HABITS

By Pastor Taiwo Odukoya

Every success or failure we will ever experience in life is the result of what we are constantly in the habit of doing...
“So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.”(Luke 4:16)
The story is told of a man who decided to do away with his bad habits. He took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, stared at it and said, “Who is stronger, you or me?”  He answered, “Me.”  So he stopped smoking.  He took a bottle of beer and said, “Who is stronger, you or me?”  There was silence for a few seconds.  “Well,” he said sadly, “I am not very sure about that yet.”
As men, we are ruled by habits.  Every success or failure we will ever experience in life is the result of what we are constantly in the habit of doing. Good habits naturally tend to success and contentment while bad habits tend to failure and frustration.
Habits are God’s key to help us succeed in life.
