Self-control (SOLUTION TO FOOLISHNESS)

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

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
