Self-control (Fruit of the Spirit)

Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls. Proverbs 25:28

Self-control may limit us; However, self-control is essential in Kingdom leaders and people. An out-of-control life is open to all types of attacks from the enemy. Think of self-control as a barrier for protection and defense.

Self control is achieved by:

  • Submitting one’s feelings and thoughts to the Holy Spirit 
  • Seeking God for strength and perspective to manage your emotions 
  • Saying “no” to ungodliness and worldly passions
  • Living a godly, upright, and self-controlled life
