“He that hath
no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without
walls” (Proverbs 25:28)
The man who has no
control over his spirit is like a city whose walls are broken down. Such a man
is vulnerable to attack and anything could bring him down. The devil could come
into his life at any time and attack his family, his health, his business. It
is better to have self control than to be a great warrior that doesn’t have rule
over his spirit.(proverb 16:32)
A Christian who has
rule over his spirit is like a city fortified with protective walls that repel
any invader. He is well covered and gives no room to the devil. He doesn’t just
receive anything that comes his way, or accept every word he is told. He
doesn’t do just anything his mind tells him to do, he has God’s word as his
defense and standard. His spirit has gained the mastery over his mind and his
body because he has been transformed through the renewing of his mind.
Train your spirit
through the word; that way you will be able to decipher the good, the
acceptable and the perfect will of God and can choose the perfect will to walk
in it. As you continually study, speak and hearing the word of God, your faith
will be built and you will also be able to repel every negative move the enemy
throws at you.
Your faith is your
protective shield against all the wiles of the enemy, hence, the reason you
must spend time building your faith muscles. You need self control because
conquering yourself would be your greatest conquest.
