OVERCOMING SECRET SINFUL HABITS (Part 1)
I have received some of the most distressing messages bothering on this subject of secret sinful habits, and I sense that it is time to address this monster that has become a destructive tool in the hand of the Devil. I received a message at a time that took me days to give the sender any concrete reply. The young man was forced to send a follow up message because he thought I had forgotten him. Not at all! I just needed to get a word from the Lord on how to address his frustration. He had been caught up in a particular secret sinful habit such that he had lost all hope for a break off. He saw my number somewhere and he decided to reach out for help.
Over time, God has helped me to handle different cases from people who have sincerely opened up on their personal struggles. One thing is common, they were all trapped with one secret sinful habit or the other which plagued their lives for years. Thank God for those who opened up, but there are countless others particularly youths who have been consumed with some sorts of secret sinful habits such as masturbation, lesbianism, drug abuse
and other forms of addictions. Except there is a divine intervention from God, coupled with personal decision to put an end to the menace, such a person will remain a captive for life! That is why I will be relying on the Holy Spirit to help me through this four-part article to capture His mind in other to show you the way out of the secret sinful habit(s) that may be plaguing your life at the moment.
“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” Hebrew 12:1.
Secret sinful habit is called besetting sin. It comes to you so easily and it appears to be the only “strongman” that puts a barrier between you and God. Friend, before it destroys your destiny and send you to hell eventually, now is the time to do something drastic about it! Please, watch out for part 2 of this liberating series.
