CONFESSION OF AN ADDICT - Abiodun Adeboye

Morning,this Poem was inspired by a person's who am praying for to overcome addiction.
Many young people have been bounded into one addiction or the other from, pornography, smoking, drugs, alcoholism and so on.
The longing in the heart of young people is to have something or someone that will make them feel loved, people who are addicted to this thinga are mostly lonely.

When you see an addict don't condemn the fellow,show love to them, don't be hard on them. They need your prayer,pray that chain over the person be loosed.

Please pray for your children or loved ones, that they may be kept from any snare, pray for people who have been caged in any addiction.

*CONFESSION OF AN ADDICT*

*GENESIS*
I am caught bitwit
Not knowing which way to turn
The log upon my eyes has dimmed my vision that I can see no more.

It started like a little drop
I cared not,its just a handful drop
I saw it as nothing wrong

Alas, the little seed is now a tree
Difficult to pull down
A mountain too high to climb.

At first it seems I could handle it on my own
But right now, it's really breaking my bone
Paralysis from head to toe

*MY SILENT PAIN*
Close companion don't understand my struggle
My parents say am no more noble
And now what should I do?

No one seems to understand me anymore
Who will give me a real succour?
And rescue me from my silent turmoil.

For what I want to do, that I do not
But that which I don't want, that I do by default
Am a slave to my own body

Once the trigger comes
I become powerless to resist
Too weak to say *No*when it comes.

*THE WAY*
In my tears I heard a sweet song
Amazing grace a singer sung
It's not in the melody but lyrics of the song

That really came alive in me
Showing me a way out of my sin
Is their a way for a sinner like me?

I knew I was lost
The singer said He came for the lost
To pick the broken out of the dust

My voice went out loud
I didn't care about the crowd
The saviour must hear me cry aloud.

*FREEDOM*
Wow, I felt a deep joy in my heart
It was as though someone touched my heart
The weight and burden of sin lifted, just like that!

The chain that held me bound was loosed
My legs can now really move
The enemy has really Lose

And now I can sing
Am free indeed
Unto my dear saviour I cling

*FREE INDEED*
Addiction broken
Oppression broken
Confusion broken

Old things passed away
When Jesus came my way
And showed me the way

Am a new creature
Washed in the blood of my saviour
Walking in His grace and splendour.

Hallelujah.
