I shared with readers a few weeks ago how God delivered me from pornography (read it here: http://goo.gl/EK7O3C). However, that was the secret one. My other addiction, an open one, which also fetched me quite a few cash and materials is FOOTBALL. To the glory of God, I won a lot from writing articles to various media houses within and outside the country right from my tertiary institution days to as recent as 4-5 years ago.
I was an addicted lover of football to the extent that any services (in church) or other important occasions that clashed with any ‘important football’ event is a ‘no show’ for me. Am as good as being ABSENT! In fact, I remembered sometimes ago, I was actually watching football right inside the church office (secretly) while a service was going on! Such is the power of that football addiction over me. But not anymore! No matter how ‘important’ a football game is, the passion is no more there to the extent that I now even have the ‘audacity’ to even sleep when such games are on-going.
A recent example was the star match played over the weekend
between my ‘darling blues’ and Man U. I had planned to watch the match which
was scheduled for 4pm –
a good time by all standards as church would have long closed and no evening
fellowship for that time. However, I was working on a kingdom assignment but I
was torn between leaving it to go and watch the match and coming back to
complete it later. But the Holy Spirit compelled me to finish the work, which I
did. I only watched the highlights of the match the next day. That demonstrated
to me again that football addiction has no hold on me anymore! PRAISE THE LORD!
