Alcohol, Can it Stop Me From Pleasing God?

By CHARLES FRANK UMOH

In the Christian world, we hold that every creature of God is 'good', each suitable for the purpose for which it was made. When any 'good' thing is used outside divine purpose, it becomes sin. This is the same case with Alcohol. As the Holy Spirit comes to fill believers, alcohol then loses its artificial place in man. There is no two ways about it.
What the natural man was trying to achieve for himself artificially; call it comfort, happiness, boldness, inspiration, motivation, attainment of genius, forgetting of sorrow etc. through the use of Alcohol and hard drugs, the God of love has come to accomplish even more in us through the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 3:20 says:
"Unto Him who is able to do more exceedingly and abundantly than what we can ask or imagine through His power(Holy Spirit) that is at work in us(who believe)".
To me, it is not just one hot commandment or another newly established bill signed into law restricting people from enjoying Alcohol whereby you are to be punished immediately for offending the legal system. No, but this is a royal law of love, it is the lifestyle of Spirit led Christians, a higher life indeed that has elevated you above the tendencies of your former carnal master - Alcohol and strong drinks.

This work from Charles Frank Umoh is a comparative study of the many Bible passages on the issue of Drinks alongside what views people held before and now. This is a good scriptural exposition of the case of wine and strong drinks. "He, who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches".

You can buy this book and buy the truth; it will save you from unnecessary harm.
