BREAKING APPROVAL ADDICTION

What this episode covers

Ephesians 1:6 (KJV) To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.   Approval addiction is defined as seeking the approval and validation of others to feel good about yourself. It can take various forms, such as seeking affirmation from peers, compromising the Word of God to please people, or posting pictures on social media for likes. Relying on the approval of others to determine the way we live and interact with others can make it challenging to distinguish between the opinions of our peers and the will of God. Furthermore, one’s actions and behaviour may be driven by what one believes will make others happy, even if it means compromising godly values.   Approval addiction is a common struggle, even among Christians, but it is a challenge that can be overcome. You can reject being swayed by people-pleasing and break free from the chains of approval addiction. How? It starts with recognizing that your worth comes from God. He has freely bestowed on you His grace and accepted you in Christ. Prioritize God’s opinion above all else and reject the need to please people. Remember, God loves you unconditionally, and His opinion is the only one that truly matters!   PROPHETIC DECLARATION I am loved and accepted by God. In Christ I am whole, perfect, and capable. I am not swayed by the opinions of others, for God has put His seal of approval on me!   FURTHER STUDY Ephesians 1:4-5; Hebrews 13:5-6    DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE COPY OF THE GOODNEWS DAILY DEVOTIONAL AT: www.goodnewsworld.com/goodnewsdaily
