SELF CONTROL

1 Thessalonians 4:4

that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable
--------------------------------------------
    God in his making of creation, He made flesh also. The flesh He made is like another consciousness that rides together with man's spirit. But the flesh's consciousness can command patterns that are weird and not good for a child of God. We may ask , why didn't God make the flesh perfect so that we may live under super perfection without sinful desire and without compromising to our own rules ? The flesh is made to teach us the line between good and bad; and how to run for the good and please the creator. We wouldn't be able to please the creator if there is nothing wrong to denounce. It helps us to understand what godliness means .

Joseph was tempted by a woman, a wife to his master. Joseph didn't give the flesh time to think of how such would be an opportunity. The flesh likes shortcuts to happiness and so it will give short answers to what would bring happiness. If stealing would bring the happiness that is derived from something, the flesh can suggest that.

The man God made is a complex company. You are not standing all alone. There are ministers in the spirit that are there to serve you. How many they are could be a good question. But even demons have deployed their own agents to aid in accomplishing their missions in your life. And now in the spirit realm, there is an army of Governors and a government that is for you. The government that has proposers and opposers. They bring in different suggestions and it is up to you to rule out what is right.

There is a lot to do that you should spend more time knowing the right things to do, the right things to say. In a world that is teaming up with different forces, of which many can tilt you from the right path, you need to be aligned and streamlined in a frequency that produces the right fruits. In whatever ambitions you may also have, you need self control. Self control is not the use of hard rules on yourself. It is the understanding of yourself and what to rightly do to bring desired ends. Understanding your weakness and strength and how to compose yourself to bring the right end. You can't survive above average if you can't control beyond average.

                  GOD BLESS YOU

FORWARD

FORWARD Luke 13:33  In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—... --------------------------------------------    A Levite in the desert thought was cunning. After killing the Egyptian, he sauntered back to the community. Little did he realise that he was noticed by his fellow and that the news had gone about faster than it could. Knowing this, he fled to Midian where he met the Lord. And being asked by the Lord to rescue his people from slavery, Moses refused. He thought that role was better with someone more superior. But after the Lord insisting, he took the task. The people who were thought as slaves were no lesser to stubbornness and disrespect. They gave Moses hard time. But one thing that happened was forward movement.  Even the Lord used lots of wonders to sustain them through the journey and yet many died from their stubbornness. But regardless of their deaths, the journey went forward. God moved forward. Moses faced the worst of trial...

THE CREED AT THE THRONE

THE CREED AT THE THRONE   Psalms 40:1  I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. -------------------------------------------- There are of course alot of times we pray for something and we feel we need that fast enough. And if am not mistaken , it is most of the times that we pray. We simply want answers right then. And some demand for the answers right away. But either way, you want God to come to your aid at the time you think He should come. But have you ever wondered why some people pray and receive their answers alittle fast compared to a similar prayer someone else had? Well that happens, you can pray and I pray the same thing yet we receive answers at different times.  With the scripture above, interpreting it may seem easy, but diving into it could seem a bit hard. The psalmist says, he patiently waited, then the Lord came to him and heard Him. The important note here is patiently waited. And secondly we see that the Lord comes...

OLDEN STRENGTH

OLDEN STRENGTH Psalm 77:1 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life thinking about the future and forgetting the past. Craving for the future is one thing I have realized does not end. Even the very rich still have cravings. There can not be a moment where cravings end and the mind is inactive only thriving in gratification. Such a moment is only created by us. Anyway, that was a by- the- way. Our point starts from here. The future does not hold the roots but the past does. The roots are not from the sky but are from where the tree started. What makes the tree strong are the roots .  What makes the future strong are the roots. They are the past. You cannot know where you should go unless you know where you came from. How typical you may know where you came from is another factor.  Knowing that God is great is not knowing the future that holds. Knowing that Go...
