Today I decided to finally take action on my growing addiction to tea. You may ask why. After all, there are numerous benefits to tea. The reason is because I came across this verse in the bible. Paul says, "
“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything ."1st Cor 6:12 ESV
I was becoming addicted, enslaved by tea! One day without tea leaves me with a such an insistent and annoying headache. It may be a small thing but enslavement is enslavement.
My beloved friends, today I encourage you to join me and look into your life. What things are you doing that are not beneficial? What things are you drinking or eating that are causing addiction? Most of us are so addicted to TV shows especially soaps! Some are addicted to hard drugs, alcohol, junk food, eating binges (which the bible calls gluttony). Cut that dependency at the roots. The Lord calls us to freedom. He says we take his yoke, for it is light and he will give us rest for our weary souls Matt 11:29. When we ask for his help, He will help us.
Start now. Let this be the day you make that leap of faith to freedom. Seek for help and pray. The Lord is caring he promises to never leave or forsake us. Do a TV fast for a week, take leave from coffee and tea for a week - I read that caffeine addiction is broken after 9days, get professional help for hard drugs addiction, join alcoholic anonymous, do whatever you need to do to be free of addiction.

The Lord is by your side to encourage you. I am also here to encourage as I also free myself from tea addiction.
NB: I am now taking soya and am sooo looking forward to take a refreshing cup of tea possibly in two weeks. But this time, it will be because I want rather than because I must!
All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. All
things are lawful for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything ."1st
Cor 6:12
