A. Teacher should allow the students mention some means of expressing habits.
i. Habits are expressed in the way you wear clothes, sleep, eat, etc. Every habit you pick up is something you have developed in the mind, in your conscious and subconscious state (Prov. 23:7).
ii. The things that you consistently do on a daily basis determine your body shape, strength, and stamina, as well as many other things.
iii. According to Joshua 1:8, your success s in your habits. Jesus kept to the habit of preaching (Matt. 4:17), praying (Lk. 5:16), reading (Lk.4:16), and fasting (Mk. 9:28-29, Matt. 4:2).
iv. Habits can either make or break your chances of achieving your lifestyle goals as well as increasing quality of life and promoting longevity.
v. Some of the sicknesses and negative things you attribute to the devil are also traceable to your habit.
B. An unhealthy habit could be fear like Job’s, fornication like Samson’s, negative pronouncement like Balaam’s, irresponsibility like Adam’s, personality defects like Moses’, or adultery like David’s. The consistency of your habit turn to your behavior.

2. HABIT FORMATION AND CONTROL
A. During childhood, habits are picked up from parents, caregivers, friends, teachers, or society. However, forming a habit may include the following stages:
- CUE: this is where the mind is consciously analysing your internal and external environment for hints of where rewards are located. Like what information, business, or idea we bring rewards. When you cue on the word of God, ideas for good success drop into your spirit (Joshua 1:8).
- CRAVING: The que is the first indication that you are close to a reward, it naturally leads to a craving. Cravings are the motivational force that may lead to forming a new habit. What you crave is the reward it delivers (Philippians 3:10)
- RESPONSE: This is the actual habit you perform, which can take the form of a thought or an action (Proverbs 23:7).
- REWARD: This is where you get addicted to a habit. There are two rewards system here: it’s satisfies your craving and then it teaches you to come back (James 1:14-15)
B. If a behaviour does not complete this stages, is it will not become a habit. Without the first three steps, a behaviour will not occur. Without all four, a behaviour will not be repeated.
C. Therefore, to get rid of bad habits, carefully take the following steps:
i. Identify your triggers
ii. Focuses on why you want to change
iii. Enlist accountability partners
iv. Practice self control
v. Replace the habit with a good one
vi. Leave yourself reminders
