DEALING WITH CRAVINGS AND ADDICTIONS

 
FEBRUARY 11th 2018

Today’s Scriptures: “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” – John 6:63.


When we talk of addictions, we are referring to those things we eat, drink, and do, and upon which our life is wholly dependent. These things include Drugs, medicine, foods, drinks and habits. It is important that we control our cravings and addictions, in order to put a check on the challenges of life. Most challenges we encounter in life, results from our inability to control our appetites, urges and habits. Basically, life is dependent on three major things; food, water and the WORD of God. It is normal to hunger for food, drink, and even to yearn for a type of food or drink. But when you become obsessed and crave for these things, and you fret and fall sick without them, then you have to be careful, for this is a sign of spiritual dislocation or disability. Perhaps we need to understand the value of life, and to know that our inner spirit must always be in tune with its divine origin, which is God.

When there is a gap between us and God, our emotions tries to fill the gap by what we can bite and chew, but that will not solve the problem; we have to get connected with God through His word, which only the knowledge of Jesus Christ, his power and grace can give to us. The word of God is telling us today, that, while we stick to medicine as prescribed, we should also hold unto Jesus Christ, for he is the bridge between us and God. Our healing and rehabilitation comes from within; bridging your inner spirit with God through the knowledge of Jesus Christ and the power of his grace. His word is spirit and life, and will heal our infirmity and weaknesses. Is anyone of us suffering from any form of addiction or craving? Is anyone dependent on medicine to keep life going? This is the time to break the chain of ill-health. Call upon Jesus, and ask for your healing today; he will give you a guide to perfect health.


Prayer

Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I accept your word today, and I declare I am healed of all my infirmities. Lord, breathe unto me the breath of life and renew my spirit. Align my spirit with yours and bring me into perfect understanding of thy divine principles for health and wealth. Today, I silence every addiction and cravings in me; I am healed by His Word. AMEN.
