5 Biblical principles of fighting addiction

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. (James 1:13-15)

Every now and then we are faced with addictions that take over our whole Well being from the physical to the psychological health. Many at times we are enslaved by these addictions that we try by all means to get away from the shackles that held us bound.

Addiction is one of the ways man is enslaved by his own actions. I am talking about this because I have been there before and this is how God helped me overcome my addictions.

1. Expose your addictions to the light of the truth (1Thes 5:5-7)

The greatest power of sin is manifested in ignorance. The reason why light and darkness can never coexist is because light exposes the things done in the dark. Look for someone to be accountable to.

2. Identify your triggers: (James 1:14)

The greatest stupidity of all time is displayed in ignorance. Before you can fight an addiction, locate and identify what triggers it. Before one engages in an act, some predisposing factors must come into play. Try as much as possible to avoid your triggers.

3 Train your body: (1 Cor 9:27)

The human body is a child who is always in need of directions. Your body responds to How you train it. Addictions are habits built over time and they can be broken with time. Everything may be permissible by the body not everything is Good for the body.

4. Seek help

Seek both spiritual and psychological counsel. You started the addiction alone but you may not be able to come out of it alone. Ask God for the needed strength to carry on.

5. Say No for your slavery (Titus 2:12)

Saying No goes beyond saying no, you need to act it. Self control is not self controlled, you need help to be self controlled.

Man was created free with a free willpower but his corrupted mind has made him a captive of his own thoughts. Be free from your addictions and get your life back. There is Nothing that reduces the quality of life like addictions.

Remember, Jesus loves you.
