At first semester, paul enjoyed life, f----d 3 freshers and clubbed forgetting that he made a promise to God. Towards the end of first semester, he had a dream seeing an old man in white gown reminding him of the promises he made before he got his admission. He woke up and began to cry, he cried and realized he didn’t fulfilled his promises. The following week, he joined a fellowship of one of his numerous girlfriends. At the beginning of second semester, paul became a changed person. He stopped flirting and clubing. He joined bible study and Prayer units. He was so fervent in the service that he barely missed any of the weekly programs and activities, you would always see paul at every campus religious gatherings and events. At 200level, he was made the bible study secretary of his fellowship. He was so diligent in the stewardship that he was made the president of his Fellowship at 300level. All through this periods, paul was binding and casting out demons and doing special miraculous works. The entire campus could feel it that there was someone named paul. He graduated from school and went for his NYSC and was posted to a public secondary school in calabar, that was where trouble started Bro paul got to NYSC. He was posted to a public secondary school. he tried to keep and maintain his religious standard at all cost but temptation started befalling him. Many of the students would walk pass him flaunting their “ukwus’ and “bobby”. He was trying all his best to resist the intimate urges and temptations with the power of the holy-spirit in him and it worked. Three months after his commencement in the school, another female corper named eunice was posted to the school. Eunice was 29years old, a very beautiful and elegant lady. She was naturally pretty and endowed. Eunice was a rough girl who had flexed and enjoyed her life as a runs girl while on campus and had the determination of hooking a God fearing guy during service. Weeks after eunice commencement of her service to her fatherland at the same PPA with bro paul, they became friends. Eunice studied paul and noticed he was a God fearing man, without wasting time, she began to form holy just to gain the attention of paul, she would sing gospel song, read xtian books, she stopped using jewellery and made sure she wore moderate clothes. Bro paul was carried away by the looks and display of Christianity, he was happy that he met a dedicated xtian like him and didn’t bother to involve God into it, he followed his mind and asked eunice out. Without wasting much time, eunice gave a YES answer after 2 weeks and that started dating. As time went on, eunice couldn’t hold on to abstinence has she began to desire for sex in the relationship. He tried so many means to seduce bro paul but he kept resisting. After long weeks of resistance, bro paul finally fell for it and they have sex after 4months of the relationship. Paul began to struggle with his spiritual life. He began to hear strange voices and found it difficult to identify the voice of the holy spirit from that of the devil, one voice will say “paul! Paul! Paul!!!, leave that woman alone, she is going to destroy you!!!. Then another one will say, paul! Paul! Paul!!!, he who finds a wife has found a good thing and obtains favour from ME. Do not loose her because she will make a good wife with her cool and nice attitude!!”. He loved eunice so much because eunice seems to posses everything he wanted in a woman, the intimate intercourse was just the problem with this two lover birds. At one moment, they will pray and cry to God not to indulge in immorality again. At another moment, they are both back to the bed. “This must be the devil’s trick” bro paul thought. He decided to take a great risk that involved his life. After so many failed attempt to flee immorality, he called eunice into his room one evening, he went on his kneels and told eunice to do the same. He told her about his decision to finally quit sex until marriage, though eunice wasn’t feeling comfortable with the decision, she enjoys sex but she isn’t ready to loose paul simply because paul is a God fearing man who loves God and also cared for her, eunice believed that she can’t be maltreated by paul and believed paul will always be there to help in times of prayers and sacrifices. She pretended to be cool with the “no more sex” decision with the mindset that paul would still fall back on her laps. Paul held her hands, they both closed their eyes and paul started praying and crying for forgiveness. After 15 minutes into the prayer, bro paul made a strong vow to God on behalf of the love birds and he said, “oh lord, any day WE decided to engage in intimate again, may WE be strike with leprosy and epilepsy instantly!! AMEN”. Eunice was shocked to the extent that her heart almost burst out of her chest, she removed her hands and stood up, she refused to say Amen to it and she frowned her face and telling paul how she felt bad because she wasn’t consulted before making the leprosy vow. Paul walked to her, held her and comforted her, he made her to see reasons for his vows and promised to be there for her in everything. He made her realised that the delay in sex will hasten his urges for it and will help to fast track his marriage preparations. Eunice thought for a while, she enjoyed love making but she never wanted to loose paul due to his God fearing and cool headed attitude. She agreed with paul and they both resumed to continue the prayers ☆☆☆ Weeks after weeks, months flies, they were struggling with their intimate urges anytime they are together. They would engage in kissing and romance, but when they got to love making mood. Something will strike bro paul’s heart like thunder, reminding him of his pledge and vows, and the urges would die down immediately. When paul realises that he was only punishing himself with the romance of a thing. He decided to put and end to every romance and kisses. He decided to remain on holy hugs until they are married. Gradually, paul was getting back to his spiritual stand. He now prays regularly and also studies his bible. Eunice wasn’t getting comfortable with paul again, she isn’t getting the pleasure and emotional attention she always wished for, but she had no choice than to wait and be patient since she isn’t ready to loose paul. 3months to the end of NYSC, eunice impatient grows into maturity and she decided to seek comfort in the arms of valentine who happens to be one of her toasters who eventually became her friend. They began to get intimate within the twinkle of an eye, eunice began to find valentine interesting and lively because he would always discuss and say dirty things she wanted to hear, with time, she reduced her visitation to paul and increased her visitation to valentine, since paul was more concerned about spiritual growth and less about emotions and romance, eunice’s attention of hanging out was now on val. “I will keep paul for marriage and keep val for friendship” eunice said to herself. 2months to the end of NYSC, eunice and valentine began to have romance, but each time they were about to move on to love making, eunice was always scared of the vow she and paul made together, and she would always cry and resist. She always wanted to have fun but she wasn’t ready to suffer leprosy and epilepsy. After several resistances, val decided to get what he wanted in a hard way. He drugged eunice’s drink and eunice became weak and went unconscious. Valentine had his way and made love to eunice. When eunice became concious, she realised what valentine had done to her and she began to cry. Valentine tried to comfort her but he got a slap in return as eunice walked out in tears The next day in school, Eunice was sad and scared of relating her sins to paul. Paul also was wondering what could have went wrong with eunice because the sad look was obvious on her face. After closing for the day, Eunice followed paul to his apartment. On getting inside, eunice began to cry, paul was worried about what could have happened. He pulled eunice closer and said “whatever it is, please stop crying and tell me about it please. Eunice minimised her crying after several pleas and cuddling. She took the boldness to start a conversation. “Paul, you see, ehhhhmm, I don’t know how to say it, ehhhhm” eunice was stammering. “Pls just say it in any way you can please” paul whispered silently. ” Ehm paul. I know it is not morally and religiously right to say this, you know, we are humans, though I am religious but not up to your level, you know………..” Eunice was beating around the bush. “Eunice, please just hit the nail at the head” Paul said. ” Ehm paul, atimes, I used to have this feelings of kissing you, holding you tight, feeling your heartbeat, laying my head on your chest but………………………….” Eunice began to cry again. Paul pulled her closer, wiped her tears and looked into her eyes. “Eunice my love, don’t speak further, I knew what you wanted to say, I just don’t want to jump at it. “Really , eunice was nervous, thinking that holy spirit had revealed to paul about her lovemaking with val…….”, paul replied ” yes dear, I understand how you feel, I felt your pain. The truth is that the pain is mutual, I’m not also comfortable here. Doing all these things you said isn’t a problem to me. But my main problem is that it would give me intimate arousal and urges which will make us thirsty to have sex. And you still remembered the vow?”. Eunice nodded. “So eunice, I just felt it would be better not to perceive the aroma of the food we can’t eat. I told God to strike us with leprosy and epilepsy any moment we have intimate intercourse, and I’m not ready to face God’s wrath”. Eunice’s heart beats faster on hearing about the vows again, she became restless and asked “you mean when YOU and I having sex?” Paul replied “Yes”. She asked again, you mean “YOU and I?”, paul replied again “YES, is there any problem”?. “NO” said eunice. She hugged paul and felt relieved inside of her with the thoughts that since it wasn’t between paul and her, she was save. Paul also cuddled her and promised to be romantic in a moderate way that won’t raise any intimate urge. Eunice returned home with relieve in her heart. She switched on her phone and saw 15 apology texts from valentine. 3 days later, she forgave val and they resumed their intimate friendship, val was surprised that eunice no longer resist him again whenever its time to make love
