A story was
told of an intra-venous drug user. He was out somewhere and had no solution to
dilute his heroin for an intravenous injection, so he took some water from a
pond to prepare a heroin injection into his left arm. Two days later, he was
admitted into the medical/surgical unit for severe inflammation of the left
upper extremity. His lymph nodes were huge, and his arm was very swollen, that
it was like the trunk of a tree. He was in severe pain and the doctor that if
this infection entered into his blood, his heart would be infected and he could
die from pumps failure.
This is what
satan can do in the life of a creature of God. Have you ever wondered the
number of youths who have lost their serenity (that are mad) today. Many of
them found besides huge refuse dumps scavenging for some rotten food to eat. Some
of them are found walking the streets of towns and villages naked. This is
definitely not the plan of God for his creatures.
Hear this, “And the slave of the householder came and
said to him, “master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where then did
these weeds come from”? He answered, “An enemy has done this”. (Mathew
13:27-28). At creation, God saw everything that he made, including that boy
or girl who is insane, as good, but satan the devil came and sowed weeds into
their lives.
The young
man in our story was so scared when the doctor told him that he stood the
chance of dying and so he wanted all the nurses to be around him at all times. “As I live say the lord God, I have no
pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from their evil
ways for why would you die O’ house of Israel.” (Ezekiel 33:11). God’s love knows no boundaries. He still loved the
young man though hated his sinful life. One night the lord told one of the Christian
nurses in the hospital that the young man was afraid of death, which was why he
was calling for all the nurses all through the shift. The nurse went into the
man’s room and told him exactly what God told him. On hearing this, he (the
young man) began to cry and the nurse prayed with him to receive Jesus Christ into
his heart. The nurse then asked the lord to heal him of his infirmity through
the name of the saviour Jesus Christ and within two days, he was healed. Glory
be to God! He told the doctors that an evangelist prayed with him and he was healed.
The doctor said, “He sure did heal you”. The healing was perfect and the young
man became a perfectly new person.
Today he confesses; “My life has been fun working
for God. What a wonderful boss, He is!” God has made a drug addict a brand new
person, who now has hope and a future. “So
if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation, everything old has passed
away; see everything has become new”. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
The Holy
Spirit says to you, young man/woman, spend your life in the service of God, and
not have anything to do with the works of satan.
