CULTIVATING GODLY HABITS. Sunday,
July 6th
-Pastor Chris.
According to his usual habit Paul went
to the synagogue. There during three
Sabbaths he held discussions with the
people... (Acts 17:2 GNB).
Some habits programme you positively
for success, while some others
programme you negatively for failure.
For example, a student who stays up
late to watch movies is
definitely programming himself
wrongly. He shouldn't expect to turn
out the same way with another who's
studious at night, and spends his time
wisely. The latter will most likely end
up an excellent student, while the
former ends up average or even
obtuse.
Human beings are born with "wild"
instincts; they come into the world as
babies who are uncultured and
untamed.
As they grow, their inherent "wildness"
makes it easier for them to pick up bad
habits faster than good ones.
This explains why a child may start
telling lies without anyone
necessarily teaching him how to. As he
continues in it, it forms his character.
Thus the Bible says, "Train up a child in
the way he should go: and when he is
old, he will not depart from
it" (Proverbs 22:6). Children are to be
taught
early to imbibe godly habits.
The older you get, the more difficult it
is to adjust your habits. An adult can't
change easily because he already has a
lifestyle, and to change it, he'll have to
get a new
one. He'll only have the opportunity of
a new lifestyle when he's born again;
that's when he receives a brand new
life
and a new Lord over his life.
If you're unhappy because of an
unwholesome habit, don't
become frustrated; rather, realize that
habits are simply repeated actions. If
you'd replace that old habit with
a.good one, you'd get rid of the one
you don't like.
The Bible says sin shall not have
dominion over you
(Romans 6:14). God's Word is given to
us to guide our thoughts, habits,
character, and ultimately build our
lives.
Whatever godly habit you desire to
cultivate is possible.
Spend more time in God's Word and
prayer, and your life will align with
and your life will align with His perfect
will.
PRAYER.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for your
Word has in it the ability to make me
what it talks about. Jesus Christ is Lord
of my life; I refuse to be in bondage to
any habit or lifestyle that's contrary to
your Word. I have the greater
One living in me, and He guides and
propels me from within, in Jesus'
Name. Amen.

For it is God which worketh in you
