Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
TOPIC: TEMPERANCE (2)
Temperance is a continuous activity in as much we still have blood flowing through our veins, you do not get to a level and say "I now have a master of my emotions" because each day have his unique challenges hence the need to ofen depend on the Holy Spirit daily.
It takes a man of the spirit to exercise control over self. Nevertheless we have to take responsibilities for our emotions, thoughts, words, actions, passion, cravings or else it will destroy us if we do not exercise control over it. Just like peeing or defeacating, we know if we want to pee, we take responsibility by going to the toilet and get it out or else it will mess us up and bring about shame. Likewise our emotion, cravings, passion must be voluntarily put to check so that an outburst will not put us into trouble. The Holy Spirit will only remind you that If you do it, it is sinful, dangerous and have consequences but we have to take responsibility by taking actions that corresponded to what the spirit have told us.
Temperance is taking responsibility over your actions, words, thoughts as you yield to the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit will not do what you have to do, he will only guide, instruct, teach while you take charge over the self by deliberate and corresponding actions.
Prayer: Father help me to be willing to exercise control over my self as I depend on your Spirit in Jesus name.
