Q&A

Q: How can I break a destructive habit?

A: Trying to control the flesh is not something you were meant to do on your own.

The Apostle Paul wrote of his frustrations: “I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind.

This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me” (Romans 7:22-23).

Be assured Jesus understands the pressures that you are faced with, and He desires to help you.

Hebrews 4:15 says, “This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.”

But don’t be discouraged at that. Paul found an answer! Romans 8:1-2 says, “So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.

And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.”

With God’s help, we can walk after the Spirit and not after our fleshly desires!

As Christians, we are born-again spirits, we have souls (minds, wills and emotions) and we live in bodies.

Our spirit man is always strong. The trouble begins when we allow our mind (soul) to dwell on sinful thoughts, and when we allow ourselves to remain in compromising positions.

When we do this, our fleshly desires will give way to sin. So, avoid situations that tempt you to indulge in such habits.

Simply stay away from situations, places and people that tempt you to, whenever possible. Don’t give Satan any ammunition to use against you!

Next, fill your mind with the Word of God. Do it daily.

You will find that as your mind is being washed by God’s Word, the destructive thoughts will become easier to resist.

Don’t forget that you’re not fighting alone. God’s grace is available to help you. When you feel tempted, ask the Lord for His help.

If you fall into sin don’t run from God, run to Him. You can repent by saying a prayer from your heart like the following:

Father, I sinned against You and right now I choose to turn away from that sin and leave it behind me.

I receive cleansing from all sin by the blood of Jesus. I receive Your empowerment to live a holy life right now, in Jesus Name. Amen!

You can be assured that the blood of Jesus will never lose its power to cleanse you!

Send in your questions today and I when reply you by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit within me.

Thank you.

I would like to use the medium to call on anyone out there struggling with pornography and masturbation. The best thing you can to for yourself is to seek for help and stop struggling in silence. The first step to overcoming this is by sharing your problem with someone who is willing to help you through this. By the grace of God I am an overcomer of the addiction because in Christ Jesus I am more than a conqueror. So guys I would advice that you get in Contact with Pastor David and let him guide you through your journey to freedom.
Remember there is nothing righteous about pornography and masturbation.

Thank you Bro. I am just seeing this. The word of God shatters every form of darkness. That’s why I know you are free for life by the light of God’s word I shared with you.

Always mediate on the scriptures I shared with you, remember it is ALWAYS your choice.

Some people are plagued by these destructive habits (e.g, pornography, masturbation, drug addiction, etc) and they are actually enjoying it. This message is not for such people, what they need is prayer to get their eyes open.

But if you are saved but you’re still indulging in such habits against your will, then this message is for you. It is possible to be completely liberated- it’s all your choice, and I’d show you from God’s word.

What I share with the people that contact me doesn’t even take up to 20 minutes. When the light of God’s word comes, darkness disappears completely.

I am not changing anybody any fee! God has blessed me more than abundantly. So, why am I doing this?

Because God has given me the mandate of showing His raw greatness and goodness to the world, thereby saving everyone oppressed by the devil through the preaching of the word of faith.

So, call me or WhatsApp me today, and your faith in God’s word shall liberate you forever.
