Week 2: Using the Bible for Guidance

Today’s Easy Task:  Create strategies to build self-control

How to rock this task: 

  • Be honest about your weaknesses 
  • Ask the Holy Spirit to partner with you to carry out Self control 
  • Create clear plans and specific strategies to combat your weaknesses 
  • Remember scriptures that empower you to resist in the midst of temptation  

Today's Devotional:

This week focus on using the Bible for guidance.

You were created with a spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). You are a spirit that has a soul that lives in a body.

  • Your spirit is what you are.

  • The soul is who you are your mind, will, and emotions.

  • The body receives through your senses - hearing, tasting, seeing, touching, and feeling.

  • The mind is the center of your soul.

    According to Myles Monroe, a very renowed minister. The soul is the mediator between the spirit and the body. So, whatever the soul receives from the senses, it will deposit into the spirit. You must regulate what your soul receives because it will be deposited into your spirit. Be careful of what you listen to because it can mess up your whole life (Galatians 5:9). Make sure your soul isn’t influenced by lustful things picked up through body senses. Instead, make sure your soul is influenced by scriptures.

    Scriptures daily renews your mind, will, emotions. This renewal takes place because you are feeding your mind things related to God. Every time you read, pray, study the bible, watch Godly things, participate in Godly activities, you are flushing out toxic habits that lead to addiction and temptation (Colossian 3:2, Romans 12:2). Ask God to always fill you with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). For it is a gift from God above (Acts 2:38). The sweet communion of the Holy Spirit that gives you self-control, aka strength and power (Acts 1:8). The Holy Spirit provides you with a spirit of excellence and extraordinary success.

God, I thank you for giving me self-control through the partnership of the Holy Spirit. This partnership allows me to learn and grow in power and strength.

Please help me to take heed and follow those strategies so I can have the spirit of excellence and success in my life. In Jesus name, Amen
