exploits the woman's body for sales, music videos and movies cannot thrive without having nude scenes in it, magazines display so many obscene pictures, even the church which is supposed to be "the saving place" becomes "parish of seduction".

Hmmmm, read on as I dive more into the topic.
Fornication means unlawful sexual intercourse which could be premarital, extramarital or even homosexual etc. It is a consensual sexual relations between two people not married to each other.
 It should  be understood that lawful sexual relations are only honorable between a man and a woman who are lawfully married, any other scenario is sinful and immoral as the Bible clearly states " MARRIAGE IS HONOURABLE IN ALL AND THE BED UNDEFILED; BUT FORNICATORS AND ADULTERERS GOD WILL JUDGE" (Hebrew 13:4)

People who are unmarried and yet practice sex or its relations are in a state of rebellion against God's Word as seen in 1 Corinthians 6:16-18.

Though we live in a sex-crazed morally degraded world, the Word of God never change and it says, "now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord..."(1 Corinthians 6:13b). The path of immorality is a danger zone that you need to stay away from because it enslaves the heart,thwart destines, wreck lives and families, shatter great futures,and leaves the church in shambles, that even the younger generations may not be eluded from the muck of such scenes. The wise man was correct when he said, " for by means of harlotry, a man is reduced to a crust of bread...can a man take fire to his bosom and his clothes not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals and his fret not seared?"(Proverbs 6:26-29a)

Dear Reader, don't say 'I am so spiritual, I can't fall'. Please ask Mr. David Jesse, a man after God's own heart, a man of faith, and one who valiantly and victoriously overcame the enemies of God, he could not overcome the power of kindled fire of 'little immorality', this led him into more grevious transgression. Though he repented and was forgiven but the rest of his days after the 'act' were not the same. 
Don't be deceived dear, Fornication(sexual immorality or any other name you may call it)  is far more dangerous than you think, it damns the soul if not repented of.(Galatians 5:19-21)



What then can be done to avoid treading this tragedic pathway of doom?
First, Pray and receive Jesus Christ into your heart, retrace your step back to Him if you've gone astray from Him, ask Him to cleanse your past filthiness and He'll grant you the grace to walk in the newness of life.

Second, set a watch over your heart. Solomon wrote " keep(watchover) your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life". Train your heart in purity and this is only possible when you meditate and fill your heart with pure things, " ...whatsoever things are pure...if there be any virtue and if there be any praise,think on these things''(Philippians 4:8)

Third, Live Soberly, Godly and Righteously in this present age and time( Titus 2:11,12). Don't just profess it but be a practitioner of godliness.Let your principle be "will Jesus Christ say this, do this, listen to this, wear this,or go there if He was still on earth".

Finally, Flee fornication (1Corinthians 6:18).If you find yourself in situations like that of Joseph in Genesis 39, never try to reason out  with the seducer or linger around, just flee! Run as fast as you can for your life! Don't wait there saying you are Kabashing the spirit. Please heed the warning and escape from the DANGER ZONE.

Thanks so much fam for reading. Kindly share this post with a friend and please do leave a comment.

With much Love,
Debhie.

ALIYAH

 "Aliyah!” Father thundered my name. I had barely gotten enough sleep since I was awake the whole night clearing the house.  Father had just been appointed as the Emir of the Jama’are Emirate and the celebration held the previous day. Source: Tim.D "Uba ina zuwa”, I responded as I dawdled to the sitting room. There, I saw fury on father’s face, Momma was just staring at me with a face full of worry. My heart skipped a beat. I had never seen Uba and Uwa in such moods. “What could have happened?”, I wondered. My sleepy eyes cleared up fast when father handed me a piece of paper. “What is the meaning of the rubbish written here?”, he snapped. Glancing through the paper, sweat from heaven knows where flooded my body. I remained speechless as I recalled how it all started. I was in the central mosque some months ago, memorizing some of the verses of the Al-Baqarah. I was on verse 255 when I heard a strange voice whisper “Jesus is the only true and living God”.

CONFORMITY

Image
Hiya💃🤗 Last weekend, as I sat in one of the chairs in my room replying my WhatsApp chats, I reflected through the so many contents/trends and challenges rampaging the social media space, my heart sunk for a while. What even ignited more spark within me was the fact that believers were ‘innocently’ or should I say ‘ignorantly’ participating in the trend. It dawned on me that I was also not spared. How could that be?  *Sighs*  Read on. Did you know that every day, you are faced with forces that competes for your attention and loyalty? In fact, it is either you are being conformed to the world or you are standing out for Christ in the world. Conformity to the world comes in two forms: -actively pursuing to belong/fit in -or passively and slowly compromising your beliefs The first, is to be drawn to the world in all its practices and be heads over heels about it that you begin to imitate. I remember when I recently got into junior school, I wanted to experience the independence and eupho

THEN WHERE IS THE HELP ????

Image
  Ohhh no! It happened again. But why? But why? She shrieked. Her eyes were filled as she moved close to the door. She peeped through the small opening then paced back to the front of the window. “I just hope no one saw me. I don’t want to do these anymore but I can’t just stop, I can't stop, I have tried all means, I’ve prayed a million times, seems God has just decided to shut the door of heaven on all my prayers and effort.  She looked toward her bedside, the sight of her discharge on the dildo disgusted her, then she turned towards the other corner, there, she sighted her old-skinned bible. She looked away at first but then, just like a magnet, she was attracted to the so called “holy book”. She moved to where it lies, picked it up and flipped through the pages not knowing exactly where to open. Her hands froze on getting to page 564 as she was glued to the prints which reads, “my help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth”. She paused, then, whispered in tears, “i

KASHAMADUPE

Oshey!! ✌️ 2020 is waving bye to us already...mehn! it’s been a year full of so much ups and downs but in all kashamadupe. Debhie and her hair😂😂 Things might not have gone the way you wanted, better still, if you were able to get through all your set goals, one thing is still important: GRATITUDE Gratitude changes our perspective, our feelings, our outlook about a situation (good/bad) but you know what? Gratitude is a choice We can choose to complain about a situation, focus on what we lack, wallow in self-pity, feel victimized or even blame others/ ourselves for our failures….but you know what again, it won’t change the circumstance.  Don’t get me wrong o. I am not insinuating that gratitude will come easily or naturally in a crisis. It’s easy to feel grateful for the good things. No one “feels grateful" that he or she has lost a loved one, job, home or good health. But it is vital to make a distinction between " feeling grateful " and " being grateful " bec

RIPPLES

Image
She watched and listened as they raged that night, she was only seven, though her naïve mind could not comprehend why her father was always hitting her mother, she just knew it wasn’t right. “is this how every home is? What is wrong with my daddy?’’. She was still on the island of thoughts when she heard her mother scream, then ‘gbua’ she heard again, her mother was lying lifeless on the ground. That was the beginning of a new journey for her, a journey of utter hatred for men.              −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− “I know I’m a monster, I know, it’s written all over me, even mummy calls me that every day, she said I’m the reason my father left, that I am not good for anything, at school, the same thing, my teacher said I can never know anything because my brain is too dull…I’m just a bad luck, she wallowed in tears as she soliloquized. “nobody wants to be associated with me, all I’ve tried to do had never worked well, I don’t even think there is hope for me again” she picked up the sni

TOO FAR BUT NOT GONE (1)

Image
Hello Fam, Eku one thousand and one years😉...I've missed this space alot. Hmm! God help me in this consistency journey 🥺 I had written this piece since the end of November, 2021...it just found it way out of my diary today. It was a conversation with a friend.  'For though the righteous man falls 7 times, he shall rise again…' ‘For there is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail. Its root may grow old in the ground and its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water, it will bud, and bring forth shoots like a plant’ I told him my point of view on those verses (an application of it, not it's literal context) and his response to me was “are you planning to fall or slip away from the way of the LORD?”. I smiled then narrated my experience with him, same experience I'll share in this post. It happened that during my housemanship, I got entangled with a guy and some events my dad didn’t endorse followed. I f

BEHIND THE MASK

Image
"For years, I lived with memories of abuse and rape. At age 12, I was launched into the world of sex by my so called "uncle".I was left in the care of this monstrous being since my parents died from an accident. He would molest and sexually abuse me threatening that he would not fend for me if he can't have me.There was no one I could open up to, not really because there was no one but I felt no one will understand me so I endured the pain, and hurt as a child. I became a resilient girl behind the smiling mask, I kept the secret and did what was expected of me to survive the world that treats survivors as perpetrators. I was a chameleon to survive and live again. I hid the past abuse I suffered from my uncle and learned to smile to say I'm okay but within me is so much pain and disgust that I could neither forgive myself nor my uncle". This is the story of a lady I read about few weeks ago. What prompted this writing was the increasing rate of young people i
