It was that topic that I have yearned to listen. That topic that strikes a nerve upon the mention of its keyword, sex. Which youngster wouldn’t want to hear the word sex explained, devoured by Ernest and puffed out in definitions matching his own life experiences?
Ernest Wamboye, soft spoken with words that lure a termite queen to bask on the sun was on stage. He is the guy I say is #UnashamedofTheGospel. He is bold, dug and rooted into the word. He has the letters of the NIV plastered on his lips and those of KJV and NLV smeared on his soul.
He knew so well that just because he was gifted that doesn’t mean he is right. Through experiences of masturbation and sexual immorality, life has taught him lots. And that why he was purposed to speak to the congregation today.
To affirm that the younger generation are agile and passionate about the topics of love, sex and relationships, the auditorium was packed. Corridors were flooded with people, all grave to hear from Ernest. Barely could a fly soar amidst the narrow spaces that deprived cold off its pleasure.
Ernest, smoothly speaking says that ‘If He is not a God of all He is not God at all.’ He starts to narrate his experience with a certain girl who wanted to come to his place for a sleep over as his parents were away. The chills running his insides couldn’t let him butt the sofa up so in his Bible sessions, he poised the question to the group, a way he says he structured the question to look more of an answer affirmation.
He says that almost everyone agreed with him except this girl who came forth telling him that that was not right. Yeah, I know that feeling. I was there once. Twice. No thrice to be specific. You feel like, ‘Where the heavens did this staunch come from? One that take the word so serious.’ He says that he later married the girl.
He called the girl and called off their sleep over. Though the girl really insisted, he called it off as he was rebuked by the Holy Spirit. It is 15 minutes past midnight and he hears a knock at the door. I have been there too, there is this feeling of ecstasy that Saitan accelerates to infinite mph. It is the time you know that the branch you wanted to perch will forever remain yours and this ‘ndume’ feeling gets the best of you. The Holy Spirit in turn rebukes you and you whisper back, “Holy Spirit you know it is not my fault. You know clearly that I called her and told her not to come. This will not be my fault.”
He opens the door and his dad stands by. He was shocked and had the weird swirling voice as he greeted him. He then talks of 3M, (Kamau, not 3 million) Master, Mission and Mate. He affirms, quoting from Mark 10.45, “Don’t treat Jesus as if He was called to serve you. You were called to serve Him.”
He says we should first focus on the master which is God. We should let God take control. Everyone is intrigued of how he acts on stage as he prays to God to sort out his needs but he gets diverted to the worldly. He says of how we the youth watch ungoldly and unpleasing motion pictures. Yeah, those Hollywood movies that have nudity and non-Christian practices, he gives the examples of Game of Thrones, Being Mary Jane and Empire. He demonstrates on stage how we sideline God by telling Him we will forward the bad and explicit scenes just to watch the other scenes.
He proceedes to Mission where he says that after making God the master, He will send you for a mission. He says that if you act like a fool when you are single, you will still act like a fool when you are married. He continues to say that you should not despise your sexual urge as a Christian because the same self control you will practice now is the exact one you will practice when you get married. He says that we should accept God’s mission.
And now to the part everyone has been waiting for; Mate. He says that you should run so fast, if anyone catches up, introduce yourself. He says that Adam was the first single guy. He had realised his mate after he had known his master and his mission. He talks of how, after Adam had accomplished his mission, God fashioned him a mate. I would really love my mate to be fashioned, but have I known my master? Have I accepted my Master’s mission?
I really can’t wait for the next episode of the Love, Sex and relationships. Maybe someone will catch up and I will introduce myself.
