HABITS
Bible Text: Ephesians 4:22-24
Over the years whilst growing up we knowingly or unconsciously formed certain behaviours which has now become a part and parcel of us (Proverbs 22:6). Hence, we may need a self-check and re-evaluation in order to get rid of the bad habits while we retain and build on the good ones. What are those bad habits you are struggling with which has hindered your physical and spiritual growth?
Are they: disobedience to God and elders, poor time-keeping and management, bad eating and table manners, pride, pornography, masturbation, homosexuality, pre/post-marital sex and, the commonest which is ‘telling lies’, as many children now grow up as well-trained liars. Oh! How do I know? When your parents tells you to inform visitors that they are not home. Isn’t that a lie or you call it ‘a white-lie’ and being diplomatic? Beloved, all these petty bad morals amongst others will never allow complete righteousness and productivity in a man’s life (Song of Solomon 2:15).
Therefore, today’s reading encourages us to do away with our old and unpleasant ways because when a man is in Christ, all his past are blotted out and he’s now a new being (2 Corinthians 5:17). Nevertheless, are you out there battling with some habits which you are ready to let go but keeps coming back? If any! Then, today is your day of salvation because as we pray, the Lord shall grant you the grace and empowerment for a new life. Moreover, avoid things and people that encourage those habits, and look up to God (Hebrews 12:1-2)
