1 Korineto'bai 6 - MB & HBN

Addictions come in many shapes and forms, whether it’s lust, alcohol, substances, gambling, gaming, or even excessive use of your mobile phone and social media. There is professional help to get as well as counselling from your priest or pastor.

Also, read the Bible and lay your addiction before God in prayer. Here are some passages from the Word of God to reflect upon.

James 1:14-15 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

We all have weaknesses within us that can make us fall and lead to an addiction. Acknowledging this, and admitting that you struggle with addiction is an important step to be free from it.

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.

Addictions don’t come from God, but from the world and our desires, lusts and pride. We can rely on God wanting us to be free from any addiction.

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

You may feel that you can’t break your addiction. But the Bible tells us that God can. God will provide the way of escape. Turn to God, turn from your addiction. Let God fill you with his presence.

1 Corinthians 6:12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.

Addiction is many times when something takes control over you. Those things that are not helpful in your life and dominate your thoughts and desires you may need to cut out of your life.

1 Peter 2:11 Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.

Addictions come from this world and not from God. In the end, addictions replace God as the number one in our lives. It’s not just about addictions, but also about our souls.

Matthew 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Lay your struggles before God. Ask for God’s protection and deliverance.

John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

This is the promise of Jesus Christ, that when he sets us free, it is real freedom.

7 Bible Verses to Overcome Addiction

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

12 'Diaza atana 'da ekye: “Aletadrite märi ŋga cini oyene.” Owo; oko ŋga cini ko kado ämiri. Mänina ndi atane makye aletadrite märi ŋga cini oyene, oko mänina ko tadriolene ŋga aza ri ma o'bane iyeäṛi ndaro. 13 'Diaza atana 'da ekye: “Ŋgaonya orivoya tana ya, ago ya tana ŋgaonya.” Owo; oko Lu perena ànya riti 'da. Lomvo ko ronyi oyeza, oko ruinduza Opi ri; ago Opi kani ŋga ozo lomvo ri. 14 Lu eŋga Opi teni avo yasi, ago nda eŋgana ama kpa 'da mbara ndaro si.

15 Mìni ndi anjioko lomvo amiro orivoya telesi lomvo Kristo ro ro. Inye'do märuna telesi lomvo Kristo ro ro gwo ago ma'bana gwo a'done telesi lomvo märänyi'ba ro roya? Rritiro! 16 Kode mìni ṛo ko anjioko mano se kabe lomvo ndaro dro'bena märänyi'ba be ronyi oyene ka ṛo a'do lomvo alo ro anya be ya? Taegyi ata ṛo ŋbelero ekye: “Riti a'dona ndi lomvo alo ro.” 17 Oko nda se kabe andivo ndaro dro'be Opi be a'dona ndi tori alo ro nda be.

18 Mina ta ronyi ro. Takozi aza se lidri kabe oyena enji lomvo ndaro ko, oko mano se kabe taenji ronyi oyesi ka lomvo modo ndaro ro enjina. 19 Inye'do mìni ṛo ko lomvo amiro ni yekalu Tori Alokado ro, se kabe ori ami ya ago se ozote ämiri Lu si ya? Ami ko andivo amiro ro oko Lu ro; 20 nda gye ami te lagye amba si. Ka'do inye mìro Lu lomvo amiro si.
