Self-control (SOLUTION TO FOOLISHNESS)

DATE: September 17, 2021

TOPIC: Self-control (SOLUTION TO FOOLISHNESS)

BIBLE TEXT: Proverbs 14v17 – A quick tempered man acts foolishly and without self-control…… (AMP)

Self-control is the ability to control or bring under subjection one’s desire and impulses or will power. God has given us the grace to control our desires by His potent words of life in the bible. When we utilize the spirit of self-control we walk in wisdom and calmness (peace). A particular king in the bible, anointed by God through Prophet Samuel of old ruled in Isreal but lacked self-control. This king made grievous mistakes which made him lose his kingdom and throne to David the son of Jesse.

Know this you can be anointed and spirit filled but you need to subject your souls to the will of God daily else you’ll yield to the devil and he can obsess and possess your minds and cause you to lose control of all the things you handled well before causing a grievous damage. Don’t lose control of your thoughts, emotions and character. Deny the works of the flesh entry into your minds and allow daily the Holy Spirit to bear His fruits upon your spirit.

Don’t forget, a Christian can be a fool when he/she rejects the ways and principles of God. A fool is not an insult alone but a description of an ignorant soul who sees the truth and ignores it and continues into folly.

Proverbs 17vs28 – Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace (has self-control) is counted wise; and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

Prayer: Heavenly King, I pray that you forgive my foolish acts and guide me daily as I yield to the Holy Spirit and live by your words.

Insight: Seek Gods wisdom and crave for the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

Sinner to Saint

Date 📅 20th October, 2022 Topic Sinner to Saint Living Scripture Romans 3:23 KJV For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; The journey of our convertion and transfiguration started when we decided to let go of our self and old ways and tune into the will of God by accepting Christ as Lord and Savior. Our Lord Jesus Christ is in the business of turning sinners to saints. Because of the fall of man from the beginning it was written that all mankind have sinned and come short of the supply of God's mighty glory. Which is why Christ Jesus died that we might be heirs and like heirs with Him in the kingdom of God. Without Jesus no one can be saved, all men without the knowledge and salvation of Christ are sinners. No man was born a saint, we are washed from stains, sins and disobedience into saints (children of God). The Bible is not full of men born as saints but rather men and women washed by the Blood of the Lamb of God and by the Word of God. Father Abrah...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
