FREEDOM FROM ADDICTION

Proverbs 31:1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. (2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows? 3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. 4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: 5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgement of any of the afflicted. 6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts).


Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.


Satan has mastered the act of making people forget their true identity because if you are fully conscious of who you are in redemption he would not be able to steal from you(John 10:10). He makes kings forget that they are wearing a crown so that he can pollute it; a polluted crown cannot attract the glory of God. He wants to get you to disobey God but he cannot do it except he first of all makes you forget the law by getting you addicted to strong drink and substance or carried away by some other activities that do not glorify God. When you are out of the lines as a royal citizen you have made those things you give your attention to as your god. Addiction is a controlling power, it takes over peoples judgemental power and begins to control their action in order to satisfy its desire. It is a satanic weapon against man; many are addicted to different things and not only strong drinks or drugs; anything that is strong enough to change your willpower is an addiction. Some are controlled by money, Please don´t get me wrong money is good but when your love for money is taking the place of God in your heart then it has become your idol. When you allow your love for material things to control your judgement and how you treat people and transaction then you are polluting your crown. You will soon lose it. 1 Timothy 6:10 (For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness). Jesus Christ did not say you should not love things but he said you should not love them more than you love God; that is, they should not take the place of God in your life. Exodus 20:5 (Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me); God want to be number one and center of attention in your life; whatever takes your attention from Him has become an addiction, an idol. Matthew 16:26 (For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul)? The commandment of God is not to punish us rather is to help us maintain and keep our crown. Your soul is more important to God than every other thing. He values your fellowship with Him more than everything else and that is why He sacrificed His only begotten son in order to have you and me. He said we should make Him a priority in our lives and then He will give us every other thing we need in abundance including riches (Matthew 6:33).


The royals are known to be highly disciplined, they don't act foolishly except when they are under the influence of something and that is exactly what strong drinks do to people. They are no longer conscious of who they are and what they represent in society. Society has a high expectation of us, they are calculating our errors. That is why in the world today if a believer makes a mistake, there will be noise abroad and you will hear the unbeliever saying but you said you are christian. When you act foolishly you are making mockery of your God and you are going to be punished for your foolishness. You are God's representative and you can´t misrepresent Him and expect a reward. The spirit of God inside of you has the capacity to intoxicate you and you don't need any other intoxicator. Acts 2:13 (Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams):

Job 29:12 (Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. 13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy). Friends, remember in our anchor scripture above, strong wine is to be given to those who are ready to perish; ask yourself; am I ready to perish? Be like Job who values his crown and made righteousness his royal robe and in return God transferred the blessing of the drunkard to him and he became the richest man in the East. God rewards those who respect and obey his commandment; and I see Him rewarding you, In Jesus mighty name. If you don't want God to transfer your blessings to another person, then disconnect yourself from strong drink and get yourself cleansed by the power in the blood of Jesus and the word of God. Our freedom lies in the word of God; as you get addicted to His word from today, your freedom will be established, in Jesus name. Addicted kings are likely to pervert the law and twist things around to hurt those who they are meant to protect; Satan will begin to rule through them instead of God. Love God and you will be free; be loyal to Him and protect your crown so that you will not gnash teeth on the last day. Friends, now that you are fully aware of who you are in redemption and what you set to lose if you stay out of the lines; it is time to examine yourself to see if you are with God. in case you have missed it somewhere; now, is the right time to align yourself with your maker by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus name


Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
