in #steemchurch6 years ago

Hello parishioners of steemchurch peace be with you all. Today is another wonderful day that the Lord has made. Today let us share the word of God.

What is alcohol :"a colourless volatile flammable liquid which is produced by the natural fermentation of sugars and is the intoxicating constituent of wine, beer, spirits, and other drinks, and is also used as an industrial solvent and as fuel". Looking at the above definition of alcohol, we can see that alcohol can very dangerous to once health for it is flammable meaning it can catch fire. Sceince also proof that alcohol in the system causes dehydration making the body weak and less active. Alcohol also makes normal person thinks abnormal for it remove shyness from the person.

Looking at alcohol when someone takes it, it goes straight to the blood of the person with going through the normal process of digestion. For this reason, it makes alcohol very harmful for it goes into the blood and cease the supply of oxygen to the blood and the cells.

Let us also look at what the Bible also says about alcohol. The Bible says a child of GOD must not be led astray by taking alcohol. It mocks the sinner and makes a fool of him. It smiles upon him at first but later it bites. Drunkenness which pretends to be sociable thing renders men unfit for society for it makes them to misbehave.

Proverbs 23:29-32
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? Who hath complaining? who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; They that go to seek out mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, When it sparkleth in the cup, When it goeth down smoothly: At the last it biteth like a serpent, And stingeth like an adder."

Alcohol also leads to poverty

Proverbs 23:21
"For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; And drowsiness will clothe a man with rags."

Nobody is without sin, (Romans 3:23) but those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and saviour, have been saved from sin and forgiven by God. These are those who have clean hands and s pure heart (Psalm 24:4). Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and saviour...?

Pray with me :

Dear Lord grant me the grace to avoid places and friends that can lead me to sin.

Sort:  

Alcoholism is very bad act to be practice by a Christian, we need to desist from it before it mocked us.

Paul wrote to the Ephesians in chapter 5: 14-18:

13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.
14 This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,
16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,

Getting filled with wine was the deeds of the past when we did not see the light.

Today, while we live in the light, we are admonished to be filled in the Spirit.

God help us.
