ADDICTION

93/300

Hi love, how are you? How was the last week for you? Welcome aboard, I hope you find hope, happiness and peace here.

At some point in my life, I was very addicted to a particular thing and I can boldly say that it affected my life negatively. Before I go deeper, I’d like to give meaning to the word ADDICTION

To me addiction is a strong and harmful need to keep doing an activity, making it hard to stop.

A large number of us would understand what addiction means and the compelling power it has on our mind. Most times you don’t even want to engage the activity but you find yourself doing it.

Apostle Paul spoke about something around this in the book of Romans

“For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled and bewildered by them]. I do not practice what I want to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.”

— Romans 7:15 (AMP)

He then went further to say in verse 19 that

“For the good that I want to do, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.”

— Romans 7:19 (AMP)

I do not believe that addiction can be good or bad. I think that when you have an obsessive need to do something that not doing it makes you misbehave, it is a very bad concept.

Now that we have established what addiction means, let me move to the subject matter of today which I believe would change your life.

I have come to realize that people who suffer from addiction find it very easy to make excuses for their actions and they find it very easy to do. You can never find an addicted person struggle to do the things they are addicted to.

Take for example, smokers do not struggle to smoke. Most of them have already attained a high level of perfection that they do it like they were born doing it. Take people who are addicted to eating for example, they can eat anything in as much as it is food.

I said all of those to say this;

Addiction is a proof that you are capable of intense devotion, you just have a false god.

Anyone who can be addicted to anything can serve/worship God intensely because addiction takes a lot of you and a lot from you. If you are ever willing to give in to that masturbation, you should also be able to study the word for hours.

Note that this isn’t in anyway saying masturbation or other evil vices are good, it is me just letting you understand that if you can be controlled by mere acts, you should be able to allow yourself submit to the control of the worship of God.

Until tomorrow, bye.
