Christianity Etc › The Lover Boy Who Was Having Sex With The Wrong Lover by Interesting15(op): 8:21am On Jul 02, 2023
I present to you the unfortunate incident of Samson - the lover boy who was drawn by lust and ended his destroy glorious destiny on the laps of an enemy whom he thought loved him (Judges chapter 13 - 16). Delilah was a wrong lover because she was not his God-ordained married wife and their sexual relations were not inside a marriage institution.

You see, God is Love, and since we were created in His image and likeness, it follows that we are also creatures of love, created to love and receive love. We all have the innate desire to love (to give and show love to others), as well as crave to receive love from others (to be shown love in return). This is a characteristic of a normal person created in God's image and likeness.

However, the error of many people lies with where they go to seek love, and what they fell in love with. Hence, many are in problem today because they fall in love with dangerous persons and things that were designed by the evil devil to carry out his evil mission - to steal, to kill and destroy (John 10:10).

We can talk about alcohol and drugs; masturbation and pornography; immoral boyfriends and girlfriends relationships; materialism and mammon; etc. They thought these things are good lovers that will give them genuine pleasure and satisfaction. Unfortunately, like Samson, these things are only Delilah's relatives that lead them to destruction, ruin, and regret.

Problem arises when you fail to channel your love to the right One - the right Lover. You are configured to love God your Creator first and above any other, and to receive love from Him above anything else. When you are saturated with God's Love and you find pure fulfillment inside of Him alone, it guides how you give love to those around you, and you are directed to like only the things He permits (which won't be harmful to you).

You can explore love inside of God (which is what you are destined to do) through faith in Jesus Christ. As you embrace Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, He sends a tangible Lover to your life - the Holy Spirit. As you grow in love with Him, He empowers you to keep attending to the business of love in the right way.

Stop seeking pleasure from sinful and harmful persons and places and things. They are polluted counterfeits of the original thing - that you enjoy pure pleasure in your relationship with the Lord Jesus. I'm inviting you into this peaceful life, as you surrender your life to Jesus today.

Bible says: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ), that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16). Embrace the true Lover of Your soul today - the only One that can die for your Salvation from sin, death, satan and hell.

Today is your day of salvation. Wherever you are, simply ask the LORD to show you mercy and come reign in your life. "Jesus, show me mercy, and come into my life".

If you need any assistance, please contact me. God bless you, in Jesus Name. Amen

Christianity Etc › The High Rate Of Immoral Sex Amongst Young People Today by Interesting15(op): 7:56am On Jun 25, 2023
It is no longer a secret that premarital sex (or fornication) is something prominent in the circle of youths today. However, it's not only a sin, but there are also tons of terrible repercussions attached to the act. The Bible is straightforward about sexual immorality.

"Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside to the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body" 1 Corinthians 6: 18

Yes, I know you have healthy sexual urges. But you must know how to be in control of yourself, hence you find yourself in trouble and get disgraced (the devil utilizes sin to disgrace people). Trust me, living holy and chaste in a corrupt society like ours is still possible, and it's very beautiful.

"Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness... Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience" (Colossians 3:5,6)

Premarital sex comes with terrible spiritual repercussions too. When a person indulges in it, you give access to the devil to plunder your life ruthlessly.. And what the devil does is to "steal, kill, and destroy" (John 10:10)

"Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?" (1Corinthians 6:19)

You don't own yourself actually. Hence, you must live your life pleasing God in holiness and in truth.

There are several sexual temptations out there today. In your school, at home, there are several agents of sexual temptations. Hence, you must always avoid people, places, things, and situations that can lure you into sexual immorality.

"For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6: 20)

When it comes to living a life of true holiness, it gets easier as you give yourself wholly to the Lord Jesus, because He will send the Holy Spirit to you, Who will help you (the Holy Spirit is our Helper). So, if you are yet to give your life to JESUS, this is another good opportunity, as tomorrow might just be too late...

Simply tell Jesus, "LORD JESUS, have mercy on me and come into my life".

"Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie" Revelation 22:14, 15

You are blessed for honouring GOD with your body. You will be rewarded by God both here on earth and in eternity..

But if you die in sexual immorality (young people too can die anytime) or the rapture should take place now (the signs are more and more stronger), such a person will be condemned into the lake of fire (where there's no more room for repentance).

Please help yourself by aligning with GOD now that you are still young.

One thing I know (which is the Truth), is that Heaven is filled with tons of exciting activities, and there will be no dull moments there. It's going to be pure bliss from eternity to eternity...

You can't afford to miss the Rapture (the hitch-free vehicle that will transport genuine children of God to the feast-land of our Christ)

Therefore, accept Jesus Christ today and make Him your Lord and Savior. Call upon His Name and you will be saved. Forsake your sinful ways and ask Jesus for mercy. God loves you.

Christianity Etc › How I Embraced Sexual Purity - My Personal Journey by Interesting15(op): 7:11am On Jun 04, 2023
When I was a little boy, despite that my immediate environment wasn't one that encouraged full-blown spirituality (in God), I usually feel the hand of God on me, and I'm usually conscious of His presence. As I approached the adolescence period of my life, as expected, sexual urges started coming, and I was also with the desire to express these emotions. Despite that the devil stationed other young teenage females around, I found myself being hindered continually from defiling myself.

While I was still contemplating, as a very young teenager (many years ago), if I should taste sex once, or wait until marriage, everything changed after God visited me with His offer.....

The Host of Heaven visited me as a young boy, and the offer was: Walk before Me and be perfect, and in return, I will give you...... In return, I will make you....

After reflecting deeply on which way to go, I decided to go for God's offer, since I discovered it is more beneficial to me. So, it means I have to fight to ensure I won't fall into temptation and displease God.

Interestingly, God made it so easy for me.. When I see young people lamenting that their sexual urges are "driving them insane", I can't really relate, because I'm fully in control of mine."

The best decision I made in my life was deciding to embrace God's offer from a very young age and walk with Him. I keep enjoying pleasantness in all regards. I keep enjoying His Grace in awesome ways. I keep getting great things others struggle for, easily.

In fact, one of the rewards was writing to encourage others to embrace purity and chastity. I have been writing since I was a young teenager, and my books and articles are being bought and read in different parts of the world - even in faraway places like India! And of course, I'm sure God is still taking me to higher grounds.

Because of that decision, I can boldly say it anywhere that I haven't indulged in premarital sex and I'm undefiled. And guess what? I'm very fine! Very healthy. I won't defile myself, and so, my messages will keep touching the world with fire, and bring people to the will of God through Jesus Christ.

Beloved, just as God gave me the offer, He is also giving you the offer to walk before Him and be perfect. If you align yourself with God by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and you decided to devote your life to Him, He will give you dominion over sin, the devil, and creation (financially, health-wise, family-wise, etc).

Jesus said: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)

Like me, you can live an undefiled life. Don't believe the lies of the devil that you can't control these urges. Stop allowing sexual immorality to wreck your life. Flee from all appearances of sin.

Jesus wants an eternal communion with you. It is your destiny to serve God in Spirit and in Truth through Jesus Christ His Son, and have dominion over creation. Open yourself to the Lord. Call upon His Name, and He will help you. God bless you.

Christianity Etc › When You Are Addicted To Sexual Pleasures by Interesting15(op): 7:36am On May 28, 2023
It is abnormal and an aberration to be under the yoke of anything negative as a human. This is because, the destiny of Man (males and females) is to have an intimate righteous relationship with God through faith in Christ Jesus, wherein you are empowered to have dominion over creation, including the devil, sin, death, hell, and anything else negative.

For clarification's sake, talking about being addicted to sexual pleasures here denotes being addicted to sexual pleasures contrary to God's Will for sexual pleasure.

What is God's perfect Will for sexual pleasure? God's perfect Will for sexual pleasure is that all manner of sexual pleasure must be shared between a man (a male) and his married wife (a female) in the safe circle of their marriage institution, without the involvement of any other party.

Hence, it is sinful (and dangerous) acquiring (or being addicted to) sexual pleasure from the likes of premarital sex (having sex when you are not married), extramarital sex (having sex with someone other than your own spouse), homosexuality (sexual relations between members of same gender. Like lesbianism which is between females and gayism which is between males), pornography (deriving sexual pleasure from seeing the unclothedness of others), masturbation (playing with your sexual organs for sexual pleasures), other immoral sexual acts like smooching someone not your married spouse, sextings and the rest of them.

Now, if you are addicted to getting sexual pleasure from any of the aforementioned sources and routes, you need help right away, and you must declare a state of emergency upon your life. This is because, you are close to destruction (as the enemy of your soul is all out to make a mess out of your life).

What should you do?

"...because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one" 1 John 2:14


Simple: The Word of God gives the victory!

The Word of GOD is all you need to establish a right relationship with God your Maker, where you will be empowered to overcome anything evil (including sexual immorality and addictions).


And I'm delighted to announce to you that Jesus Christ is the Word of GOD. Jesus must dwell in you if you want to overcome sinful sexual desires.

Hence, you will make the best decision today when you decide to embrace Jesus Christ as LORD and Saviour of your life. Simply open your heart and ask Jesus for mercy today.

Also, the LORD has made Himself so accessible through the written word of God (the Bible). Hence, ensure you constantly saturate yourself with scriptures, and your spirit and soul will always be empowered to live above the lust of the flesh.

Finally, avoid feeding your flesh with lustful things (romantic movies and novels, bad songs, and so on). Avoid people, places, things, and circumstances that promote these sinful sexual pleasures. Rather, give great priority to spiritual activities like prayer and fasting and worship.

It is helpful to be accountable to a mature believer around you. Set the right boundaries and be busy with productive activities (including fulfilling your purpose, utilizing your talents, etc). Also, take appropriate sacrifices (such as putting away your smart phone for some time). You are on your way to victory. These things will prove profitable in no small measure.

Remember, the LORD your Good Father has given you all it takes to overcome the evil one with all of his dirty things. But this can only be possible when you have a righteous relationship with God in Christ Jesus, where you become empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Open up yourself to the LORD JESUS today. It's your destiny to have a righteous relationship with God that is eternal in nature through Jesus Christ. This is what empowers you to have dominion over creation.

Christianity Etc › What If All These Things Are Really True? by Interesting15(op): 7:53am On May 14, 2023
One of the core expressions of the craftiness of the devil in preventing people from coming to the Light of Christ is to make them doubt the existence of God, the supernatural world, and Christ's Salvation package; and to prevent them from being "rational or wise indeed"

For some, after hearing preachings of spiritual truths from Christians, they keep their hearts hardened, and concluded that there is no iota of truth in the claims.

"How can you say there is a God up there?", "Who created that God?" "It is a lie", "There is nothing like Heaven or hell", "It makes no sense", "It's all a lie".

But wait: What if all these are actually true? What if, after you die someday, you then discover that God actually exists and that He has actually prepared everlasting bliss in Heaven for those who accepted His Son Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior?

Look at it from that perspective: What if the preachers are actually right regarding their preachings about Hell Fire?

If you claimed to be a "reasonable" person, and you failed to think in this direction at some point, then something is wrong somewhere.

Having such thoughts like this should prompt you into taking steps to be on the safe side. So, when you die, and you discover that God really exists, and that He will judge you according to your works while on earth, you can be sure of justification.

How can you be on the safe side? Simply by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life. It's so simple. Pray to Him wherever you are now and ask Him to come into your life...

What if all these things are really true?

Remember, there are many Christians today who used to be staunch atheists. But the Lord Jesus revealed Himself to them, and they are now part of His fold.

What if all these things are true?

"And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last" Revelation 22: 12,13

God bless you.

Christianity Etc › 3 Things That Should Contribute To Our Identity As Young People by Interesting15(op): 8:02am On May 07, 2023
"I have written to you, young men (young people), because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one" 1 John 2:14

In this bible verse, the Apostle John, by the Holy Spirit, was able to highlight 3 things that should contribute to our identity as young people (as healthy young people).

Number one, he highlighted the strength of young people. Definitely, a healthy young person is physically stronger than the elderly one. Nevertheless, since Apostle John, at the point of writing this, was in the realm of the Spirit which is above this material world of ours, his expressions were not limited to simply the things we know in our own realm here. Hence, when he was talking about being strong, he wasn't limiting himself to mere physical strength.

Rather, he draws attention to the fact that it is the destiny of every young person to have divine strength and stamina. One major expression of divine strength is the capacity to stay in the presence of God continually. Simply put, as a young person, you have the inherent potential and ability to have a pleasant relationship with God right from the days of your youth - notwithstanding the hindrances and distractions prevalent today.

How is this possible? The second statement gave us the key: "... because the word of God abides in you". You see, the Word of GOD is all you need to establish a right relationship with God your Maker, and it is what will sustain you in Him, even in this dark world.

And I'm pleased to announce to you that Jesus Christ is the Word of GOD. Jesus must dwell in you if you would maximize your potential as a "strong" youth. Hence, it is your destiny to embrace Jesus Christ as LORD and Saviour today. Simply open your heart and ask Jesus for mercy today.

Additionally, Jesus Christ has made Himself so accessible through the written word of God (the Bible). Hence, ensure you constantly saturate yourself with scriptures, and your spirit and soul will always be empowered.

Finally, this verse reveals that every young person has the potential to overcome the evil one. How? Through the Word of GOD! You are not meant to be a slave to the devil and anything else negative - sickness, poverty, failure, sin, hell, and so on. But this can only be possible when you have a righteous relationship with God in Christ Jesus, where you become empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Open up yourself to the LORD JESUS today. It's your destiny to have a righteous relationship with God that is eternal in nature through Jesus Christ. This is what empowers you to have dominion over creation. GOD bless you in Jesus Name. Amen.

Happy Easter Sunday folks. Always remember, JESUS LOVES YOU ❤
Christianity Etc › The Beautiful Things Of Easter by Interesting15(op): 6:30am On Apr 09, 2023
Happy Easter celebration! I believe believers should be wise with the wisdom of God and take advantage of such times as this to blow the trumpet of our Risen LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. We must show the world the beauty of salvation in Christ, and show them how much He loves them.

And as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, I want to admonish you to celebrate it in a way that will please Him and make Him happy. You can easily get this done by understanding what is currently in His heart and aligning with His Will aggressively.

First, the LORD wants every one of us to nurture an intimate relationship with Him. Remember, Love was what made God create humankind in the first place. And even after Man rebelled against the Almighty God by disobeying His loving instructions, love made HIM visit the earth to die for us and set us free from the clutches of satan, sin, hell, and death.

So, God loves us (John 3:16), and He wants you to come closer to Him. God is not interested in religion, but that every one of us should have an intimate relationship with HIM, which is possible only by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and making intentional decisions to align with the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14,16)

So, if you are yet to embrace Jesus Christ, this is the best decision you can make today. Simply open your heart and tell HIM, "JESUS, have mercy on me, and come into my life"

If you are already a Christian, decide to get closer to God much more than the stage you are currently in.

Additionally, this Easter, we should make new commitments to expand the frontiers of the kingdom. God is the Supreme Creator, and all must bow to His authority. Once the Kingdom of God is flourishing in all facets of human endeavor, we will discover that the solution to humanity's crisis is the Kingdom of God.

And so, in this end time, God wants us to partner with Him to establish His Kingdom in different areas - media, the family, government, education sector, military, etc, where everyone will subscribe to His Lordship, and everything will be done only in accordance to His Will.

So, don't just live for yourself. Ask yourself, "How can I partner with the Holy Spirit to establish the consciousness of God in the area(s) He has planted me?" "How can I use my influence and resources to promote the agenda of Jesus Christ"?

Finally, the beautiful things of Easter demand that we live in preparedness for His Second Coming. The LORD wants us to know that He is coming back again very soon, and His coming is imminent. Hence, He wants us to stay true to Him, expectantly, as the night is far spent. For those of us that are already distracted by the affairs of this world, He wants us to repent and amend our ways.

God bless you

Christianity Etc › Core Nigerian Politicians You Should Pray For Today by Interesting15(op):
As believers, we must take intercession very seriously. An Intercessor is one who takes the place of another; one who pleads another's case. Since, as a Son of God through faith in Christ Jesus, you are destined to be a spiritual priest, then intercession must be a major preoccupation to you.

Today, I want to place emphasis on a very important direction our intercession should keep flowing towards.

1 Timothy 2: 1-4:
"Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."

The powers of priesthood are best maximized on the platform of selflessness. And if you don't know what to intercede for, scripture has given us very clear direction in verse 2:

"for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence."

In other words, raise incense on behalf of kings and those in authority (equivalent to our President and other government officials today

If you check the archives of history, a large chunk of those ancient kings were power drunk folks who treated their subjects like trash. However, God is still saying the kings are prominent set of people that should be interceded for first. On a political and rational level, it is a difficult thing for the people (because they won't like many of their rulers since there is no good connection in the first place). However, God wants His children to be more spiritual than political. We should not to be politically minded at the expense of spirituality

In our context, irrespective of what you think about the President of our nation, in God's agenda, the President is part of the most prominent set of people you should always intercede. So, when last did you really take time to intentionally intercede for the President of our country?

Now, many of those ancient kings and rulers (in different parts of the world) are pagans, and also evil. In our current society too, many of our political leaders are nasty and ungodly.

But why would God want us to always labour in the place of prayer for these ungodly and corrupt leaders?

Well, it is actually because of us (His children) and the fulfilment of His grand eternal agenda. See what the rest of that verse 2 says:

"(When we are diligent in raising incense for these guys, the result is that) we may lead (or live) a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence."

So, while God is asking us to intercede for these ungodly leaders that we don't like, He is actually thinking about our own well-being. Of course, our intercessions can bring about repentance to these leaders (God wants everyone to be saved). However, looking beyond these guys (many of them won't even submit themselves to the Lord due to power drunkeness, culture and other factors), God wants to use our intercessory prayers to ensure a pleasant environment where our services and communion with Him will keep flourishing.

God wants us to have societies where we can easily serve Him with peace and pleasantness. And He has given us a strong formula for this: be intentional about raising incense for your President and other government officials. Maybe this is something some believers in very hostile societies should see and know. Maybe they haven't been diligent in carrying this out, but are only praying for something bad to happen to these leaders.
