How can we overcome addiction? This question seems not to have a clear answer. This is because addiction is caused by the pleasures of the flesh. People are addicted to something that is pleasurable to their flesh.
The pleasures which our flesh longs after is what make some people get addicted. Those substances which are consumed into the body are pleasurable to the flesh. When we always want to give our flesh what it wants, we will become addicted to that thing.
Addiction is dangerous to the world as a whole. The whole world is in problem because of the problems of addiction. People are destroying themselves because of the harmful substances which they are consuming.
Many of the drugs are capable of destroying people's lives in minutes. According To Bro Eli Soriano, there is a drug which can cause very damning effects to someone.
Hebrews 11:24-25 (KJV) By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season
Bro Eli Soriano shared with us his personal story of how he threw away his lighter that he used for smoking cigarettes when he received the gospel of Jesus Christ. We should all follow such examples. We should deny every pleasure of the flesh when we have accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is what will deliver us from the pleasure of the flesh.
