“KONJI” What’s It All About? READ! READ!! READ!!!

Ever heard the saying ‘Konji is a bastard’ now before we start rolling our eyes and forming spiritual, let’s get one thing straight; I am also born again, spirit filled self. But enough of behaving as if it doesn’t happen to us, let’s get real, after all the bible says in 1st John 1 :8, that if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. For those that don’t even know what Konji is, let me try and explain. Konji is a slang used especially among young people to describe a state of being horny or actively lustful, that is seeking sexual gratification.

A few things we should know about Konji is that:

1) It is no respecter of persons, position, title, degrees. (I think that is why it is called a bastard)

2) It is a SIN. Matthew 5:28- don’t look at a woman lustfully. For girls imagining how good the brother might be in bed, repent before it is too late.

3) The fact that it happens to us all does not stop it from being wrong. 1st Corinthians 6:12 (tm) says ‘just because something is technically legal, doesn’t mean that it is spiritually appropriate’.

4) It is an expression of what is in our hearts.
How to deal with Konji
I am no expert, but I have a few tips that I think might work.

1) Guard your heart like a ninja: Stop planting and watering sexual seeds in your life and expecting them not to yield fruit. Watching pornography, gisting about hot girls and cute guys and reading romance novels are not helping matters. Ever tried doing quiet time, and the scene from the movie you watched the previous night where those people were touching refuses to leave you mind? (God catch you!). Proverbs 4:23

2) Have the word of God in your heart: psalm 119:11. Galatians 5:16-18.

3) Flee every form of evil: 1st Tess 5:22. If a babe is walking in front of you with tiny skirt, or wearing a top that is showing the overflow of physical gifts in her life, or if a guy is running his hand through your hair, and it is exciting you, stop forming cool, run away, or better still as the angel put it to Lot in Genesis 19:17, ‘escape for thy life’.

4) Pray about it: there is no part of your life that God doesn’t care about: He created you, so He knows how you are feeling. Stop forming holy for God, you can never be holier than Him. So if you are feeling horny, tell him to teach you how to deal with it, and to cleanse your mind, after all, it is Him who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Phil 2:13.

5) Now, my dear sisters lets help our brothers: It is not until you wear spaghetti and bum shorts that you are indecent. You know that dress you wear that doesn’t allow them concentrate. Maybe you should sow it into a smaller person’s life.

6) For those that are in relationships: we should be extra careful, stop spending unprotected time alone with him. Some clowns even say they want to spend the night with the brother, and ‘nothing is going to happen, he’ll keep to his side of the bed. {I laugh in soprano}. Please let’s stop setting traps for ourselves

7) Get married: To those that have already yielded to the temptation of Konji at one point or the other, it’s not too late. 1st john 1:9 says, if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Seeking counseling is also a good idea.
To those that are judging and gossiping about those in sexual sins, your hell is not any cooler than theirs if you don’t repent. Let’s help each other; one person’s downfall affects us all.
As young ambassador of Christ, we ought to be examples, 1st timothy 4:12. That means we even have to be more careful, and the stakes are higher for us, 1st Corinthians 9:27. But I am not worried, because I know we have a father that is able to keep us from stumbling,
