 Good evening everyone, we want to welcome you all into today's program and we want to start with the word of prayer, let's pray. We thank you Almighty Father in Heaven for your goodness and your kindness. Thank you Father for your masses that are new each morning. Thank you Lord even for the privilege that you've given us to be called to your children even if you're not worthy and we do think that contrary to your will but Lord we come to you asking for forgiveness and cleansing that Lord may you be with us may you be our strength and this evening as we've come again to hear from you we pray for special blessings for each one of us who will listen to you today and Lord as we want to start by singing we pray that may you bless us also because we pray all this in Jesus name. Amen. Thank you. We want to start with the song that says when my life work is ended I shall know him. Yes, you're welcome. It says take my life and let it be number 292, song number 292 out of my bondage sorrow and night Jesus I come. Good evening all, we rise up for our and let us believe and pray. Father God Lord our creator and our redeemer we thank you for who you are. We have come into this house to listen to what you have for us. How we pray that Lord but that you give us a listening mind also to listen to what you have for us. Hasten the steps of those who are still on the way. We commit the speaker Pastor Jacob into your hand. Lord may your spirit guide him even as take us through this message and also for the rest of the remaining program for the week. It's our prayer in Jesus name. Amen. Once more I welcome you to this evening service. For this week we have been having a series of learning and it will go through up to Sabbath the 27th. Saving you in front is the sign language is sister Joyce Kwanboka and at the piano is brother Nehemiah Nyeribo and our chorister is sister Nora Nyeribo. The preacher for this week is Pastor Jacob Lichena and he is taking us through the learning on addiction. So please invite a friend even those who are online please continue to invite a friend so that we share the message that God has for us together and apply it in our life. I'll proceed that we'll do a scripture reading and the scripture reading comes from the book of Romans. We'll read two texts. It comes from the book of Romans chapter 7 verse 25. I'll give you a few seconds to be there. Romans chapter 7 verses 25. I'll read from new international version and it reads. Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law but in the sinful nature as slave to the law of sin. Second reading comes from chapter 8 the same book Romans 8 verses 1 it reads. Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Jesus Christ. May God bless the reading. Thank you. We're going to do the opening song, song number 614. It says sound the battle cry. Beautiful singing shall we pray. Heavenly Father we are before your throne again. We once again invite the Holy Spirit to speak to us Ayyanin for you. We want to talk about issues of life. We thank you because Father God in John 14 verse 6 you say you are the truth, the way and the life. That we can only learn life from you. So Heavenly Father I pray that I may decrease in that you may take over and speak to your children through me as a vessel for I pray this in Jesus name. Amen. Be seated in the presence of the Lord. We want to thank the Lord for bringing us together again. That we may continue to learn and hear from Him. God has been indeed faithful and gracious to us. I know there are those who are in our midst with thank you for making time to come and for setting aside this week of prayer that you want the Lord to speak to you. I equally extend the same to those who are following us on different forums that you may continue also to attend with us this week as we look at issues relating to addiction and see how we can find freedom and peace from the enemies of the society. It's very clear and evident that we have a common enemy and this common enemy is addiction. Yesterday we agreed that at least every family is in a way infected and affected. Like we say in HIV and AIDS if you are not infected you are affected and even if there is no member in your family who is affected we have neighbors and friends who are asking questions about addiction. And today we want to see how then we can position ourselves to seek this freedom and peace and not to do it at the back but to do it at the front line. And so the title of our sermon today is Fighting on the Front Line. The song that we sang is a call for battle. It's one of the songs that is sung and you almost feel like you're preparing to go for war. And that's I hope this song is making you feel this evening. It says, sound the battle cry. See the foe is nai. Rise the standard eye for the Lord. Guard your arm around. Stand firm everyone. Rest your course upon the Holy Word of the Lord. Strong to meet the foe. Marching on we go while our course we know. We know and we want to know. And we must prevail. The shield and the banner is bright. Gleaming in the light. Battling for the right. We never can fail. Then prayer that oh God of all hear us when we call. Help us one and all by the grace. When the battle is done and the victory is won. May we wear the crown before thy face. How beautiful. That even the battle we are talking about addiction, which is a riu riu battle. Christ is already promising as victory. That the battle will be done and the victory will be won. And we shall wear a robe and a crown before the face of our God. And this gives me a lot of hope even as a start of this ceremony. Some on this evening that there is hope for the people who are struggling with addiction. There is hope for every family. There is hope for every church that has members that they care for. The writer of this song, William Fisk Shewin, Cognizes the need because he lived in the time of the end of the American Civil War. He lived between 1826 and 1888. And he knew what war was and how it feels to win a war, to come out of the war situation. Of course Kenyans, God has been kind to us. The only close we got to feeling anxiety about war was in 2007. The post-election violence. And people were uncertain. Of course we've had other small, small issues. But we're such a peaceful country. But yet we know the battle that Paul is referring, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world. Against nature, I mean against spiritual weakness in the high places. Wherefore take upon your all armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil days. And having done or stand that Paul is recognizing, all is calling us to say yes, we in a battlefield, the spiritual and the physical. And during this week we are going to see how much our spiritual, the battle of drug and substance addiction is. That is as much as spiritual as it is physical, as it is mental, as it is social. And what is written by Peter in 1 Peter 5 verse 8 comes through that you are our adversary, your adversary. The devil walks around like a rolling lion seeking who he may devote. Therefore be sober he says, and be vigilant. I call for sobriety among things that are addictive, things that surround us that are so annoying. And this evening or today we are going to realize that there are many things that are calling our attention even as we talk about addiction. And this is what Paul, father is testifying in the book of Romans when he says, and thank you elder for reading it very well, for saying that in this battle that we are talking about addiction, although we want to be sober, it's a battle. How does Paul represent this battle in the book of Romans? Romans 7 starting from us 14 he says, for we know that the law is spiritual, but I'm sold under sin. Verse 15 he says, for that which I do, I allow not. But what I would, that do I not. But what I hate, that I do. And you know, I am feeling like in this verse Paul is actually defining what addiction is, because addiction is a point where you have developed a relationship with something and you come to a point to realize that I don't like this thing and you want to quit, but you can't. So you are addicted to alcohol, you are addicted to cigarettes like we saw some of the drugs that we have, you are addicted to weed or card or even sex that we are going to look at. But you have come to a realization that I need to change, but the pathological love and relationship that you have with this chemical or with this experience or with this behavior you are not able to stop regardless of how much you want to. And Paul is saying what I hate, I do. And he is almost suggesting that there is guilt and shame that comes with addictive behaviors. When you do it, you sit back and say, man, I did it again and I am feeling so terrible in defining the essentials of dependency. McAuliffe in his book says that addiction is a pathological love relationship with a chemical, with a mood altering chemical, with a behavior, a certain behavior or with a certain experience or activity that you are not able to stop regardless of the consequences. Three things are coming out here or four rather. That addiction can be behavioral, that there are things that you find yourself doing and you want to stop doing them, but you can't. It could be chemical. Chemical dependency or what you call mind-ottering substances is a level of dependency. For example, alcoholism whereby an alcoholic will promise that he will never drink again, especially after an incident. And as a counselor this happens a lot where you have a family meeting with a young person, maybe a university going student and he says after a talk with the counselor and the family, group meeting and the son is there or the daughter and the other family members and you process this with them and they say, pastor, I want to promise before my family that I would never drink again. And you say a prayer and as a together you agree, yes, let's start moving forward. But after one week you receive a call, pastor, it has happened. That is the nature of dependency. And that's why we say that then chemical dependency or drug addiction or any form of addiction is not just physical. It's not sitting around table and saying, okay, from today ends forth, I will not do it again. It has a lot of psychological, say biological and even spiritual undertones. And so when we are approaching it, we shouldn't look at the only physical because I know physical. I've talked to some parents who say that I think, pastor, what I need to do is take my son abroad. If he goes abroad to invest the out of the country he will stop or even young people themselves saying, I think Kodarendi is a change of school. The school that I am in, I just need to change the words. The environment, I just need to go to another different environment. But this is not a solution to addiction because as a matter of fact addiction ignores all the consequences. It escapes reality. It is a compasive behavior. And at some point addiction can have what we call withdrawals that even when you want not to, your body itself is subjected to wanting to have. I don't know whether you've met people who will say that I need to take one before I'm able to start off my day. For them, if it's alcohol, they must wake up in the morning and at least come to when I say kutua loq. Nimpaka nituwa loq. I must unlock my word. My brain, because my brain without it, I cannot. There are people who cannot sign a book without having taken a drink. Those are the withdrawals whereby you find that either your arms are sweating, you're not able, you lose your appetite, you lose your sleep, what you call sleep insomnia, or you even are not able to do basic things like hygiene and becoming uncant. And the other thing that is also very key in the addiction process that is important to think through is the distorted thinking. Yes, and I mean distorted. I have met some young people who would want to spiritualize addiction. And they would tell you pastor, you know what, my connection with this drug is another level. I do it, it's a ritual for me. It's such a ritual that when I smoke, especially bam, and I see the smoke is ascending upward straight, then I know that it's a God and a beef na mimi. God doesn't have any issues with me. But when I see it's becoming cloudy and moving everywhere and not doing na beef, I know God has some issues, unsorted issues. So that somebody looks at smoking weed as a spiritual act. It's a ritual. It may not be intended like that, but what I know of people who use drugs, people who smoke, they have specific time to smoke. You may want to check with somebody you know that when they wake up, there is something a ritual sort of that they must light their cigarette after a certain time. Either they wake up, go to the washroom and then come back and light the cigarette or they will light the cigarette and smoke fast or walk to the balcony or do something. And those who live and wake up in the nights are three to take a cigarette and it's such a ritual, the clock in the mind is so set that I must wake up at three in the night too to drink or to smoke, especially to smoke. And so that we were saying that addiction comes in the physical, that the body craving, the craving is not just, it's physical. Sometimes you find yourself walking to your point of the ritual or the drinking like some people don't even, they find themselves in a pub because they have been used to so much of a pattern, a routine that I go to work at eight I finish work at five and when I finish work at five I must stop over at a certain joint and it becomes, the people have been drinking for the last 30 years and they stop at one pub and now addiction is even changing the people are very organized I have met people in banking for example, Elden Pasta and they are very good accountants they will do their math and do that for three months they have not drunk anything three months not drinking, no smoking, no nothing of course it comes with drinking more but then they know the holidays what holidays in April, Easter what are the holidays coming up May, Labor Day they know that there is another holiday in June and then October and then Christmas and during those holidays they beach drink so they will organize themselves for a drink drive so they will start drinking in Nairobi go to Naivasha come back to Nairobi go to Mombasa come back to the whole holiday is used on a drinking spray so when we say it's physical we're simply saying that the body gets so accustomed to the secret between the fingers and the lighter on the other finger or a bottle of liquor a bottle of liquor and they have a way of ensuring that they don't lack they have a stalk they have stalk either in the room I need my charger yes it's in the bag there you can remove it and plug it in for me you can easily see how the pattern because addiction is a pattern kind of like a temple of things happening in a certain way and that inability to control and now the reason we say it's a cycle the reason why we say it's a cycle is that after you drink the cycle repeats itself so we'll say that somebody will start to drink and they feel guilty about it after drinking depending on how they set themselves up and then they'll go back to drinking again and then they'll stop drinking and go back again so the cycle becomes a continuous vicious cycle the hope that we have and the approach that we use must equally address addiction as a cycle and so when we look at the chemical addiction that we're saying there's something that you induce either orally a chemical that you either induce orally you inject yourself either intravenously or you snort snorting is using a straw and I think tomorrow I'll show a feel of this in the introduction on the slides of some of the pictures now these drugs administered this action of inhaling or smoking or snorting becomes behavioural so it's a behavioural and a chemical addiction at the same time yet there are addictions that are only behavioural like sex addictions people who are ushup lived they're not using anything they're not inducing any chemical into their body but their behaviour is addictive I talk to young people and most of the young people will be addicted to things like masturbation as young adults and there's nothing that they're putting into the body but they have an addiction they have a behaviour that they're not able to stop regardless of the consequence and so we see that some of these behaviours include pathological gambling or gaming it has become very common now to find young people and even sometimes old people with the world they call it world playstation or gaming and they actually get hooked to it that they can do it the whole day some of the games like GTA which I'll talk about on Saturday because let me not talk about it now because I wanted to let me not say what I'm going to do because it's supposed to be a surprise but games that people are so addicted to that during the holiday they will sit before a computer and play the whole day I'm looking at social media and internet or sometimes excessive sporting people who do weightlifting even when the muscles become big enough they still do what they want them snappy they want to feel when it gets to a point where you are overdoing it and it becomes a form of addiction there are people addicted to their work work colleagues to them it's work and work and work they work 25 hours per day if that was possible and of course with the technology that we have today things have only become more challenging one writer says don't fool yourself that adventists are immune of these addictions addictive behaviors can be found among people of faith and our church members as well so therefore then if this is true we need to understand then what are some of the behavioral signs of addiction and we see that in either chemical there is a change of attitude personality people the way we identified them the way we understood them they change, they change their friends and the group they hang out with those who are in school or work their performance starts to deteriorate the change of activities those people used to play football they no longer play football and you can understand this that if you used to play football and you go to the pitch and you are drunk the ball will be kicked to you you see three balls coming to you and don't know which one to kick and so as you time the ball the ball you are hitting is not the one that the real ball so the ball passes and it becomes now everybody gets to know that there is something that is happening we need to run away from hobbies from activities that otherwise would have socialized and young people especially in addiction we need to confront and talk at this talk what are some of the alternative things that we can do and so that we can be able to address this sometimes at home when addiction is knocking at the door you will find that people will change their habits they used to eat together but they start to want to eat in their rooms or to eat at their own time and even that small behavior change needs to be recognized and challenged because it is in family eating together that we find that we see what is happening with the family members even parents I am not saying this technically a junior thing or a youth thing even parent who will start avoiding eating family table family get together family eating time they will start to avoid there must be a reason why they are avoiding so technically there is a loss of interest in family activities no interest at all and then the other thing that is very common is forgetfulness that people start to become very forgetful you had an appointment with them you talked about it and you called them and they said oh I forgot the energy service team goes down to a point where somebody develops an attitude I don't care at a level whereby they realize that it's unmanageable and they say I don't care what they say and we need to watch that so that we are able to see how we can help because love is a conquering love is a conquering theme of this this modiness, irritability or nervousness people are easily annoyed and angered this paranoia for both chemical and behavioural to fear that notice I'm receiving funds and these funds are I don't know who is calling me and depending on what drug they are taking then it can be a challenge therefore when we are fighting this battle that we are saying that we need to fight the enemies of the society and we are saying that the things that we are fighting against are things like gumbling we need to understand them we need to know them because the first strategy of fighting an enemy is understanding and knowing this strategy many young people are betting on football and there are many betting companies that have come or stations that have been opened for gumbling where people want to increase their chance of winning at the expense of the other person so the society pays the escalating cost of crime and victim support and family breakdown which erones the quality of life The 7th Adventist Church believes that it is again a Christian principle it is not a proper form of entertainment or a legitimate means of raising funds maybe we can discuss this on Sabbath and ask ourselves this question is one of the issues whether should we raise funds by gumbling somebody comes with a wheel and turns and if it lands on you you get a great controversy book or there are many forms so we need to ask ourselves because the motive especially when money is needed is to increase the chance of winning at the expense of the other person therefore gumbling creates a false hope the gumbling dream of winning big replaces the true hope with a false dream of stability improbable chance of winning Christians are not to put their hope on wealth of course when the bible says that money is the root of all evil it doesn't say money is evil or wealth is bad but wealth that is gained not in an appropriate way is contrary to the stewardship principles that we espouse imagine somebody who is unable to sleep because they are waiting for themselves to win a jackpot would they think of investing of course gumbling is so addictive the addictive qualities of gumbling clearly are contrary to the Christian lifestyle the church seeks to help not to blame those suffering from gumbling and that's the hope that we have that in every addiction that we are talking about whether addiction or whether gumbling sex or drugs we are not blaming the people who are addicted but we are telling them we are telling ourselves I think I need to put myself in the bracket we are sitting and ask ourselves serious questions is this thing went too far because if the principles are contradicting if the principles are built on greed and righteousness the desire to take or to gain without a fair exchange value the game is not fair for why should somebody gain or guess I mean just guessing can you imagine somebody who gets her A in the KCSE and they simply sat in the exam room and guessed or anything they just guessed or less speculated of course those who are fun of gaming in football will say no, pasiwa tunakakulit man tunakulit game kuna odds and all that yes they are but it's still a guess work the other addiction addiction that I need to talk about that is becoming very common is what is now refined by SM5 the diagnostic and statistical whereby when you get your phone the first thing you do is go to a site your favorite site and with WhatsApp now you need to sit down and calculate how many hours you spend on WhatsApp or on your phone you'll be surprised I will be surprised myself too I'm a user but we are saying then this cyber addiction can even go further where we have cyber sex addiction compulsive use of internet pornography adult chat rooms and fantasy sex it can come silently young people today are talking about of course people are talking about instead of texting they talk of sex thing so you chat and you're chatting sexual content oh how are you let me not go there I'm in the holy ground but you understand what I'm talking about then when it becomes a room whereby the exchange you're having is sexual connotation and is addictive so you look forward to going to that room when will everybody go to sleep so that I can go into my room there are cyber relationship addictions where addiction to social network and chat rooms becomes also a common thing there's a net compulsive what you're talking about gaming stock trending there was something that was trending they call it what there was something that was trending recently bitcoins was there something called bitcoins yeah it was excited about becoining but then all of a sudden I don't have the current details but it suddenly just sank I don't know what it's doing now so all this we are calling them obsessive addictions internet disorders they are built on compulsive disorder which we call the CD compulsive disorder means that you find yourself repeating things without even thinking about them on the same category of addiction sex also a pattern of out of control sexual behavior and fantasy which is repeated regardless of the consequences of self or others you're not concerned about what happens to you when you practice or when you engage in those sexual encounters and also the primary goal is actually to fantasize and of course sexual addiction as a pattern of out of control whether it's porn the sites and it turns out that studies show that people who engaged in extra marital sexual addiction disorders are unable to enjoy their conjugal privileges because all their energy is used in the wrong way so family breakages are likely to come when instead of using your bedroom with your lovely partner you're using the cyber sites with the known people and you're paying dearly you're tired and gone and of course don't forget because of this we can have a lot of sexual transmission sexual transmission diseases like HIV because of change of partners some of it is not online for sexual addiction it's not necessarily online in Panguakando it's a common thing in Kenya and so we need to see these destructive behaviors and how we can find help and hope again is the cycle that keeps on turning because the cycle of addiction is continuous the continuous cycle is I mean you experiment with the drug or the chemical or the experience and after experimenting then by experimenting we mean that you're trying to find how is it like out of curiosity or out of peer pressure or out of the thrill of adventure or out of rebellion you want to see how does it how does it go how does this game look like how does this this drink taste and after that becomes you don't stop at that because then there is the motivation for socio acceptance you have met with people you are not doing it alone and you start to find that to be a functional individual you must get into the network of those people who are using with teenage challenges peer pressure it becomes very difficult and not only young but even the old people the peer pressure is high they are calling you where are you what are we doing today and so it becomes a social network most of the social then we have the stage the stage that we call the experimental stage where we use to suppress feelings or to enhance feelings or to this inhibit behavior at this stage you are feeling low unless you drink and so to suppress that feeling of feeling low you enhance the behavior of happiness all this inhibition is whereby you are thinking about a problem this comes a lot with people who are stressed and they say that I am feeling stressed let me just take something to forget about all this inhibition the problem has not gone but it will still be there but you will not be thinking about it of course you wake up in the morning and then it becomes habitual and you see that habits are building blocks to the character so when it becomes an habit then we are talking about dependence and the progressive life of an addict is centered around coping and working around the discomfort that comes with addiction and the impending challenges and now the drug becomes medicine for all the problems you have been having at habitual stage the next stage that we go to is compulsive now compulsive is whereby you don't have a choice in the addiction rooms or in the addiction counseling we talk of a man that a man walks into the pub and takes a drink and then the drinks asks for another drink I hope you are getting this and then the drink asks for the man so when a man walks into the pub sees a waiter nilete moja and the waiter serves him one drink and then after taking that drink he wanted to take only one drink and go home so the drink that he has taken will ask for another what drink and the second drink that he has asked for now will ask for the man and tell him you are now my what my control and he will stand up on the table and make a round of calls that's our dictionaries it becomes a vicious circle it's a battle that requires us to continue to keep our hearts guided and like Paul is saying in the text that we read that for that which I do I allow not for what I would that do I not but what I hate that I do if then I do that which I do not want I consent unto the law that is good now then it is no more I that do it sin that dwells in me will want to see whether addiction is sin when you are addicted to something are you sinning are you sinning and father says for I delight in the law verse 22 but I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin in my members look at this that there are two laws in play here Paul is saying verse 23 that I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind the law of my mind is I should keep myself sober that I can be vigilant that I can be able to overcome but the law of sin is also fighting and Paul in verse 24 expresses desperation and says ho wretched man that I addiction is wretched it is exhausting fighting to take control of your life that is being stolen away from you for the choice that is being stolen from you and Paul is asking who shall deliver me from this body of sin and I thank God Paul says in verse 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord so then with the mind I myself serve the law but with the flesh the law of sin and verse 8 verse 1 he says therefore there is no condemnation which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit what a joy this evening that is hope in our wretchedness in our addiction whatever it is we will okritu yes when we cry Christ is saying I died on the cross of Calvary for you Christ says in fast John 1 verse 9 that if anyone says they have no sin they lie and the truth is not in them but if we confess our sins it is faithful just to forgive us of all our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness no addiction that Christ's blood cannot deal with therefore our battle is and won at the cross of Calvary and that's why the song says then we need to sound the battle cry because we need to rise this tendance because we are the strength to make the fall and we shall prevail thanks to the victory that Christ has won at the cross of Calvary that's no addiction that is going to put me down Christ has won this battle for me it caused me to experience peace by staying my mind in him I said in verse 6 verse 3 it will keep in perfect peace whose mind is staying with them the only strategy that we can keep ourselves soba is by staying our mind in Christ Jesus when the battle the battles of addiction whether sex addiction whether drug addiction whether internet addiction whether shopping addiction whatever addiction it be our battle is won by staying at our mind at Christ and this causes brethren to be always on the frontline of the battle at the frontline you see the enemy face to face and because the battles won I like the way Paul says I mean Peter says after you have put on the armor what does he say stand and see that the Lord will fight the battles for you it's my prayer tonight that wherever you are those who are with us here in our church and those who are watching online that you're thinking through your life and you're saying yes there is something I'm addicted to and I want to break this cycle I want to promise you there is hope in Christ Jesus that's why our freedom and our peace against the enemy of the society is only won through Christ Jesus I want to invite us to sing this song again the song that we had sung before Coristan song sound the battle cry and then we will have a closing prayer song number 614 sound the battle cry faster please come and say a closing prayer and commit yourself to the Lord as we commit ourselves in this battle for a word of prayer precious
