Some helpful tips to overcome Sin

Some helpful tips to overcome Sin

Every human is prone to fall in sin irrespective of their super sainthood or holiness. God-made, Adam fell; wisest human, Solomon fell; Person after God's heart, David fell; at some point in their lives. No sin /addictions are too strong to overcome. Please see listed below some useful tips which would help any Christians to overcome sins in their life:

Accept mistakes
First thing that is to be done for any correction is to acknowledge the deviations we have with respect to the standard desired by God (not by a church or leader). Many times we justify and allow minor faults in our lives and it goes and grows unchecked. Accept sin as sin not as weakness.

Do not quench the guidance of the Spirit
When we have fellowship with Holy Spirit (fellowship of Holy Spirit is available to every believer in Christ), He would convict/correct us when we get involved in ungodly thoughts, looks, desires, actions etc. If we quench the promptings of the Spirit by our self justifications, we might not feel the similar convictions again. Confess honestly and take instant decision to correct even if it hurts.

Face the facts
Imagine where you, your friends, your family will end up if your present sinful condition continues. Examine and take the corrective actions that need to be taken.

Develop intimacy with God
It is possible only if we spend time in prayer and Bible meditation and obey Him regularly.

Maintain good godly fellowships which can point out your mistakes when something goes wrong. Start or join some quality bible study cum prayer groups.

Depend on God for the deliverance. Jesus Christ is to be accepted as Savior not only for the penalty of sins but also for the power of Sins. Jesus never fails! Jesus Saves! Jesus delivers!

Overcoming the sin may not happen in single leap but in step by step. Keep fighting and you will have the hatred to do the particular sin instead of loving it

Have a successful Christian living!
