Self Control Series: What Is Self-Control?

Self-control or temperance is a discipline of self, self-restraint, the will-power, strength of mind and your will to live up to your set principles.

It is the self-will to restrict indulgence in certain things that may seem irresistible to you. It is a gift of God by His grace and through the inward working of the Holy Spirit but it is you who has the capacity to use it or not as you will. Galatians 5:22 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”

According to Paul the Apostle, it is, beating your own body, bringing it into subjection so that after showcasing the greatness of God we be not castaways (1 Corinthians 9:25-27). In order for you to become a world Olympic champion, you will need to spend long hours in preparation and training.

Self-control

Winning a great accolade is not about beating perceived opponents, it is about beating yourself and overcoming your past record, your body weight, your mobility and all. Christian brethren, some of these things we should not just say, this is the devil who caused me to sleep with him/her, to be poor, to steal, to take drugs e.t.c.

Yes, the devil is real and does so! But most of our predicaments are as a result of our lack of self-control.

Before you fight anyone please fight yourself, have self-control!

Receive Jesus Christ today and go to church for spiritual fellowship.
