Sometimes when people are alone, I read that they may sometimes indulge in bad habits like picking their nose. If someone eg your husband sees you continually picking your nose in secret they could lose all respect for you.
What are bad habits?
A person may pick their nose very often. The people near you can become disgusted.
Another person may scratch their body very often and yet another person can pick their butt.
Be careful. People may be gossiping of your habit and they won’t tell you. Do you know that bad habits can make people not to hold you in high regard?
You may have a bad habit and keep trying to stop for years but you fail over and over again. Don’t give up. God word says-I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Bad habits are disgusting to those around us. It can even cause our friends, family and husband to disrespect us. And how can your husband remain in love with you if he cannot respect you?
No one who continues to do anything shameful or disgusting will enter heaven.
There can be only one person behind any bad habit-Satan. The bible says-Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Jesus resisted temptations from Satan with the word of God. The bible says in Ephesians 6:17-And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
The Sword of the Spirit which is the word of God is part of our battle armor.
We can resist Satan with the Word of God and prayer.
Satan tempts us to dirty our fingers and smell them- We say –Cleanliness is next to Godliness as soon as we are tempted and we pray against it as well.
Satan tempts us to touch inside our navel causing a smell-We resist –No one is to be mastered by anything and pray constantly as well.
Satan tempts us to always touching or cleaning your nails-We resist by washing our hands whenever they are dirty so we don’t over focus on them.
Use the practical advice of washing your hands regularly and keeping your body clean to resist bad habits. Tell yourself “Fighting” as encouragement as you fight against the unseen demons.
Let pray an agreement prayer for God to help us break any bad habits.
In Jesus name-
Heavenly Father, thank you for the grace you have given us. Please we ask and agree that you would help us break all our bad habits. Amen.
