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.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

Breakfast with Jesus

DATE 24th June, 2023 TOPIC Breakfast with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 65:4 KJV Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. The Psalmist was a peculiar man and one that feared the LORD and walked in the paths of righteousness. In his meditation and Psalms, he learnt to dine with Jesus Christ early and through Psalms, from the 63rd to the 66th, he found a way to breakfast with Jesus. The first contact we should have everyday is Jesus Christ, to receive of His glorious satisfaction early, contentment and to be filled with the goodness and mercy He gives His children daily. When a child eats with his parents there's that joy and peace within, such comfort and full assurance. Jesus Christ always ate with our Heavenly Father while He was here on earth, He sought after the LORD daily and was satisfied with the glory and goodness of the Father. Each...

Forgiveness of Sins

DATE - April 7th, 2022 TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area...
