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...

THE GRACE OF GOD

Date 📅 26th October, 2022 Topic The Grace of God Living Scripture 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. The grace of God is very important to everyone both saved and unsaved though as many as believe in Christ Jesus receives of the grace and truth at work in the Lord. This is what sustains us as children of God throughout our lifetime here on earth. God's grace for the world is general but limited and that for His children comes only in Christ Jesus, for as many that want to partake of this kind of grace must be born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This brought about the testimony of brother Saul turned Apostle Paul who testified to be the least of all the Apostles and disciples of Christ. He was a persecutor of the gospel a child of Abraham under the common grace but not under the g...
