A Public confession of a very private, and rather embarrassing sin- just to settle a clean conscience before my gracious & forgiving God the Lord. Warning: ‘....... “Not everyone can accept this work.......’ (Matthew 19:11) & ‘.....This is a hard teaching. Who can accept....’ (John 6:60) This could have been the ‘First’ sin that led to my 18 years or so of discipline from the Lord. It’s is like the sin of making dirty ‘holy water’- f or what I did, I had done with a guilty conscience and doubted; ‘ But whoever has doubts is condemned ..................; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.’ ( Romans 14:23) This was what happened:- There was a time when I was still in University in America, before I had ever dated anyone. Back then I was addicted to masturbation- no matter how hard I tried, how guilty I felt in front of the Lord, I can’t stop. Then come my baptism. Before I went to church, I did it again and got no time to shower. So I went into the baptismal water with all that filth, polluting the baptismal water- more importantly I did so with a guilty conscience. Truth is, the baptism of water and blood and the Holy Spirit cleansed us of all filth and sins- and everyone of us, before we go into the baptism is filthy. But, I didn’t have such faith then, and doubted, therefore I have sinned. Now, I know that, the baptism that I went into, cleanse me of all filth and uncleanness. Now, I know that, by my own power and effort, I can never stopped myself from sinning. Now, I know that, masturbating in itself may not necessary be sin- if done within the right context. So praise the Lord God our heavenly in and through Jesus Christ for His forgiveness of all my sins and His Amazing grace.
