Nawa oo, what did i just read? Parents need to be watching out for their kids... Things are happening. This world is an evil place....

UNCONTROLLABLE TOHTOH

Good day Stella,I must commend you for the amazing job you are doing.Thank you for this platform.I have always wanted to send this my story but I have been so busy. I decided to make out time today and write to you because this story has to be told.I need to unburden here. Please post on chronicles and don't forget to hide my Email.My story sounds unbelievable but it is true.

Heres my story, I grew up in a very strict family, my parents were staunch Christians and they made sure we were like them. we are three in my family, two girls and a boy. We never missed mass and bible study.

we all prayed religiously in the house. My nightmare started when my parents travelled for a religious event in another state and sent us to our cousin’s house. I was so happy to go because I wanted a home that was less strict like my family, they were allowed to watch tv,go out to play etc than us and I was 9 years old then and yearned for that kind of freedom.

I had really big cousins that I got along with very well and staying with them was so exciting. During my stay my cousin that was 16 at that time started molesting me, when everybody goes out to play, he would take me to his room and touch me all over, I felt uncomfortable the first time but he assured me that it was cool and that I should promise him that I would never tell a soul, I loved this my cousin and trusted him , I wanted to please him so I agreed not to tell.

He told me that i would enjoy it that its sweet and its because he loves me. He touched me in ways that aroused me and from touching my vagina and sucking my little breast, he graduated to fingering me before penetrating me. I will never forget the pain I felt that day. it was so painful, he assured me that it would be sweeter the next time that he forgot to use something. The next time he rubbed something on his penis which I didn’t know what it was at the time but now that I am an adult im sure it was Vaseline, sex was less painful. He made sure I enjoyed the sex. With time I stared enjoying the act and longed for his fingering and penetration.

it was carzy. Nobody suspected anything, he was so smart about it. That was how I was introduced to sex at a very young age by my own cousin. when it was time to go, he was actually crying and I felt he must really love me for him to be crying and I cried as well. After that sexual encounter with my cousin, it was as if I was possessed, all I could think about was sex, I wanted to be fingered badly, I wanted to feel something inside my vagina and I had no one to indulge with except my 12 year old brother, I will never forget the look on his face the day he was sleeping and I climbed his bed, covered our body with duvet and started rubbing his penis, it responded so well and I guided his hand to my vjay and he was shocked, i told him to rub my vjay and I kept rubbing his, that made me feel a little better, though I craved the real deal, but the fingering by my brother was better than nothing.

soon I was admitted to an all girls school in Lagos. I entered school and became an fully fledged lesbian, I initiated a lot of girls and we inserted all sorts in our vagina to feel something in there. i was thinking of sex every time. i was always fingering girls, there was a time I was caught by a senior prefect and was disgraced during assembly but that didn’t stop me,I became more cautious, in fact stella I became a nympho, I was not concentrating in school activities, all I thought of was sex, girl, man, object, anyone was okay with me, I just wanted something inside my vagina.

I continued with this lifestyle when I managed to enter unilag with Expo of course because I didn’t know jack. i have slept with uncountable men and women, I have done several abortions and contracted lots of diseases because I do mine with reckless abandon. My family knows of my life style and have sent me for numerous deliverance but I still can’t let go of my reckless life style.

I feel strongly that the animal that molested me as a child transferred demons to me because his life is useless as well, nothing is moving in his life. I had to open to my family about the abuse,my parents are devastated, my mom is a shadow of herself and it hurts me that I am the cause of their condition.

Please dear BVS this story is so real and things are happening, I had to leave out a lot of gory details of my past because if i write am, some of you will not believe it. please I need help, nothing is moving in my life, i am always having sex with people no matter their background,its as if am cursed. Does anyone know a powerful man that can deliver me, even if the person is a native doctor, I don’t mind. Parents please be careful. Thank you Stella.

Psalm 91:10–11
No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

Don’t you just sense your Father’s love in these words? Like a mother hen that spreads her wings over her chicks to protect them, God will “cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge”. (Psalm 91:4) So don’t be fearful of accidents, terrorist attacks, diseases or tsunamis because your heavenly Father loves you and watches over you.

One of the ways He does this is with His angels. God has declared that no evil, plague or accident will befall you or even come near your dwelling “for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways”. When He says “no”, He means “no-thing”! And if He tells His angels to “keep you in all your ways”, it means round-the-clock divine protection for you!

Let me share with you a true story. A Christian was flying his plane when he realized that it was low on fuel. He contacted the air traffic controller and asked for assistance to land. But he was told that he could not land because there was a heavy fog. Then, the radio went silent and the plane entered the fog.

He was flying blindly when he suddenly heard over his headphones, “Pull up! Pull up!” He pulled up just in time to avoid hitting the expressway! Then, the voice said, “Follow my instructions and I will help you land safely.”

He obeyed and landed perfectly. Thinking that it was the air traffic controller who had helped him, he immediately looked for him to thank him. But when he found him, the man said, “Listen, we lost contact with you when I told you that there was a heavy fog. None of us managed to speak to you after that.” The pilot realized then that God had sent an angel to lead him to safety.

Beloved, your heavenly Father is watching over you. That is why no evil will befall you, nor will any plague come near your dwelling. And He has a host of angels to keep you in all your ways!

Thought For The Day

Don’t be fearful because your heavenly Father and His angels are watching over you.

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God (1 Cor. 6:9-11 ).

Of all the questions about OSAS , those that refer to the above passage are among the most numerous. On its face, the first part of 1 Cor. 6:9-10 seems pretty clear, the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God . No argument there. It’s Christianity 101. And the examples Paul used to show what he meant by “unrighteous” are all clear violations of God’s Law.

Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

Some of his examples, like fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals, and sodomites appear on most lists of “big” sins. These are sins that lots of people hate, and while they are certainly sins, their notoriety causes some people to gloss over the other ones Paul mentioned. Stealing, coveting, drunkenness and reviling (criticizing in an abusive or insulting manner) often get ignored in people’s minds, having been overshadowed by “the big ones.”

And, at least among the people who send me questions, it seems that many people don’t even take a glance at 1 Cor. 6:11 , And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

For that reason, I’d like to take a detailed look at the whole passage to see if we can figure out what Paul really meant here.

A Closer Look

First, let’s go back to 1 Cor. 6:9 . Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?

If we really read that verse carefully we would see it can’t apply to believers because we are righteous by definition. We have a righteousness from God apart from the law that comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe (Romans 3:21-22 ). The examples of unrighteousness Paul gave all have to do with behavior, whereas our righteousness comes from our belief.

Where behavior is concerned, Jesus said it doesn’t take unrighteous acts to disqualify us from the Kingdom, it only takes an unrighteous thought. He gave anger (Matt. 5:21-22 ) and lust (Matt. 5:27-28 ) as examples but He could have listed many more, like greed, envy, jealousy, and the list goes on. How many of us have unrighteous thoughts from time to time? Does that mean we’ve disqualified ourselves from inheriting the kingdom? Of course not.

But the real kicker in in verse 11. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Paul said some of us were fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, homosexuals, sodomites, thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, or extortioners. And from the Lord’s comments above we can assume that includes thoughts and words, as well as deeds. But note the past tense. We were like that. What has changed to make us not like that any more?

First, we have been washed. We haven’t washed ourselves, we’ve been washed. In Ephesians 5:26 Paul said it’s the Lord who washed us, cleansing us by washing us with water through the word.

Then, we were sanctified. It means to be made holy. Again, we didn’t sanctify ourselves, it was done to us. When Jesus washed us it was so He could present us to Himself as a radiant Church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless (Ephes 5:27 ), sanctified.

And finally, we were justified. It means to render righteous. The Greek word for justified is the opposite form of the word translated unrighteous in verse 9. This refers to the righteousness that has been imputed to us by faith. And like we didn’t do the washing and the sanctifying, we didn’t render ourselves righteous, either. It was done to us, in the name of Jesus, by the Spirit of God.

When that happened we became a new creation in Christ. From God’s perspective, the old us was gone and the new us had come (2 Cor. 5:17 ). And though we still sin, He no longer attributes our sins to us, but to the sin that still lives within us. He knows our sin infested bodies will never leave this world. They will either die or be changed at the rapture, so when we come into His presence we’ll be the new creation He has chosen to see from the moment we were saved.
Paul used himself as an example of how God now sees us.

For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it (Romans 7:18-20 ).

David gave us a glimpse of this 1,000 years before Paul when he wrote;

Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit (Psalm 32:1-2 ), and

As far as the East is from the West, so far has He removed our transgressions from us (Psalm 103:12 ).

This explains how God can “render us righteous” while we’re still sinners. He separated the believer from the behavior, making the believer a new creation, holy and blameless, and attributing behavior that is not consistent with His new creation to the sin that still dwells within us. He knows the cause of our sinful behavior resides in the mortal part of us that will die or be changed. Our faith in what Jesus did for us allows Him to consider only the immortal part of us, which He will soon clothe in perfection. This is the only way He could guarantee our salvation from the time we became believers, because if it depended upon our behavior we would all have been lost again shortly after we were saved.

A License To Sin?

This interpretation of Scripture has been called “giving people a license to sin” by some. They love to cite hypothetical examples of worst case scenarios that frankly never happen. For example, I had one person warn me that if my interpretation ever became accepted by the majority of believers then, in his words, “Let the rape and pillage begin,” as if to say that unless Christians are held in check by the constant fear of losing their salvation there would be no end to the evil acts we would commit.

But those who make predictions of this sort overlook three important facts. The first is, by and large even unbelievers are reasonably well behaved, and they don’t have the fear of losing their salvation to restrain them. Romans 2:14 says those who don’t know God’s law, do by nature the things required by it, because it’s written on our hearts, and our own conscience acts as a guiding influence on our behavior.

The second is the indwelling Holy Spirit, sealed inside us when we were saved, to convict us of our sins, guide us into all truth, and counsel us on appropriate behavior. Remember, Paul said it’s God who makes us stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set His seal of ownership on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a deposit guaranteeing what is to come (2 Cor. 1:21-22 ).

And the third is our gratitude. The great majority of those who believe we’re saved by grace through faith alone are so grateful for such an amazing gift that we try not to behave in ways that would embarrass the Lord in an attempt to express our gratitude. Paul called it “living up to what we’ve already attained” (Phil. 3:16 ).

Where Are You From ?

It’s easy for us to lose sight of where we came from, so Paul reminded us in Ephesians 2. He began by saying that at one time we were dead in our transgressions and sins, by nature objects of wrath (Ephes. 2:1-3 ).

But because of His great love for us God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved (Ephes. 2:4-5 ).

Our relationship with the Lord is not due to the fact that one day we decided to clean ourselves up and make ourselves fit to be in His presence. In Ephes. 2: 8-9 he said we are saved by grace through faith, and not by works. God accepted us just as we are because of His mercy, and saved us because of His grace. Our only contribution was to ask in faith. And then, before we had done anything, good or bad, He sent His Holy Spirit to dwell within us as a deposit, guaranteeing our inheritance (Ephes. 1:13-14 ).

We can’t claim our faith in God’s mercy and grace as the sole basis for our salvation and then demand that others meet certain behavioral standards in order to receive or maintain theirs. The fact that one person commits sins that are more obvious than others is irrelevant. Sin is sin, and we all do it.
He didn’t save us because we behave a certain way. He saved us because we believe a certain thing.

In A Nutshell

If you’re a human being, you’re a sinner. If you’re a saved human being, your faith in what Jesus did for you has allowed God to attribute your ongoing sinfulness to the sin that still lives within you. From His perspective it’s not you doing the sinning, but the sin that still lives within you. One day soon, you will shed that sinful part of yourself forever, and you will be clothed in perfection in preparation for your eternal life with the Lord. You will have finally been conformed to His image, just as God has always intended for you to be (Romans 8:29-30 )

2 Corinthians 10:5
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Have you ever felt condemned because of the bad thoughts you have had? You could be in the middle of a prayer meeting when suddenly a dirty thought enters your mind. Actually, it is the devil who puts such thoughts in your mind. Then, he steps back, looks at you and knocks you on your head, saying, “How can you call yourself a Christian and still think such thoughts?”

I used to be in bondage over the bad thoughts I had because I felt that I had to confess every one of them and seek God’s forgiveness. But that is not what God’s Word exhorts us to do. You see, God wants us to bring “every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ”. Now, whose obedience are we to focus on? Christ’s obedience and not our own obedience!

But what is “the obedience of Christ”? It is His obedience at the cross, where “by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous”. (Romans 5:19) Jesus shed His blood for us at the cross. This means that when our thoughts condemn us, we are to focus our thoughts on Jesus’ obedience at the cross.

My friend, the devil can only make inroads into our minds when he gets us to focus on our obedience instead of
Christ’s obedience. His strategy is to point us to our obedience or the lack of it to determine our standing before God. But just as our position as sinners is not based on what we do, but what the first Adam did, in the same way, we are forever righteous today not because of what we do, but because of what Christ, the last Adam, did on the cross.

So the next time your thoughts seem to condemn you, say, “I am righteous whether I have good or bad thoughts. My righteousness has nothing to do with my obedience. Jesus’ obedience at the cross made me righteous.” Then, go ahead and pray, knowing that you have access to God and His favor, and that He hears the prayer of the righteous. (Proverbs 15:29)
