Written By Peace Itimi
He is walking like one who cannot see
In his heart he knows he's in a prison
He desperately longs to be set free
But he's still bound and needs a reason
There was a time when
he was truly lost
When he had not encountered the touch of the cross
Now that christ has paid all the cost
But still held bound to those Addictions that keep him at loss
Quite a number of years
since he got saved
But still bound to those dirty habits
Everytime he does them, he's amazed
It's like he can never stop dancing to the devils drum beats.
He's an addict, To
Drugs, Masturbation, Sex, porn, Stealing, Lying, Alcohol and weed.
Everyday he wished he never had it
He's pained that he's bringing the Lord's name to scorn
Everytime he seems to
fall to it
There's a tender voice of Love within
Ignorance would have made him to quit
But this tender voice kept him locked in
He opens his browser to
download a message
And pop pop came a pop on
He's tempted again by guile of this age
And his out gave away to Porn
I've failed, I've failed
again he cries
Why can't I rise above this fog
Ignorance of victory expressed in his eyes
Kept him in the devil's fake clog
Drugs, Drinks and Weed
First, Porn next, masturbation and then sex.
He bound to this vicious cycle
it's like he's a victim of the devil's hex
So bad he can hardly pick up his Bible
Everyday by self will
and strength he tries to stop
But the more he tried, the more he failed
His natural strength takes him half the top
And halfway on him it bailed.
But now he knows it
takes more than him
To stop him from being an addict
There must be someone stronger than a team
To help him erase these dirty habits
Just this desire to
know
Unlocked the power of Love within
That tender voice of love began to grow
To melt the weight of sin
Love is abstract, love
seems far
But his love began to evolve into a person
He began to glow within him like a shinning star
And unleashed on him a supernatural blessing
He was endowed with the
blessing to soar
Above the habits and addiction
Habits that were near now seemed far
And they kept drifting and leaving his direction
All he could now see
was the person alone
In his awe, his beauty and Grace
Now he's Free and No longer like a clone
As he steadily looks upon his face
All of a sudden
something supernatural happens
It's called a transformation
All images of himself suddenly darkens
He's now a new creation
He never saw himself
again
All he saw was Jesus Christ alone
Never before had he seen his face this plain
And all the while he thought he'd grown
He now begins to learn
of Him
And those habits are no longer a question
They just melted out like the sun melts a cream
His life is now in a new direction
At this point people
may still not rate him perfect but he's not moved by what people say
He cannot be cajoled to join any sect
Because he's certain he's in the righteous way
There are now things he
just can't do without
Like giving, like praying, like loving and worshiping
He's subsumed by these things from the depth of his heart
The rise of a new addict is just beginning
The addict remains the
addict
Just that the object of Focus has changed
Formerly an addict of things that weren't worth it
Now an addict to christ till the end.
It's doesn't matter
what you are addicted to, Jesus can give you new and worthy habits and likes.
It doesn't matter what thing you are struggling with, Jesus can take a way the
burden.
It doesn't matter what makes you awake when everyone else is sleeping, Jesus
can give you rest and peace.
All you have to do is
ALLOW Him Work in you and transform you steadily.
He's the only one capable and strong enough to get you out of it.
SURRENDER YOUR WILL AND
ALLOW HIM DO HIS THING.
