1 Petero 2 - MB & KIB1967

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.

This article is not intended as a replacement for medical or therapeutic help or treatment for addiction, but a complement and inspiration to those who battle addiction.

Kuni Lidriidriro ago Tu'de Alokado

Ànya 'deyite toromoga tana ànya mayi ta kote ata ya, 'do ni tase Lu kora tana be a'done ànyari owo.

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.

Nyòzo vo ko ole lomvo ro ri se ondoalo kabe kyila oye lindri be ono. 12 A'do amiro Atrai lako beṛo a'done kadopara tana ondro ànya kikicuyi ami ca oso taundi oye'bai ronye oko, ànya ondrenayi taoye kado amiro 'da ago räṛunayi Lu 'da Tu ndaro ikyi rosi.

Oko ondro mìye takado yi nyìŋgyi rriti rueza ro ca tana ro, Lu äṛuna ami 'da tana ro. 21 Tana Lu zi ami te ta ono ta, tana Kristo andivo ezarute ta amiro ta ago e'be taka'daro te ämiri, tana mìso robe pavo ndaro vo. 22 Nda ye takozi kote, ago 'diaza eri ata miodo ro kote ni kala ndaro yasi. 23 Ondro a'da nda ca, nda gologo vona kote la'dao'da si, nda kezaru ca, nda nyaozi kote, oko nda 'ba mi ndaro te Lu, Vureope'ba ŋgye dri ayani. 24 Kristo andivo ŋgyi takozi amaro te lomvo ndaro ya taka dri, tana màdra robe takozi ri ago màri robe taŋgye ri. Tana laza ndaro si ede ami te. 25 Sedri ami orivoya oso timele se ije liti ànyaro te ronye, oko yauono ezi ami te kovole osone Lekye'ba ago Äti'ba lindri amiro ro vo.
