SATISFACTION

I’m back after a long break. I had to get rid of some exams and a project work. But I’m through with it all so expect more messages. Back in Junior High School, I had a friend who we knew as the ladies’ man. He was always fooling around with ladies. He became popular with so many nicknames. He was also very intelligent and got the attention of almost everyone including the teachers. He told me he had committed almost every sin before. I doubted it so I made him explain himself. He said, first of all, he was sexually immoral. That is he watches pornography, press the breast and buttocks of ladies and run away. Back in the days, video cassettes players were used to watch videos. Also we had video rental shops around. He told me that he had finished watching all the pornographic films at a particular video rental shop and that whenever he goes to rent a pornographic video cassette from that shop, he realises that he has watched it before. He told me he started fornicating at the age of ten and at the age of fourteen he was caught having sex with a lady. Due to that he changed and turned into a homosexual for two years. I just couldn’t believe all that I was hearing but he told me he was telling me the truth. He also told me he had drunk alcohol before. He told me he followed a lady to a drinking spot and tasted alcohol for first time only to be carried to his room. He never took it again because he didn’t like the experience. For smoking, he tasted it for first time when another friend lighted a piece of a cain and he sucked the smoke into his mouth and started coughing. Again he never smoked again because he didn’t like the experience. For stealing, he stole for first time in nursery. He stole a friend’s toy and was caught and punished. Again he didn’t like the experience so he never stole again. And the sins go on and on and on. But through all this, he told me that, HE WAS NEVER SATISFIED. He told me that most often he felt regret and guilty after committing some of the sins. He wished he could stop but couldn’t till one day. He told me that he fornicated one day and felt a very strong feeling of regret. This made him changed from all his bad ways he said. He stopped fooling around with ladies, stealing, fornicating etc. This happened at the age of sixteen. He gave his life to Christ at the first altar call at church in Senior High School by confessing Lord Jesus and accepting him into his life as stated in the Holy Bible at Romans 10:9-10 and I quote “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God had raised Him from the dead you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (NKJV)”. Since then his life has never been the same. He is now nine years old in Christ. So if you are in a similar situation, as a motivator and counsellor, I will encourage you not to give up and to keep on praying and God will surely visit you one day and take you out of that. Also get yourself occupied with activities at church as that will also take your mind off certain things. After my friend gave his life to Christ, things started to turn around. It was then that he realised where the satisfaction was. HE TOLD ME THAT HE IS NOW SATISFIED. There is total satisfaction in Christ Jesus. So if you want to enjoy this satisfaction then I will encourage you to give your life to Christ. It’s simple. Just say this prayer after me Lord Jesus I thank you for coming to me today. Lord Jesus, forgive me for all my sins and come into my life. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and personal saviour. Come into my heart and take control over my life. I surrender my will to you. Come and direct my path. I thank you Lord Jesus for coming into my life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Congratulations and welcome to the world of satisfaction in Christ Jesus. Now find for yourself a Bible believing church and attend. Also don’t forget to pray without season. Finally, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you now and forever more. Amen!!!!!!!
