Devotional Guide, Today’s Reading Saturday, 24th August, 2024

Comment: One of the unclean habits of the flesh which some have taken to and still find it difficult to quit is the unwholesome act of smoking tobacco. Despite adverts on the print and electronic media that warns grievously about the dangers of smoking, some are still neck-deep in it. Smoking makes the mouth, teeth and hands to become dirty besides the deadly lung cancer it carries with it. Some get involved in smoking cigarettes just to belong, and later on become chronic smokers. The singular fact that smoking kills one gradually should be a deterrent for one to be determined to quit such act. Also, the understanding that smoking is uncleanness which can prevent one from entering God’s Kingdom is a wake-up call to quit such unwholesome and life-threatening act. – Ephesians 5:3-8; Galatians 5:19-21.
