What is Self-Control?
Instant obedience to the initial promptings of God's Spirit.
It's related to the motivational gift of Teaching Scripture Text: "And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit." - Galatians 4:24-25 Some of the Attributes: Ruling my own spirit; instant obedience to the Holy Spirit, developed through outward discipline. (a.c.e.) Bringing my thoughts, words, and actions under the Spirit. Learning to quickly identify and obey the initial promptings of the Holy Spirit. Questions to ask yourself: 1. Do you have any habits which you know grieve the Holy Ghost? 2. Do you how to discern a prompting of the Holy Ghost? 3. Do you have regular times of fasting? 4. Are you committed to giving a good report and reject gossip? Projects and Bible Study Questions to help instill this quality: How did Jesus illustrate self-control? The word for self-control in the Bible is often the word for "temperance." What does this mean? How do the two relate? Name another Bible character who demonstrated self-control. |
