THE ‘ENTER’ BUTTON

My quest for knowledge and attaining same gave me an edge amongst my peers; I mean I would read every detail about every subject that there was to read.
This quest transcended into my knowledge for God and I satisfied my quest by constant communion with Him, reading His manual and praying earnestly. I was always satisfied each day in His presence.

I gained admission into the higher institution to study my dream course, Medicine. My joy knew no bounds. I ran into His presence and gave him all of my love and adoration. I promised him that I would cherish our cordial relationship always and that the rigorous demands of my course of study would not come in the way of our relationship.
Of course, it was obvious in my first year that I was a genius as I had a distinction. On and on, I excelled throughout my stay at school and I graduated as the best student in the school of medicine. My utmost joy was that the Lord and I were in constant communion. I was with him everywhere I went and whatever I did.
Securing a place of internship was never a problem; the University offered me a place in the State Teaching hospital. The expectations in the hospital were high as they believed I had such deep knowledge about medicine. I did not disappoint as I carried out my duties diligently, the Lord was always by my side.

There were other young doctors there too and we usually had this circle where we discussed medical issues and practical life issues affecting humans. Amongst the six of us, Dayo was always so raw and plain. He would talk about his sexual escapades; he would add that these experiences increased his knowledge about the human body (male and female). Dayo would not even spare the tiniest detail about his deeds.

On one occasion, Dayo turned to me and said, “You have to learn to loosen yourself, not every knowledge is gotten by books, you have got to learn new ways of expanding your knowledge bank”. How do you mean? I asked. There’s this website that would give you a deeper insight about the way the human body works. It would help you to be better in giving your patients better medical attention. What kind of website was it that this guy was talking about? I wondered.

It was a Thursday and I didn’t have so much to do as it was my off-day. I decided to check out some stuff on the internet. I remembered the website that Dayo gave me to check and I proceeded to check it out but I felt a huge restraint. As I typed, I felt that familiar nudge in my spirit not to go further. However, my very inquisitive being wanted to know what this website contained. I had typed the details of the site but all that remained was to click the ENTER button.

I could hear His voice in my spirit saying, “All things are lawful but not all things are expedient”. I stood up, went straight for my bible and opened to the book of First Corinthians Chapter Ten Verse Twenty-Three(Amplified Version)…

“All things are legitimate [permissible – and we are free to do anything we please], but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome). All things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive (to character) and edifying [to spiritual life]”.

I knew He was telling me not to click that button and I am glad I obeyed. I went to the Lord in prayers and I thanked Him for His guidance and for talking to me. I thanked Him for restraining me.
            ..................................
The other guys in the hospital were already trapped by the website that Dayo introduced. They could no longer focus as they had been snared by the web of pornography, distorted sexual patterns, insatiable desire for sex. Stephen and Tade had licenses withdrawn on accounts of rape of patients and attempted rape cases. They could not escape the full course of the law too.
           .....................................

The life of a true Christian is a life of restraints. The life you live is that of Christ. If for any reason, you find that you now do as you please and His word does not keep you in check; and you don’t listen to the Spirit’s counsel, you are in a deep mess. You live a life of clicking every ENTER button, You ENTER just any relationship, business, discussion, marriage,decision,……….

The book of Galatians Chapter Two Verse Twenty says,

“I have been crucified with Christ[in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; It is no longer I who live but Christ(The Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in(by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up for me”.
