The Proverb Challenge: Day 25

The Proverb Challenge
Day 25

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
Proverbs 25:28 KJV


The above verse talks about Self Control. The ability to rule over your spirit is called Self Control. Solomon compare a man without self control to a city without walls. Such person is vulnerable. A city without walk is defenceless, so also is a man without control.

People who cannot control themselves are like cities without walls to protect them. Such people will ways be in trouble. They are very much opened to attack. A man without self control is helpless.

Self control is the ability to subject yourself under control. Imagine  a car without the brake controls, it will eventually have an accident, so also is a man without control.

Everything about you must be under control; appetite, speech, spending, desires, anger etc. Self control require discipline. A disciplineless man can not control himself. Self control is the ability to say stop or no to certain things. 

The devil is seeking for people without control because he knows such people can be manipulated.

How do we Control Our Spirit?
Through disciplined habits
Through Prayer and Fasting
Through the Word of God

The Holy Spirit is there for us. To help us to put our spirit in control.

MAIN POINT: A man without self control will eventually find himself in trouble.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

If Men Were God

He sends  rain  on the just and on the unjust. - Matthew 5:44 It's raining as I type this post and I remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:45 where he talks about  God sending the rain on both the just and unjust. God won't because are a sinner or a bad personal withdraw the rain from Falling on your side. One special trait we are to emulate from God is that we should not discriminate. If men were God, the rain will be raining only on the good, the sun will be shinning only on the perfect. We humans readily discriminate, we isolate those we feel are not perfect or good. We see those who have sinned as been candidates of hell as if we haven't sinned before. One major problem of our society is discrimination. Even in church, we discriminate, we see that prostitute and we readily condemned her. We readily forget that as children of God, we don't just do good to good people, we are to do good to everybody. It doesn't matter how bad a person might be, you ...
