Report Article
A slave was set free and brought to live in a Mansion. She had grown to become beautiful and clean, with many accessories at her disposal, most of which she was still learning to make use of. There was so much she could become and do even though she looked very different and much more elegant than she was before she was brought in. There was a portrait of her that was being looked on to mold and adorn her and it was a beautiful portrait. Apparently, there was going to be a wedding and a match had already been made. She had not only been removed from her slave master but engaged to her deliverer.
However, there were a few problems, the appointed time for the ceremony was set but preparations were delaying because she kept entertaining the wrong visitors both invited and uninvited. For some weird reason, she craved for some of the things she had and did when she was with the slave master. And when he realised this, he would come around the mansion presenting her with all the things she desired. And before anyone was aware, she would open the door of the mansion and let him in. But little did she know hat every time she let him in, he stole something that had been given to adorn her. And when that door was opened, she never was really able to shut it. The slave master always had an easy access to the building because when he left, he made sure he left her with something to which he would often come to claim.
Even when she didn’t desire anything from the slave master, in an effort to get prepared for her Groom, he still had access. This was because every time she refused to accept some beauty treatment from her helper because she saw them as unpleasant and begun to complain, she unknowingly opened the door wider for the slave master or even gave him access into other rooms in the mansion where he didn’t have previous access. As this continued for some time, she would often put out her Helper and not open the door to allow Him in, because she was gradually being deafened to His knocks.
She was beginning to lose her mind when she realised her beauty was fading away. Ornaments of peace, joy, love, kindness, self control, worship and many more had been stripped away from her. And she was clueless as to what to do especially since she was hardly in contact with her Helper. The day was approaching quite quickly, and she wasn’t ready. It had even eluded her for a while before she realised it. There she was, drowning in sorrow and fear as the slave master kept drumming into her ears that her Groom no longer loved her. But before she could completely loose it, there came the Helper reminding her of the words she was told when she got there but never really understood.
Christian, the Helper said, you were removed from your slave master and placed in this mansion, so you would be free from him and enjoy the life that your Groom has purchase at an expensive price for you. He chose to put you in His very abode because if you were placed anywhere else, the slave master would have easy access to you. In this mansion, all he can do is to parade around with no power or ability to get in. He can only get in if you give him access.
Christian was certainly dismayed that she had actually given the slave master access after his mean treatments and wondered how that happened. I need to pay particular attention, she thought.
Then the Helper said to her, you can avoid all the misery if you just learn to keep the doors shut. I know it can be a bit difficult since you keep seeing people around and hearing people knock and call out to you to have you open the door. I do call out to you myself when I need you to open the door to certain parts of the mansion so that I can come in an mold you into your Groom’s desire. This means you would have to know my voice and everything you need to know about my voice is in the big brown book I handed to you when you first came in, but you refuse to read it. When you know my voice, you will be able to recognise it even when it seems faint. Quit looking out of the window and craving for things in your past and the neighbourhood which you know are not good for you and unpleasing to your Lord.
The cravings and the temptations which are the knocks of the defeated slave master will cause you to open the door to him and you know by now that he comes to steal. Know that he is going to knock with lies, lustful desires and your lack of faith in your Groom will lead you to open the door for him. Before you were found, you had nothing because he offered you nothing, now you have so much, and he wants to take them away from you. Remember he won’t be able to do that if you keep the door shut to him. Everything you need to know is in the Book. I will knock with gentleness, love and truth so watch out for my knocks. They may not always be what you desire at the moment but know that I have only your best interest at heart just as your Groom does. That is the only reason why I am here. To make sure that you know you are loved and feel loved. You have probably not realised it yet, but I really do love you.
As the helper said these words, the slave master stood at the window watching and listening. Obviously, he wasn’t happy that the truth was being told to Christian, so he left but he was determined to come back at another time. This time, the helper was hopeful that as difficult as it may seem Christian was going to send him off. She had promised to call on Him when she needed help and He had promised to be there right on time.
