In May 2012, I was sitting in my garage smoking when Joseph Prince Ministries’ Destined To Reign came on air. In that particular broadcast, Pastor Prince happened to be talking about overcoming the addiction of smoking by declaring that “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” He specifically mentioned to declare and speak those words even if you are smoking and are holding a cigarette in your hand.

I have to admit I felt really awkward at first but I decided to do it. I wrote down the words and began saying these words throughout the days.

Within two to three days of doing this, I noticed my craving for cigarettes had weakened. Every day, the desire to smoke became lesser and lesser and by the first week in July 2013, I stopped smoking completely.

I thank God for His help and for the sermon that Pastor Joseph Prince preached that day. Thank you, Pastor Prince!
