Self Control Series: The Greatest Revelation I Got From An Unmarried Priest

Ladies and gentleman its, not you who has a problem but the problem is with me, the ego, the real essence that makes me, the hard-drive in me. 

The self in me has desires that oppose the nature and will of God Romans 7:18-25 "For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.  For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.  Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.  I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin."

Priest gives out the Lord's Body

I once asked a certain Roman Catholic priest if he did not have had problems with the opposite sex coming to tempt him since he had done the oath of celibacy.

He spoke to me very frankly and said, “Apostle I do not have any problem with any lady that tries to seduce me, it's easy to quickly figure that out. The problem is when I feel for a lady and not when she feels for me.” Hey, I realized that the problem is not with them but with me. 

It is true it’s easier to control temptations from others but who will control me when I become the temptation. I now know that even God will (not “cannot”) control me.

If I decide to go to a bar right now, even with the level of anointing and vision I have, God will not force me to the pulpit, I will go to the bar, so this then means that another has to control me, in short, me has to control me, I have to control myself, self-control as God gives me ability through the Holy Spirit who dwells in me.

I cannot control you, your wife cannot, your spouse cannot your boss cannot the police are not able, even the army may control my behaviour but not me in me, God will not but only you are able to control you.

Before you fight others, fight yourself, control yourself!
