The Christian temperance


 “And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;” 2 Peter 1:6

It is important for you to have self-control as a Christian in every situation you find yourself. You must be the one telling your flesh what to do and not the other way round. The enemy can take down any Christian who lacks temperance or cannot control himself at any time.

“He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.” Proverbs 25:29
“He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.” Proverbs 16:32.

How do you handle anger? How do you handle lust? How do you handle temptations? If you want to conquer the world, you must conquer yourself first. You may not want to conquer the world but I am sure you want to live a successful Christian life, then temperance is a must. You must be able to say no when it is necessary and say yes when that is the way to go.

May you be able to control yourself when dealing with situations and people in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh Lord, help me to conquer myself first in Jesus name.
