The war between lust and need

The war between need and lust (1)

A messenger came to me on a rainy morning by the way of a dream and said “lay not your head on your folded arms while you sleep, it restricts your blood flow and makes your hand cramp and weak. I have need of your hands, I know your reasons, life has been hard to you for you are prepared to lie on bare ground and even dry leaf might desert you so your hands have become your cushion. But now you have a pillow, lay your head on it and learn to enjoy the softness for the high judge have ruled in your favor. And when you throw a blow

with the power of God behind you blood gushes from the face of your opponent and sprinkles on his supporters so you know them and his corner scrambles for fear that they might receive such a blow.

The story of need and lust is like two brothers who journeyed to a strange land. Need came first and used his straw to prepare little homes for his stay and used his pennies to gather food then used his speech to make a way for lust.

Then lust cometh after with much welcome and found rest in the house of need, enough food in his cupboards to eat and a scholarship for his schooling.

And after a while need’s straw house began to fall for he built to be temporary and he searched for concrete but

could not find it. But after lust have been kept safe by the shelter of need’s roof he moved on and found

concrete and then made a proclamation saying “let those

made of straw live in straw houses and let those made of

concrete live

in mansions.

And the people in the far away land heard the cry and said

Lust is blessed because he is illustrious and need is cursed because he is not of God.

yes need and lust are like two sons of a righteous father who provided them with everything to succeed and when they became of

age need said let’s work together so when things are hard we would lessen the sting and when things are good we will both share in the blessings. And need carried the

burden in the low time and was bruised by it. But when the high time

came

Lust said “my dollar is for my future and my house is for my family which I must make, for you have brought yourself to ruins for which I am not responsible, go take care of yourself.”

Lust will always fight need because need comes first, but lust does not exist without need. For the father wants man to have good

characteristics which satisfy our spiritual needs but he also wants us to enjoy the riches of the

earth.

But needs are the essentials God gave us for good life on earth, air, water and food; respect, honesty, and wisdom but the excessive desire of lust stifles respect, honesty, and

wisdom and pollutes air, food and

water.

THE WAR BETWEEN NEED AND LUST (2)

OH WOMEN DO NOT BE OFFENDED WHEN THE MEN ON THE STREETS CAST THEIR EYES ON YOU

FOR SUCH HAVE BEEN THE NATURE OF MAN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME.

FOR JUST AS GOD ARRAYED THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS OF EARTH’S GARDEN TO ATTRACT THE BIRDS, THE BEES, AND THE INSECTS

SO TOHE DESIGNED THE BODY OF THE WOMEN TO ATTRACT AND CAPTURE THE

IMAGINATION OF THE MAN. IN INDIGENOUS SOCIETIES THE PEOPLE ARE SPIRITUAL SO THE BODY IS SACRED AND RESPECTED, SO NAKEDNESS IS NOT A PROBLEM

BUT IN MATERIALISTIC

SOCIETIES THE BODY IS VIOLATED SO NAKEDNESS BECOMES SACRED FOR THE BODY TO BE SACRED FOR MATERIALISM BREEDS LUST. BUT GOD HAS DESIGNED THE EARTH SO THE RIGHTEOUS COULD FIND WISDOM IN A MATERIALISTIC WORLD.

IN MY FATHER’S GARDEN ONE PLANT TEACHES MORE AND RICHER LESSONS THAN A UNIVERSITY OF GREAT

REPUTATION.

FOR JUST AS THE BEES AND INSECTS ARE ATTRACTED TO DIFFERENT FLOWERS,

AND THE BIRDS BY THE

TEXTURE AND COLORING OF THE SKIN OF THE FRUIT, KNOW WHICH ONE IS RIPE,

AND THE ANIMALS BY THE SCENT OF THE HERBS KNOW WHICH ONE IS A MEDICINE FOR THEIR USE.

SO TO DOES A MAN BY THE DRESS OF A WOMAN

APPROACHES HER,

FOR A MAN IS ATTRACTED FOR to WHAT IS SHOWN, AND FALLS IN LOVE WITH WHAT IS OFFERED A PRINCESS DRESSED AS A WHORE IS APPROACHED AS A WHORE IN THE MARKET PLACE, AND A WHORE DRESSED AS A PRINCESS WOULD BE

APPROACHED AS A PRINCESS, BUT THE WHORE WILL BE

LOVED FOR HER SEX AND THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN FOR HER VIRTUES.

SO NAKEDNESS ATTRACTS LUST AND PROPER DRESSING

ATTRACTS RESPECT.

BUT THESE ARE THE DAYS WHEN YOUNG WOMEN ADVERTISE THEIR BODIES TO DRAW THE MEN LIKE MAGNET DRAWS SHAVINGS OF STEEL,

AND THE MEN WITH THE MONEY TO MATCH ARE THE ONES THEY CHOOSE.

IN THE CITY OF LUST, IMMORALITY SPREADS LIKE WILD FIRE, FUELED BY GREED, ENVY, JEALOUSY, RESTLESSNESS, IGNORANCE AND FALSE PRIDE. THE MINEFIELDS OF GANGS EXPLODES AS THE WINDS OF THE MEDIA BLOWS THE SOUNDS OF DEATH, DESTRUCTION AND DEGRADATION ACROSS THE

LAND.

THE LEADERS OF THIS CITY HAVE GIVEN THEM A

PHILOSOPHER CALLED

DESPERATION TO GUIDE THEM. HIS LECTURES HAVE LEFT THE MASSES IN DISARRAY AND CHARACTER HAVE BECOME AN UNDEREMPLOYED PEASANT SEEKING REFUGE IN CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, AND GOVERNMENT OFFICES, BUT ALL ABUSE HIM.

FOR THE KING OF LUST WAGES A SEVERE WAR AGAINST HIS ENEMIES.

SO THERE ARE HIGH BOUNTIES PLACED ON THE HEADS OF HONESTY, SIMPLICITY, CONTENTMENT, HUMILITY, FORTHRIGHTNESS, COMPASSION AND JUSTICE.

NOW CORRUPTION SITS IN THE RULING CHAIR,

VAIN EXPENDITURE IS HIS WIFE,

INSECURITY HIS LAW

ENFORCER,

GREED IS THE RULER OF THE

ARMY,

AND IGNORANCE HIS FOOT

SOLDIERS,

DECEIT IS HIS PREACHER AND HIS CHOIR IS VIOLENCE,

AND TOGETHER THEY WORSHIP BEHIND THE GATES OF

DESTRUCTION, WITH THE FALSE PROPHET CALLED ILLUSION.
