OVERCOMING AN ADDICTION

THE 3P's OF OVERCOMING ADDICTION"

We all know what an addiction is.

Apostle Paul said...

1 Cor. 6:12
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

The moment you're brought under the power of something, it becomes an addiction. Once you can't seem to control yourself from craving for a particular thing. It's become an addiction.
And please, we will do well to know that addiction can be anything and not just pornography, masturbation, list, sex, etc...

You can be addicted to your phone too, you know. You know you are brought under the power of your phone when you can't seem to give God some quality time, until the phone is flat dead. And even when it's flat dead, all you can think about is your social media account and what you're already missing by not being online. 

You can also be addicted to FOOD - you can eat anything from anywhere at anytime. As a matter of fact, your friends can call you "Jeni give me 👌🏾" (for those who know what I'm saying 😉).

And so on..

A good number of people are addicted to one thing or the other, whether they are mentioned here or not. The truth is, you can lie and pretend to the world, but there are three people you can't lie to - Yourself, God, and the devil.

The first step to overcoming addiction is accepting the fact that you have an addiction. If you don't, then you won't be saved from it.

Second, is the desire to be delivered. Many know they are under the power of an addiction, but are not willing to be delivered from it. They have even casualized. You hear statements like,

"There's nothing I can do about it.",
"thats just the way I am"
"it's been there for as long as I can remember. No point doing anything about it", and so on. 

So we must first admit to it, and then the desire to be delivered. If we then desire to be delivered, here are the 3 P's of overcoming an addiction.
