Habitual Sin: 10 Best Ways to Overcome Customary Sin!

Habitual Sin: 10 Best Ways to Overcome Customary Sin!

Habitual sin means a specific transgression that seems to be impossible to stop! A customary sin is common among people who prefer to get happiness from the usual sin than to patiently wait on to the LORD for eternal joy.

Are you going through some tough situations to stop a habitual sin in your life and you gave up? Hope you did not negotiate with the LORD by giving money to the church so that He can overlook your customary sin?

Or did you resolve to believe the false teaching that the grace through Jesus Christ endorses your wonting sin? I suffered so much from customary sin but I thank God for setting me free from the ‘sweet evil’.

Today’s message explains the danger and the practical steps that would give you permanent freedom from habitual sin.

Examples of Habitual Transgression

It is always one or two sins that you cannot let go and you decide to justify your habitual sin through excuses and misconception of some Bible passages. Examples of wonting sin is not limited to the list below:

1. Swindling people for the propagation of the gospel or selfishness

2. Lies; either the white or black one

3. Lust

4. Love of money

5. Watching erotic movies or flipping through the porn materials

6. Drunkenness

7. Drugs

8. Delights in masturbation

9. Destructive anger

10. Pride etc.

Does God Forgive Habitual Sin?

GOD cannot be mocked! A dedicated child of GOD cannot be holy now and joyfully become unholy in the next moment.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” (Galatians 6:7-8)

Someone with a habitual sin repeats the transgression often without remorse for enjoyment or to achieve a selfish outcome.

Yes! The LORD is ready to forgive if you confess and repent from your habitual sin. But a Christian with habitual sin is likened to a lukewarm person. Listen to God’s statement in the book of Revelation chapter 3 verse 15 and 16:

I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.”

Please, don’t forget that GOD tests the heart of the sinner who asks for forgiveness, if He tests your heart and noticed you have intention to repeat the same sin tomorrow, He won’t fall into your deceit!

Job and King David were aware of this secret act of the LORD, so I want you to take this point seriously:

“You have tested my heart; and had visited me in the night; You have tried me and have found nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.” (Psalm 17:3)

The LORD loves you and He is ready to give you perfect freedom from sin if and only if you would give Him all your heart and strength.

“Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.” (Matthew 22:37-38)

Ten Bible Verses About Customary Sin

Habitual sin is so terrible that if you are not careful it blindfolds your eyes to see the revelation of righteousness because the Devil won’t stop deceiving you that since you are a Christian you would automatically gain heaven despite your habitual sin.

The Devil deceived me but I thank God that I was not dead before knowing the truth that Satan can speak to you like a loving Holy Spirit.

Some Bible verses that discourage habitual transgression include:

1. Romans chapter 12 verse 1 and 2

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

2. Hebrew chapter 6 verse 4 to 6

“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come.

If they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.”

3. Hebrew chapter 9 verse 27

“And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.”

4. Colossians chapter 1 verse 21 and 22

“And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight.”

5. First Thessalonians chapter 4 verse 3 to 5

“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honour, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God.”

6. First Peter chapter 1 verse 13 and 14

“Therefore, gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance.”

7. First John chapter 2 verse 15 to 16

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world–the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life–is not of the Father but is of the world.”

8. Romans chapter 6 verse 16

“Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?”

9. Matthew chapter 6 verse 24

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

10. James chapter 4 verse 4

“Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”

10 Side-Effects of Habitual Sin

Customary sin might look beneficial and full of fun but from my personal experience the bottom line is disastrous to the body and soul. I thank God I was saved from committing suicide.

If your habitual sin makes you feel on top of the world today, then get prepared for the terrible explosion at the later end. Please I appeal to you to repent from the wonting sin best known to you before it is too late. Some of the side effects of habitual transgression are not limited to the following:

6. No peace of mind anymore

7. Joy and happiness are always short-lived

8. Nightmares

9. Habitual sin makes you stay longer and makes you go farther than you want to.

10. Second Death.

Think about it; If Jesus Christ or the servant death arrives now and meet the habitual sin in you, it’s going to be a serious disaster because no room for repentance at that moment!

5. Have faith in the word of GOD recorded across the Bible.

6. Stop given excuses or blaming others for your habitual transgression – be determined to quit and God would help you!

7. Grace through Jesus Christ does not condone indiscipline, so give yourself to the LORD for spiritual training and you won’t regret it. (Hebrew 12:10-13)

8. Don’t be afraid of the things you would loss by dropping the customary sin but focus on the eternal benefits of a holy life. (Leviticus 12:1)

9. Set your mind to always think about Heaven and less about the debaucheries on earth. (Matthew 6:19-20)

10. You would overcome habitual transgression if you pray, read and meditate on the word of GOD daily. And, practicing the word of God is the Golden key that gives your spiritual breakthrough!

Habitual sin looks helpful but it is highly destructive. I followed the practical steps above and I became victorious. So, I recommend the powerful steps to you and I am sure you would share your testimonies and comments with us. May the LORD embrace you as you take the bold step to stop the customary sin today in Jesus’ name.

Bad Things: Why Does God Allow Suffering for Christians?

Bad Things: Why Does God Allow Suffering for Christians?

Are you perplex when bad things happen to you or you undergo sufferings because you are a Christian? You might be confused when you see unpleasant things happening to good people! When I experienced similar situation, I was also confused and it nearly affected my faith, but God told me the reasons.

I would share the response GOD gave to me when I went through bad things and I hope it would help you as well.

I lost two kids within the interval of four years and the pains was just too much for me. Each experience is so bad that I did all I could but it was bound to happen.

Did Jesus Christ say ‘no suffering for Christians’?

Many preachers made us to believe that once we accept Jesus Christ, then no more suffering, no occurrence of bad things but all about us would be happiness. My experience as a Christian proves them wrong and I want you to be careful of such deceit.

Life on earth is all about good and bad and every inhabitant would go through various degrees of these two features.

No scriptural reference told us of permanent happiness on earth as claimed by the false preachers in our churches!

1. Jesus Christ said that all things won’t be easy as expected;

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33)

2. Apostle Peter admonished us to endure sufferings;

“…Therefore, let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator” (Please read all verses in First Peter chapter 4)

3. Bro Paul shared his bad times with the Corinthians;

“…who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble… For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ” (Second Corinthians chapter 1)

The list is endless but I want to emphasize that salvation through Jesus Christ does not absolutely stop you from suffering on earth but it saves you perfectly from joining those that would suffer forever in the lake of fire.

Can You Blame God for Bad Things?

Many became atheist due to this matter! But you cannot blame God because He is unquestionable and does not make mistake.

You can’t blame Him for bad things like death because it is an unchangeable programme in creature and He never told you that death is for the oldies, it was some of our preachers that deceived us.

You cannot blame God for the few reasons below:

1. Bad things started on earth when the first parents disobeyed a simple instruction. So, God was not originator of bad things, HE wants good things for us but Adam and Eve would never obey simple commandment. (Genesis chapter 3)

2. The presence of the Devil on earth made a multiplying effect of unpleasant conditions on earth. His target is to push everyone on earth to reject and curse GOD so that he would have many companions to the eternal place of punishment.

Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” (Revelation 12:12)

3. The Righteous Judge is watching and waiting for the right time to bring an end to the first two points above which brought bad things to earth.

“…’Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’… Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”” (Matthew 13:24-30)

From my bad experience I noticed it is not the joy of the LORD to see me go through bad times, so HE comforts me…that’s the truth…HE mends me when I am disintegrated…Glory be to the LORD for my life today!

I cannot blame GOD for any unwanted situation in my life because I know HIM, I know how HE feels when I am down, HE condoles me and encourage me to be strong to the end…HE restores me!! It’s not GOD’s fault that bad things happen to you.

Why Bad Conditions Happen to Christians?

1. The Devil Restlessly Pollutes the Earth

Yes, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ had delivered us from eternal curse, but Satan is still much around attacking us.

“And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”

(Revelation 12:17)

2. GOD Does not Abuse His Power Over You

You find yourself in trouble sometimes due to your wrong choice. Since you know the good from the bad, don’t expect GOD to shout from heaven to stop you from the risky choice you insisted to follow. Also, the sorrow you shared from your loved ones might be as a result of their disobedience to simple rules.

3. Political Powers

Christians suffer when the political leaders in the world takes an ungodly policy.

4. Environmental disaster

Hurricane, earthquake, floods, fire and the likes are phenomenon that can’t be ruled out of life.

5. Pandemic

The hygiene failure or evil implication of a small region can spread all over the world. Can we blame God of such scenario?

Six Steps to Take when Bad Things Happen

1. Weep to flush out stress hormones but don’t be wiped away.

2. Stop accusing GOD but ask for solutions.

3. Pray to God for His role in the matter and for proper understanding.

4. Find out the source and cause of the trouble; if the cause was avoidable then forgive yourself or the offender, but if the bad thing is beyond your control, then let it be…

5. In the case of loss of lives, console yourself through the word of God and remember that we are bound to die (so, God is not wicked to your lost one) because He had never told us that there is an age group that cannot die anytime.

6. Learn from the hard times and move forward.

Bad things are embedded in every day existence as mentioned by Jesus Christ in the Lord’s prayer model, but you can survive them always. Let your faith in GOD be stronger when you go through hard times because HE would surely restore you.

May the LORD deliver us from the evil of the day in Jesus’ name – Amen.

How to Stop the Plans of the Enemies Against Your Life

How to Stop the Plans of the Enemies Against Your Life

Since the fall of the devil into the earth, we all have to deal with one form of enemy or the other. Thank GOD for His care upon our lives because He reveals the secret plans of the enemies to us.

The LORD will show you the plans of the enemies through the spiritual gifts He gives to you. So, today’s message teaches you the steps to take to stop the execution of such plans.

4 Major Steps to Stop the Plans of the Enemies   

Your spiritual faith and discipline would speed-up the points below for victory:

1. Night Vigils

Spiritual knowledge reveals that spiritual plans (both evil and good) are done and executed during the sleeping hours of humans.

I learnt this from Jesus Christ who does not joke with vigils to hear from GOD and to be refilled for the next day’s victory. (Matthew 14:23)

I cannot explain all the secret advantages of vigil because it reveals how to defeat enemies, to receive victorious power, shields your soul and spiritual in-filling that contributes to victory.

Since spiritual victory is not a religious thing, I cannot specify how many times to do vigils in a week, but at least (two hours) once a week according to your physical strength.

2. Prayers

Prayers is the backbone for any Christian to attain a victorious life. It works perfectly when there is no fear, no bias but concentrated faith in the LORD. Please, avoid mentioning angelic names or names not specified by GOD during prayers. Make your request known to the LORD and not complaints!

3. Songs of Praise and Worship

This step can stop the plans of the enemies against your life. This point works sharply because it is God’s food, so those of us who know this secret do not joke with it.

4. Be in the Spirit all the Time

Holy Spirit is like your CCTV. He allows you to see the steps your enemies want to take so you can quickly take necessary actions. To be in Spirit means:

a. All your thoughts must pass through the Word of God.

b. Meditating the Word of God daily.

c. Always sing worship or inspirational songs.

You can cancel every plans of the enemies through the authority of Jesus Christ. So, claim the authority by faith and take necessary actions as the Holy Spirit directs you to do.

The points above are the steps under the scope of holiness and it works for me.
