Protect yourself!

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

Imagine a city without walls. It's dangerous. No wall, no protection. Without walls, the city can be attacked any time. A person who lacks self control is like a city without walls.

Jesus is the vine, we are the branches and we bear fruit. As we stay connected to the vine, we receive the life and the ability to manifest the fruit of the spirit in our lives. So the key is to stay connected to the Vine. As a believer, self control is a fruit of your born again spirit. It must be exercised and developed. Failing to walk in self control makes you vulnerable to attacks. Self control is like a wall of protection for you. It will protect you and keep you safe and prevent many unnecessary outcomes. You have the self control of Jesus in you and you can walk in it. One of the ways to do so, is by acknowledging that you have all the self control you need. Believe and confess that you have the fruit of self control in you. The confession of the fruit will result in the manifestation of that fruit in your life and situation. Everything in the Kingdom of God works by faith. Faith believes with the heart and speaks with the mouth. Faith acts on the word. Faith prophesies. Faith celebrates.

Self control will protect you. So believe and speak that you have self control and that you are walking in it. Stay connected to Jesus, the vine through prayer and the word. Confess 'The day I accepted Christ, I have the self control of God in me. I am a self controlled person. I am not led by emotions, feelings or excitement, I am lead by the word and by the Spirit of God. No matter what situations or challenges I face, I speak the right thing and I do the right thing for I have the self control of Jesus in me and I am as self controlled as Jesus himself. Thank you Lord Jesus. Glory to God'
