PURE ECSTACY

In a pool of pure ecstasy, overshadowed by passion and desire, torn between pleasing God and pleasing himself, lies a man at loss with himself! The spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is over increasingly weak! All that is at the forefront of his mind is to thrust and overcome his carnal pleasure and desire.

From the heavens above, the angels watch with fear in their eyes, disappointed that man, created far above them is engaging in that which God hates. The twenty four elders are not left out in the alarming scene as they couldn’t help but pause their undiluted worship to watch as man in reckless abandon, ignores his place and position in the kingdom of God.

The Most High whose eyes are too holy to behold iniquity turns His eyes away but His omnipresent character enables Him to fully comprehend all that man indulges in. As Jesus tries to intercede on behalf of man, the accuser comes forward and makes a boast of how he makes man falls into temptation at his command.

 In the bid to save the situation, the Holy Spirit in man, knocks on the door of his conscience, shouting with a loud voice “noooo, don’t plug it! Marriage is honourable, the bed undefiled! Flee from fornication!” But alas, the inner hears of man has been blocked by the voice of his flesh which keeps screaming in excitement “ yes! Do it! Go faster! Show that you are the man! After all, Biblical David with all his intimacy with God couldn’t ignore the beauty of Bathsheba!”

Soon, the competition ends and the Spirit of God quietly walks away, feeling so grieved and angry as the Devil gives man a high five for a job ‘well done’. The angels go back to their business, the twenty four elders get back to work, but from the inner chambers, a shrill cry is heard, Jesus is being nailed again, because a born again has resulted into sin! The blood flows down, dripping on the ground, the Father looks upon the blood and as if a dagger struck at His heart, His heart pierces into two, he is heartbroken! But even in the reserviour of His broken heart lies a fountain of love so deep and a desire to fellowship with man!

 The scene ends, and man finally finishes his act. Suddenly, like a man waking up from sleep, he realizes his mistakes, the scales have finally fallen off his eyes only that they fell off too late! The deed has been done; the temple of God has been bruised, deflowered and destroyed! He tries to access the throne of God but there seems to be a wall above him, his prayers keep bouncing back to the ground, he tries to recollect his actions then he remembers that someone was once knocking at the door of his heart. Ha! He shut out the Holy Spirit! He opens the door, but he couldn’t find anyone, all he could see was blood, red as crimson, flowing with life and he knew from the recess of his being where the blood came from...In pain, he wailed, feeling so bad for nailing the Son yet again, after the price has already been paid at the cross of Calvary. He cries out to God in repentance and like a fax message, his repentance reaches the heavenly throne of mercy! The blood of Jesus begins to flow in abundance and soon, his stained garment becomes as white as snow, his heart is renewed, the angels rejoice, the Father forgives him, their relationship is restored and the Spirit of God speaks in a still small voice and with a smile on His face saying “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world”.

Dear friends, co-labourers in the vineyard of God, this article is written to as many Christians who have allowed sexual immorality debar them from the throne of God, God is so heartbroken, but he still loves you and he wants you back to himself, just repent right now and let the blood shed on the cross forever renew you. Isaiah 1: 18 says, “…though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though they be red as crimson, they shall be as wool”. You can stand in God, you can stay sexually pure, God is ready to help you, just listen to His spirit and don’t let the devil take advantage of you!
