We often find ourselves complaining about not having enough money, talent or influence. Most people wake up every morning thinking how they can get more money or grow their influence. Even their goals are based on that.

Girl, while money, talent and influence are all good, there is something better that you can work towards in this year, and that’s a GOOD HABIT!

Why is a good habit so important?

Throughout the Scripture we see God looking for something that we already carry so He can “take it over” to bring about a mighty victory.

Little Samuel had a habit of sitting and ministering before the ark (1 Sam 3:1). God saw that consistency and decided to “take it over”, and multiply it to feed a nation.

God spoke to him and called out his name and made him His messenger and Prophet to Israel (1 Sam 3:19).

David had a habit of writing psalms and singing them. Today we have a whole book of his psalms that the whole world is reading.

The same principle, unfortunately, also works when we have bad habits.

Samson had a bad habit of an uncontrollable longing to be with women. The enemy took that habit and worked through it to destroy God’s plan for his life.

Judas had a bad habit of putting his hand in the money box and taking what was not his. His life and ministry ended with that one bad habit (John 12:6).

Are bad habits the reason for delays in your life?

Many times we blame God for our failures and pray unceasingly for a breakthrough or promotion!

But, could our delays be because of some bad habits that we are not willing to break?

Psalm 32:9 says, “Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.”

That’s a person without a control switch; he is led by a bad habit.

So many people make big goals at the start of a new year. Can I encourage you this year to build at least 2 good habits that God can take over and use it for His glory.

God can take the good habit that you have developed and use it to open the heavens to rain down a blessing. This month put your heart and mind to develop a ‘good habit’ because God can take that habit and make it HIS ‘HABITATION’.
