I have seen people struggle to stop smoking, drinking, womanizing, telling lies, etc. but doing good in other aspects. This is where the devil triumphs – ‘You many win in other ares but fail in one or two’. The devil knows that it takes only one sin to lead to hell, his greatest desire.

In the Bible, we are given examples of people that were in tempting situations but would not for sin because they did something about. I’m reminded of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife, Joseph was wise enough to understand the intent of the old woman and knew the right time to action. I have written an article to that effect ‘Ultimate power to conquer sin – pull the plug!‘.

I know God can help if you are willing to be assisted. It takes an effort on your side as well. God cannot overpower your will but can only help you where you are unable to control and see. I know for many it takes time to turn around but sadly, the longer the time one takes to do things right, the more the danger of dying in the wrong place.

I pray for you to gain strength to overcome the sin that you struggle with. Pray for yourself too and God will listen and assist you only if you are sincere.
