Weather your bad habit is a minor annoyance such as insulting your friends,
elders when you offend them instead of apologizing, smoking, alcoholism,telling of lies to mention but a few. It takes conscious effort and smart planning
to break the circle.
Habit often becomes so ingrained we don’t even notice we are
doing them. You can stop whatever you
started as a habit. Bad habits are under your control.
AS HE THINKETH IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE....PROVERBS 23:7 KJV
A lot of bad habits have resulted in marital and family
crisis. Some habits have hindered the manifestation of destinies, dreams and
visions.
You can free yourself from these destructive habits with the
help of God.
What is habit? An
acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost
involuntary.
What is your habit?
Your liberty is not guaranteed without the help of God;
You need the Holy Spirit.
You need His impartation of holiness and good habits. When you identify a bad
habit in your life, you must agree that it is possible to stop it and must be
willing to adopt workable solution to see it happen.
Any habit you tolerate, you cannot truncate.
Is stealing a habit? Is it unstoppable?
LET SHARE THE STORY OF A BOY WHO
GAVE HIS LIFE TO JESUS
AND HOW HE HOW HE CAN OVERCOME THE
HABIT OF STEALING
Richard is an undergraduate that
knows how to steal very well but now he just accepts Jesus into his life as he’s Personal Lord and Savior. His parents are not rich, his mother is a trader and
his father is a bricklayer, how he manages to be in university is shocked to a
lot of people.
Richard needed five hundred naira
to pay at a computer place for typing and printing of his term paper that must
be summit the next day. He told his parents about the money two weeks ago but
they could not afford it even when tomorrow is the last day to summit or he carry-over
the course as threatened by the course Lecturer.
So he waited for his mother to
returned from the market so that he will collect the money from her and hurry to
the computer place for proof-reading and printing, finally his mother comes
back, with joy written all over Richard, he requested the money from his
mother and the mother told him that his father comes to the market and collected all the money she make from her
sales so that he will add up with what
he has and give to the landlord for house rent because
he has been requesting for his money two weeks ago and even threatened to threw
their belongings outside if they don’t comply.
Richard filled with disappointment sat down quietly
tried to continued reading his book, he
could not concentrate, at that very moment his father came in, he greeted him,
and his father told his mother that he
went to see the landlord immediately he collected the money from her but met
his absent and that’s where he want to go again and the he sat down brought out
the money from his pockets to confirm again before leaving.
Richard didn’t bother to ask his father
money for his term-paper because he knew what the answer will be. His father confirmed the money stood up and
said to Richard I will back very soon as Richard lift his head up to say
okay father, he saw five hundred naira
under the chair, where his father sat to bring out money from his pockets to
count……and …..
The question now is what do you
think Richard should do, what will he do at that very point?
Remember this is the exact amount
he needs for his term-paper and the deadline to summit it is tomorrow, and if
he does not summit he will carry over that very course as threatened by his Lecturer.
Richard just gave his life to
JESUS but before that, he was very good in stealing. So what should he do?
Dealing with habit –SEASON TWO to be continued……
