AVOID STRONG DRINK

DAILY GRACE WEDS. 10TH MAY, 2017 AVOID STRONG DRINK PROVERB 20: 1 It's beginning of a fruitful day for you. The glory of your destiny will not be turned to shame in Jesus' name. "Wine is a mocker, Strong drink is a brawler, And whoever is led astray by it is not wise". Many people are still doubting the stand of God on the issue of taking alcoholic drinks, even some nominal Christians still find it hard to give up the idea of drinking despite their confession to be a believer in Christ. This verse of the scripture above sternly warns about the inherent dangers often associated with drinking alcohol. I heard someone who professed to be servant of God but still found in the very act of drinking before mounting the pulpit for ministration. And when asked about this killing habit, he said "I can't flow very well on the altar without drinking." Several men who are self proclaimed leaders still engage in the very act of alcoholic drinking behind the closed door. The key phrase is that whoever is being deceived by fermented wine, beer, shanpgne (etc) is not wise i.e such person is a fool! The scripture above reveals and also warns every believer in Christ Jesus about the variety of personal and social evil consequences associated with indulging in the very act of taking alcohol. Let's consider the following quickly;(1.) Mocker: As a mocker, it leads to a decreased capacity for self control/esteem, a weakening of inhibitions and a distaining of prudent behavior and righteous standard or values. (2.) Raging: Strong drink as raging suggest violence because it contributes to disturbances, conflicts and multiple crises in families and society. Friends, it is only the abstinence from strong drink that is under the control of the Holy Spirit and He is the one that guarantees the avoidance of strong drink. Make decision today to quit that trend, and glorify God of all grace on earth. To be continued...... Enjoy your day.! Personal Confession: Father Lord, help me to avoid strong drink that may damage my destiny in Jesus' name.
