VICTORY OVER SELF – Part 1

MEMORIZE: “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.” Proverbs 16:32 

EXPOSITION:

Dearly beloved, one of the most crucial victories is that of victory over self. Overcoming yourself is greater than overcoming a city. When you win the battle over yourself, other battles become easier to face and win.

THE 3 MAJOR ENEMIES ARE

(a) Death: This is the last enemy everyone must face (1 Corinthians 15:26; Hebrews 9:27).

Be happy that Jesus has conquered death for us (1 Cor.15:51-57)

(b) The devil: He goes about seeking whom to devour(1 Pet 5:8),but God's eyes go to and from to show us mercy(2 Chronicles 16:9)

Also Jesus defeated the devil. So all left for you to do is to rebuke him.

(c) Yourself: Self goes with you everywhere 

- self sleeps with you

- self wakes with you and is your biggest ally but God is always for you (Rom 8:31)

All forms of other enemies bow at the name of Jesus as you get aligned with Jesus(John 3:16).

EXAMPLES OF THOSE WHO COULD NOT CONTROL SELF:

1. Cain: He was a murderer so became a first born vagabond(Genesis 4:1-14)

2. Esau: He couldn't control his stomach and ended up forfeiting his birthright (Gen.25:29-31)

3. Samson: Despite his great anointing, he fell due to lust and ended up a blind prisoner of his enemies(Judges 16:1-end)

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father thank You for saving me.

2. Lord Jesus, as You overcame, let me overcome all temptations that come my way.

3. Father, by Your power: keep me holy and pure till the very end.

4. Holy Spirit, help me to pray victorious prayers.
