STEEMCHURCH: ADDICTION.
Hello friends, how are we doing today.I welcome everyone. welcome to my blog today. Today, I shall be discussing on the topic titled ADDICTION...
What really is Addiction?
I dont know what oxford dictionary defines addiction as but For me personally I will define it as something you cannot do without and you feel empty or incomplete without it for a long period of time.
Addiction is one thing that 70-80 percent of people face.... When we say addiction the next that goes to the mind of many of us is pornography, masturbation and drugs
But many of us are addicted to something's and we dont seem conscious about it. There are so many things we can get addicted to...
Let's pray.
Father we say we love you. We say thank you for life, for health and for everything you do for us. We are grateful for what you will still do. Blessed be your holy name Jesus. We ask that you teach us this day and bless our understanding with light. In Jesus Name, Amen.
So, today, like I said earlier, we would be talking about addiction.
Well, a lot of us have heard or have been taught about addiction. For some time now, its been a topic everywhere.
Addiction is the result of an extremity. You know how they say doing things moderately is the best?
So, addiction is as a result of going extreme in the carrying out of an action.
Another thing to note is persistence. When you carry out an action extremely consistent irrespective. It would be a good addiction if you are addicted to praising God or addicted to studying your bible.
Now let's see it this way.
So, you start with an action , let's say you ate cheese balls. Then you realise that "hmmmmmn this cheese balls is nice" Then you buy it next day and day after.

Before you know it you buy it everyday of the week and before you know it, even when you are puking full, you still eat cheese balls.
Now it switched from reasonable to unreasonable. First thing is that you were aware. And the habit was consciously imbibed. The thing is that you were either too excited to stop or too lazy to stop. I used cheese balls cos of most of, even as Christians, we quickly think of big things when something is mentioned.
When we say thank God, it has to be an accident, when we say sickness it has to be cancer, typhoid etc. Whereas that malaria you snub can harm you too.
When we say addiction we think masturbation and pornography. But what about the fact that you cannot do without gossiping, you even influence your environment with it. What about addicted to making noise with your nose and throat. What about addicted to lying. You just do it without stress. what about addiction to selfishness. What about addiction to ease, such that anything with stress is off for you. Or it must all come with ease.
What's that thing that you do frequently, which you just do by default. Those things that whether the results are good or bad, you just go for it.
Think about this things.
One thing about life is that a conscious life is the best life. Don't live your life unconsciously. So start by pointing out those things that you do frequently which of course should not be so always. Outline them and consciously, gradually refrain from doing them.
Well it sounds simple but then, it's not simple. Just as you are committed to the addiction, be committed to not doing it anymore. Be committed to stop drinking coffee whether by hook or crook. Be committed to not cursing and using cuss word Deliberately.
Also, get distracted from these things and switch to something else that is good. The bible says what so ever is good, whatsoever is holy..., think on these things
Then, the utmost/greatest of all is that we should tell God about it. We remember to tell God about result but we think it's unnecessary to talk to God about the little little things.
I am the Lord of all flesh, is anything to hard for me? So why fret.
Ask and you shall receive.
The veil obstructing us from God was torn by the death of Jesus. If anyone of you lack wisdom, ask of me
God loves the world so much.
These and lots more are enough reasons why you shouldn't refrain from telling God about anything. Tell God about your health, addiction, anything and everything. Tell God about everything, he isn't complaining and nothing about you is trivial to him. You and everything about you are important him.
You want to stop gossiping, tell God
You want to stop stealing, tell God
Don't be ashamed, he listen. Its so sweet to tell God everything.
Funny enough, God knows and sees these things already. He just wants you to add him to your life.
A song says if I tell God about my problem, he'll work it out for me
He listens and he takes note.
Finally friends, addiction is an act born out of persistent consciousness and can only be won from persistent consciousness.
They always say a problem shared with someone is half solved but a problem you share with God is totally solved. Therefore we should learn not to keep our addictions to ourselves, learn to share it with God who is the Almighty problem solver...... Glory to God.
Remember to always tell it to God, whatever it is tell it to God....
