A lustful kiss of immorality! Never again will that happen, she promised herself. But the young man she was courting would not let her be. "Do you expect me to be in courtship with you without kisses and romance?" He stared at her for a moment. "How am I suppose to cope in such a relationship as a young man? Won't things rather be boring?" He came closer, "sweetheart, I know we promised each other to abstain from sex till marriage, I know we also promised not to touch each other sexually till our wedding night. Yes, this was due to the counsel we received from Mr. and Mrs. Ikpeku, but I think that will not work out. We are engaged, and I think we are old enough to make our own decisions and also change whatever rule that is not convenient with us. C'mon, baby, a little kiss and romance will mean no harm. Should I be suffering in silence when I know you could quench my taste?”
He tried to kiss her, but Naomi turned her face to the wall. This was the third time she was refusing his demand. She came in from fellowship to collect her cell phone which she gave to him to charge, but Sammy ceased that opportunity wanting to prevail over her will. "I won't allow that happen." She turned back her face at him, "I will not allow you trick me. Our promise was not to defile ourselves like others, and we also agreed never to allow any sexual activity to come into this relationship. Don’t forget that God was the Invisible Eye that bore us witness when we made that promise. And He is still our witness up to this very hour. Should we dishonour Him by defiling our bodies? Should we neglect the gold He is longing to give to us, and pick up stones from the devil? No way!"
She picked up her cell phone, and then looked straight into his eyes. "My dear, I have a bright future ahead of me, and I think the time spent explaining all of these every time we met, is a wasted time in my journey. How can I be the second Eve that will destroy God's plan for your life? I rather remain unmarried than allow you do the sinful things you wish to do with my body." She stepped out of his room, and that was goodbye from her.
My God! But do we expect any less from her? Ladies like this are the type that have fire in their bones. And never will they allow any lustful thing such as kissing to quench their fire for God. Although she is no longer a virgin, but her repentance after she fell into fornication with a 'friend' on campus was indeed a genuine one. Yes, she is indeed typical of the kind of vessel God is seeking for use in this generation. The type that could look straight into the eyes of men without fear and remind them of God's plan for their lives. Those words never left the heart of Sammy, they kept coming to his mind every night and day. "How can I be the second Eve that will destroy God's plan for your life? I rather remain unmarried than allow you do the sinful things you wish to do with my body."
Did that challenge you, dear brothers and sisters? Could you see that the fall of a man is not the end of his life? Though this lady defiled herself at 18? Though she fell into fornication with a friend on campus? So what gave her the boldness to stand for purity and dignity? No doubt about this, she has seen the Invisible. Yes, she has been to the Cross where her sins were exchanged for righteousness. Now she is broken, and her mess has become a message. This could be your testimony friend, just as it is the testimony of several people including myself, who fell into several sexual sins and other kinds of sins, but the redemptive hand of God captured us and brought us back to Himself.
Sitting down to complain about your weakness will not profer the solution. Neither will remaining in that relationship and applying different rules and regulations do the work. One may not be having sex, kissing or romancing in a relationship, but lust and masturbation has conquered them times without number. For such, they need to come to the end of the life in the flesh, and look unto Jesus the one who died for all and set all free from sin. And this can be done by going beyond answering altar calls and confessing one's sin to God. Yes, go beyond that and believe that Jesus is the only One that can set you free from that sin.
Cry and call on Him, look on Him and see what He did to set you free from His word. Go beyond reading the letters of the Bible, but seek for revelation from it allowing the Holy Spirit to help and guide you. And do not stop doing this even after you are set free from those sins. Because it will help you grow into Christ likeness. May God unveil Christ to us again and again and cause us to be changed into His image in Jesus name. Amen
