we all needs
sanctification in order to enjoy glorification. Sanctification is what gives us the ability to live above sin and position him or her to receive
answers to prayers.
Bad habits bow at the feet of
sanctification. Only the sanctified can really deal with the mystery of
iniquity. Like I said in season one, when you identify a bad habit, you must be
willing to stop by adopting a workable solution to make it happen.
In this season two am going list
out the six ways you can start breaking bad habits. Please note that am
not going to start listing the bad habits
one after the other but am giving out the general ways in which you can
tackle this destinies destroyer out from your life.
All you have to do is apply these principles
and I guarantee you that God will be with you all the way, for He said...My grace is sufficient for thee: for my
strength is made perfect in weakness… 2Cor. 12:19 (KJV)
I declare and degree by the power of the word in Philippians chapter 4
verse 13 that you can do all things through Christ that strengthen you in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Now to free ourselves from bad habits, we must
be able to stop hiding the truth from ourselves. Weather good
or bad, a habit is a learned behavior and can be change.
During my studying, I came across
a very delicate point in breaking bad habits and am glad to share that
information with you. Researchers have identified six clear stages in the
process of successful self-change:
- Denial: you have to want to come out of this evil cobweb by denying it and pronouncing Jesus into your life “…he who comes to God must believe that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him ” Hebrews 11:6.
This is when you
know the truth that what you are doing is wrong. This may be the sparks that get
you going. Sometimes we don’t let go because we are not sure that we are doing
is wrong, dangerous or hurt. At this point you need a motivator called Love to
help you care about the effect of your bad habit on others if you don’t care
about it effect in your life.
- Awareness: sometimes your bad habit turns around and bites you. It gives you pains. You lose someone very dear to you, you hurt someone and you get into trouble because of it. Some people have to hit the bottom like the prodigal son in Book of Luke 15:11-32 before they start dealing with their problems. People who ignore the pain and get on are truly ignorant and rebellious in God’s eyes and deserve the condemnation that they will receive.
1Samuel 15:22-23
And
Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
and to hearken than the fat of rams.
For
rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and
stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word
of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
- Preparation: if for whatever reason, you are moved to look for a way out, a way to break your bad habit, the next step is to prepared and acknowledge the fact that we have a bad habit, now acknowledging thing is the hardest part because you know that when you admit a fault, you can no longer participate in it without guilt. You have to prepare to deal this habit; sometimes we’d rather defend our sins or keep our sins than abandon them. The best way to neutralize the power that bad habit has over us is to shine the light of truth on it by acknowledging exactly what it is and how it is hurting us.
- Action: we must be ready to share our problem with one another. Sharing our bad habit humbles us and in so doing prepares our souls for God’s blessings.
Luke
14:11 (KJV) says For whosoever exalteth
himself shall be abased; and he that humble himself shall be exalteth.
- Maintenance: engage in the word of God and practice it. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. James 1:22
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I
might not sin against thee. Psalm 119:11
Ask
for the help of the Holy Spirit because you cannot do it without the Holy
Spirit, noboby kills sins in the energy of fresh.
But
if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that
raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal body by his
Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Romans
8:11.
O
Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. Hosea 13:19
- Termination: you have to take a violent stand. There are some bad habits that will not leave you until you take a violent stand to terminate it.
And from the days of john the Baptist until
now the Kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Matthew 11:12
Beloved, sometimes the process of
breaking a bad habit is not a straight path; it may takes from one stage to the
next. Successful self-changers usually follow a path that’s more like spiral:
they move forward, go back to the previous stage, and move on the next level of
commitment one or more times before breaking the habit once and for all.
My dear brothers and sisters,
your success of breaking out of these bad habits depends on having the right
information and knowing how to use it and with joy in my heart, am glad to
announce to you that you are at the right place and the Anointing of God that
breaks every yokes and takes away every burdens will deliver you from every
captivity of bad habits in Jesus’ Name. Amen
.
Can you really change?
Can you really free yourself from
bad habits?
Millions of people around the
world are living proof that you can.
You really have to sacrifice your
evil pleasures and repent to God. You have to nail it to the Cross because
sacrifice is at the heart of repentance, without deeds your apology is
worthless.
Beloved , repentance is the art
of turning away from mistakes and failures (bad habits) and turning back toward
what is good, true, and beautiful.
The Grace of God is always there
but God’s grace without repentance, it condemns but with repentance it redeem.
Beloved choose life. God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He
did not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.
From listening comes Wisdom and
from Speaking Repentance, you have been reading for seconds,
what is your decision? What is your choice?
Harden not your hearts as in the
provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness.
Hebrews 3:8
Beloved, are you still thinking?
What is that bad habits that want
to destroy your destiny, relationships, marriage, career, and Ministry.
Listen please, you have to step
out to begin the process of breaking
that bad habit’s chain off your neck, tomorrow maybe too late, stop
procrastinating.
True repentance will
entirely change you. The bias of your soul will be changed, then you will enjoy the divine relationship with God.
My beloved, why not fall on kneel
in total repentance, don’t a minutes ….for behold, now is the accepted time;
behold , now is the day of salvation. 2Corinthians. 6: 2
As many as I love, I rebuke and
chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door, and
knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and
will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3: 19-20
God is talking to you why not
break the chains of these habits off your neck.
Likewise I say unto you , there is joy in the presence of the angels of
God over one sinner that repenteth. Luke
15:10.
Say this prayer with me:
Lord Jesus, thank you for accepting
me. With my mouth today, I confess that Jesus is the Lord and I believe in my
heart God raise him from the death; please come into my life as my personal
lord and savior. I denounce all my bad habits; cleanse me from all my sins.
Help me to work in your way. Create in me a clean heart o God and renew a
rightful spirit within me. Restore unto
me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. In Jesus’ Name
I (please mention your name) have pray. Amen.
God bless you, welcome to the
kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. …The
kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ;
and he shall reign forever and ever. (Revelation 11:15) Amen.
