1 Korineto'bai 10 - The Holy Bible in Moru (BAIBOLO ALOKADO) (MB)

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 Nda se kabe tausu ekye ya edre ŋgyiri ka'do taoti be kadoro ukyi nda o'de 'da. 13 Taojoro se cini kabe drio'be ami be ni se kabe ikyi ondoalo lidri ri owo. Oko Lu ka tao'ba ndaro ätina, ago nda o'bana ami ko ojone ndrani mbara amiro edrero ŋgyiri drisi; tuse a te ami ojo sina si, nda ozona mbara 'da ämiri anya iŋgyiza, ago ozona liti ruoparo 'da ämiri vo opaza.

14 Ka'do inye bereazii maro, mina ami pere ni mätu lui awi ro yasi. 15 Ma ata ämiri oso lidri tauni be ri ronye; mìpe vure tase mabe atana ro andivo amiro si. 16 Kofo se màbe ŋga umvu sina Ŋgaonya Tandrwedri Opi roya ago se màbe aro'boya ozo Lu ri tana ro; ondro mà te ŋga umvu ni kigyesi; mà kari Kristo ro la'dona. Ago ambata se mà be towana; ondro mà te onyana, mà ugu lomvo Kristo ro la'dona. 17 Tana duŋguṛu ambata ro orivoya alodi, ama cini, ca amba; orivoya lomvo alodi yi, tana ama cini mà duŋguṛu alodi na 'do la'do.

18 Nyusu ta lidri Yisaraele ro; ànya se kabe ŋgase alote tori ro onyana, la'doyi ruindu se vo tori oloro ya Lu ri te. 19 Ka'do inye, matana 'bo ndi makye lu awi kode ŋgaonya se ozote rigye gindi endaro ŋga yi ya? 20 Hwa! Ma ugu ata makye ŋgase alote tori ro vo tori oloro taomaako'ba ro dri ozote demonai ri, ko Lu ri. Ago male ko ämiri a'done ŋga la'do'bai ro demonai be. 21 Minina ko ŋgaumvune ni kofo Opi ro yasi ago kpa ni kofo demonai ro yasi; minina ko ŋgaonyane ni tara'biza Opi ro drisi ago kpa ni tara'biza demonai ro drisi. 22 Kode inye'do male Opi o'bane a'done yaoko be ya? Inye'do musube mbara amaro ndrani nda drisi ya?

23 Ànya ekye: “Aletadrite ämäri ŋga cini oyene.” 'Do ndi endaro, oko ŋga cini ko orivoya kado. “Aletadrite ämäri ŋga cini oyene” Oko ŋga cini orivoya ko 'diopaoparo. 24 Beṛo ko 'dialo ri ugu ŋga uṛine ta modo ndaro rota, oko ta azii rota ayani.

25 Ami orivoya dritai ro ŋga cini se agyete vo iza logyero ya onyane, teinye ta azaka ejiako tana ro tana ta tavousu ya amiro rota. 26 Tana oso taegyi katabe ronye ekye: “'Bädri ndi ŋgase cini kigye ono be orivoya Opi ro.” 27 Ondro taomaako'ba keji mi te ŋgaonya onya ago miratate oyine, minya ŋgase a'babe mikandra 'do, teinye taejiako tana ro tana ta tavousu ya miro rota. 28 Oko ondro 'diaza katate miri ekye: “Ŋgaonya ono ozote lui awi ri,” ka'do inye minya ŋgaonya ana ko, ta nda se kititabe miri rota ago ta tavousu ya rota, 29 'do ko, tavousu ya modo miro rota, oko ta tavousu ya 'dina 'do ro rota.

Ka'do inye, 'dooko, mano aza keji ta gwo ekye: “Dritai maro a drina o'bina tausu 'diazi rota etaya? 30 Ondro ma aro'boya oye Lu ri ta ŋgaonya maro rota, ka'do inye 'diaza mawona ma gwo ta ŋgaonya se maye aro'boya be oye tana ro ono ta etaya?”

31 Ka'do inye, ŋgase nyàbe oyena, kode nyà onyana kode umvuna, miye ri cini räṛu Lu rota. 32 Miri ori liti se kunina ko o'de toromoga ozone Yudai ri kode Atrai ri kode känisa Lu ro ri 'do aya. 33 Miye kpa oso mabe oyena ronye, mojote lidri o'bane riyä ro ŋgase cini mabe oyena ya, ko takado modo maro ro ugu tavona usune, oko takado 'dicini ro ayani, tana apa ànya robe.
