My participation in the Steem Inspiration Contest | FREEDOM AT LAST @UDGOSPEL 29/04/2021
Hello steemworld I here by participate in the contests of steem inspiration@udgospel
Alright I was born and brought up from "udeh's" family being my surname and I began my life when I started knowing something .
I was born in the village and I grew up there ...as at the age of 8years I left home to Port Harcourt where I continued my education and I finished my secondary School and then took my jamb and left continued my education in a school called Abia state polytechnic aba
But back then in porthercourt I met a friend who was struggling with 3things which I mentioned below
Masturbation
Sexual imorality
Smoking
As at then i was able to stop him from smoking and how did I do that
How I stopt him from smoking is that I had to first of all put fear in him of the damages his causing to himself and i also browsed about it and how it affects human body system .
I kept on confronting him cause he was my good friend and he kept on listening.
One thing i did was.
Anytime he coughs around me I will tell him yes that this is the effect of the cigarette his smoking that it is affecting his kidney and that of his chest ..i do tell him that soon he will die and when he does his parents will start suffering because he was the only child left his other sister is late she died in a motor accident when she was crossing the road..
So finally he started telling me to tell him what it damages in human body and he began to cry and told me that very soon he will have heart problem that anytime he coughs his heart pains him so he stopt moking totally and that's how I overcame this one
Masturbation
Masturbation is one thing i hated right from the day i cought my friend masturbating in the bathroom at evening time when i was going to visit him and no one was around ..
I started by telling that if he continues he can't give bath in future time and that very soon he will not be able to urinate again.
The only thing i did was to put fear in him and I preached to him because I was a devoted christain and a worker ..so I preached for him and believing he will change but he wasn't changing but I kept on praying for him till one day I left for school and after one-day i was in church after Sunday service he called and said for like a month he has not done it or any maturation and he said before he can't stay a day without masturbating but sunddenly he has stayed one month without masturbation ..he said that he has never masturbated again .. Glory to God.
Sexual imorality
What Is Sexual Immorality? Discover Its Meaning and Consequences
Sexual immorality means neglecting and defying God's law of sexual relations. Learn the practical and spiritual consequences of becoming a slave to your passions when succumbed to the temptation of sexual imorality
I did all things here in preaching and always praying for him because talking alone cant prevent it I had to pray for him and I made him to understand that sex before time is a sin to his own body and against God also...I forced him to church and thank God my pastor sported him and prayed for him since that day the zeal for sex ended and that is how i did my own converting and saving him and his soul ...this is the life challenge I have solved so far
It was the kind of friend he followed that changed him so please I advice everyone reading this post to please mind the kind of friends you follow
Thank you all for reading my post and also learning from this ....and to me is a learning also God bless us all ..
