DEALING WITH DEMONIC OBSESSION

Memorise:
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. .. 2 Timothy 2:4

Read:
Judges 16:1-21

Message

When a fellow is obsessed, it means that the person's mind has become completely preoccupied with someone or something, such that the fellow loses control of his or her emotions concerning that person or thing. Most cases of obsession are demonically induced and often lead to the destruction of the victim unless God intervenes.

Some people's obsession is alcohol; they cannot stop drinking. Substance abuse and uncontrollable sexual desires are other forms of obsession. Going by today's Bible reading, we can say that Samson's obsession with women was what destroyed him. Excessive sleeping is another obsession that some people have. The Bible says that if a fellow loves sleeping too much, he or she will end up in poverty (Proverbs 20:13).

Beloved, flee every inordinate affection. Don't allow the enemy to turn them into an obsession that will destroy your future. Rather, be obsessed with God and His word.

Bible In One Year:
Leviticus 19-21

Hymn:
Yield Not To Temptation

Key Point:
Never allow yourself to be addicted to or obsessed with any person or thing besides God.

King James Version

Judges 16:1-21

RCCG Hymn

Yield not to temptation

  1. Yield not to temptation.
    For yielding is sin;
    Each victory will help you
    Some other to win;
    Fight manfully onward.
    Dark passions subdue;
    Look ever to Jesus,
    He'll carry you through.

    2. Ask the Saviour to help you
    Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
    He is willing to aid you,
    He will carry you through.


  2. Shun evil companions.
    Bad language disdain;
    God's name hold in reverence,
    Nor take it in vain;
    Be thoughtful and earnest,
    Kindhearted and true;
    Look ever to Jesus,
    He'll carry you through.
  3. To him that o'ercometh,
    God giveth a crown;
    Thro' faith we will conquer.
    Though often cast down;
    He who is our Saviour,
    Our strength will renew;
    Look ever to Jesus,
    He'll carry you through.
