THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR YOU

It is a pure lie from the pit of hell that it is finished for you, you do not have to give up on yourself in as much God has not given up on you. Do not allow Mr. Devil to continue romancing your brain and mind with his words of impossibilities. The word of God in the book of Lamentations chapter three verse thirty-seven says " who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not". You do not have to allow the devil to rob you of your glorious future.

You are struggling with drugs today and you know it is not a good and healthy habit, you know it is against God's will and purpose for your life. You can make up your mind today and intentionally decided to make a U-turn that will birth your freedom from drug abuse.

HOW YOU CAN HELP YOURSELF.

1. You need to come to the truth that what you are doing is wrong and not healthy for you:

It is until you come to the knowledge of the truth about the state of your life that we can say you are willing and ready in the path of freedom. You need to identify that what you are doing is wrong and it cannot take you anywhere.

2. You need to understand that you need help: It is only the person that is sick that goes to the doctor for treatment. You need to understand that you need help and it is until when you cry out for help before help can locate you.

A good example is a man called blind Bartimaeus in the Bible, he understood that he needed help and he had to cry unto Jesus Christ for help and that same day, he received help. If anybody decided to help you today without you willing to be helped, it will be a wasted effort for the person.

3. You need to drop the lie that if you do not do drugs, you cannot be active: That is a very big lie, you cannot function effectively or your brain can not be active. How long will you continue to deceive yourself with what is not true? You are perfectly made by God and your brain is perfectly working even without drugs and if you think you are not functioning perfectly the way you wanted or as expected of you, you can consult the owner of your life, your creator that He should help you instead of doing drugs that will destroy the brain. The word of God in the book of Philippians chapter four verse thirteen says "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me". You can be functioning properly and perfectly through the strength and power of God if you ask for it.

4. You need to debunk the lie that you do not belong or you are not civilized if you do not do drugs.

Have you forgotten the word that says "friendship with the world is an enmity with God"? Why do you have to pitch your tent with the world because you want to belong or because of civilization? Lot in the Bible that pitched his tent with the land of Sodom and Gomorrah lost everything at the end. You do not have to lose everything like Lot before you will realize that there is no gain in doing drugs.

5. Do not let them deceive you that others are doing it. It is just a strategy or trick from the pit of hell that others are doing it too. You are not others, you are uniquely made by God in His image and you do not have to pattern your life with the pattern that others have chosen for themselves. Your life purpose and the journey are different from that of others, you may be on the same bus with others but your destination is different; you have to make a decision and change today for you to get to your destination on time.

6. You need to run for your life: You cannot put your legs in the river and be shouting cold. If you truly want to be free from the bondage of drug abuse, you have to run away from every appearance of drugs in your life. You need to cut yourself off those associate and friends that always push you into doing drugs, you need to deactivate yourself from the area or environment that usually activate or propel you to doing drugs. You have to discard all the materials, films, songs, etc that always ginger you into doing drugs.

7. You need a professional counselor: You need to seek the help of a counselor. There is a need for you to seek the help of an expert in this matter, a counselor that can truly guide you out of this destructive habit.

8. You need to fast and pray about it: There is nothing prayer cannot do. Jesus said to His disciples that without prayer and fasting, a miracle cannot happen. You need to put your body under subjection through fasting and ask for grace from God to overcome drug abuse through your prayers.

I just want you to know that there is still hope for you, no matter how far you think you might have gone, God's arms are open wide to receive you back home. You are made in the image of God and you belong to God, do not allow the devil to ruin your glorious future; come back home, the prodigal son in the Bible received mercy from his father and he was reinstated to his rightful position, God still loves you too, He wants to reinstall you back to your throne as the king. I am assuring you that there is still hope for you.
