The poorest people on earth are not without money but without Jesus Amen ! Your first need and need is the forgiveness of eternal security sins, salvation and eternal life – “ Behold, the Lamb of God who has raised the sin of the world’।And he is atonement for our sins, and not only for us, but also for the sins of the whole world। The only Creator God – Ekmatra Caste Man – Ekkatra Blood Red – Ekkatra Problem Sin – Ekkatra Solution Jesus Christ Do you know that there is eternal life even after the deer only God loves you ! Because God loved the world so much that he gave it to his only born Son – No one who believes in him is unhappy, But he may have eternal life, but God reveals his love for us: Christ died for us when we were sinners। Because you are saved by grace by faith; And it is not from you, it is God’s donation; He who is waking up to my door every day hears me waiting for the pillars of my doors, Blessed is that man। But God reveals his love for us: Christ died for us, while we are sinners। But in all these things we are even more than the winners by him, who loved us। Because I have been completely unarmed, neither death nor life, nor angels, neither the princes, nor the rights, nor the things that come from now, nor the things that come later, neither the heights, nor the deep, Neither any other creation can separate us from the love of God in our Lord Christ Jesus। Love is in this – not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son to be atone for our sins। For God made sin for us, who did not know that we would be the righteousness of God। Jesus said to him: “ Bato, truth and life are me; No one comes to the Father except me. ” Your word is a light for my feet, and a light for my way। I cried before Miramire fell bright; I hope in your word। My eyes are open at night’s guard to meditate on your word। And call me on the day of the storm; I will deliver you, and you will raise me। He cures those with broken hearts and binds them to the ointment of their injuries। You will be in me and ask for whatever you want if my words are in you, and that will be done for you।

The 10 Traits of Someone Who Has Self-Control

“He who

 

 

is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city” (Proverbs 16:32). And on the other hand, “Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls” (Proverbs 25:28).

Self-control is a mighty good thing to have. And as rare as Spanish doubloons in the Sunday offering plate.

“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23). So, the much-desired quality of self-control is found among the nine traits making up the “fruit of the Spirit,” which is also a pretty solid description of Christlikeness.

The ability to master one’s own spirit is not as recognizable as its opposite, the failure or inability to control one’s inner self. That trait–a spirit out of control–is quickly on full display whenever its owner is offended, attacked, questioned, called to account for something he/she has done, or otherwise challenged. The uncontrolled spirit has no defenses against temptation, no muscles for hard tasks, and no patience with difficult people. “Love one’s enemies”? (Luke 6:27) The uncontrolled spirit has difficulty loving its own friends and thus has nothing in reserve for its opponents.

The angry motorist determined to set another driver straight cannot control his own spirit. The disgruntled employee who returns with a gun to settle accounts cannot control his own spirit. The gossip who simply cannot resist the urge to pass along the juicy morsel about someone cannot control their spirit.

The list is endless. And so depressing.

So, let’s take the positive approach! Here, straight out of the wonderful book of Proverbs, are ten traits of the person in control of his/her own spirit.

1. You can take chastening from the Lord and appreciate discipline when you have it coming.

“My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor detest His correction; for whom the Lord loves, He corrects, just as a father the son in whom he delights” (Proverbs 3:11-12).

Ask any employer. Having to deal with an employee who is doing wrong but cannot take criticism well is one of his/her hardest jobs. That’s why Proverbs makes so much of the ability to take correction.

2. You do not take offense easily. You are hard to offend.

“The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and his glory is to overlook a transgression” (Proverbs 19:11). “Love…is not provoked” (1 Corinthians 13:5).

“He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, but he who is impulsive (“short of spirit” literally) exalts folly” (Proverbs 14:29). This is the description of a person strong in self-esteem, certain of their mission, and settled in their inner spirit. It’s how we want to be. (Want to see that very description of our Lord? Look at the first four verses of John 13. This is what gave Jesus the strength and humility to wash the feet of the disciples.)

3. You can receive criticism without feeling you have to defend yourself.

“Rebuke a wise man and he will love you” (Proverbs 9:8). “A fool despises his father’s instruction, but he who receives correction is prudent” (Proverbs 15:5). And, “Rebuke is more effective for a wise man than a hundred blows for a fool” (17:10).

I have yet to meet a man who enjoys being criticized. And yet, it’s a constant in any life. There is no position worth having in this world where criticism is not a fact of daily existence. So, anyone who intends to do something of value in his lifetime would do well to master the art of receiving criticism without feeling the need to defend. Even if you say “I was only responding to the points he made,” will appear you are defending yourself. (And yet, there are times when we must explain and even defend. Pray for wisdom.)

4. You can choose your words carefully.

“A man has joy by the answers of his mouth, and a word spoke in due season, how good it is!” (Proverbs 15:23). “Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him” (Proverbs 29:20).

The person who takes the time to consider what he is about to say and then speaks wisely is in control of his own spirit. How often have we heard people bragging about their inability to do this very thing: “Well, that’s who I am! If I think it, I say it!” (The rest of us roll our eyes and think, “Dear Lord, deliver me!”)

Of Proverbs 31’s “virtuous woman,” it was said, “She opens her mouth with wisdom and on her tongue is the law of kindness” (Pr. 31:26). May that be said of us.

5. You guard your tongue.

“Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles” (Proverbs 21:23). A prayer I’ve prayed almost daily for decades is Psalm 141:3 “Set a guard upon my mouth, O Lord. Keep watch over the door of my lips.”

Fully one-half of the problems I have had throughout my long life were self-inflicted, and most of those involved the inability to keep my mouth shut. They said of Job, “Your words have upheld him who was stumbling; and (by your words) you have strengthened the feeble knees” (Job 4:4). Somewhere I found a variation of that, which says: “Your words have stood men on their feet.” I like that so much, it has been my verse and my constant prayer. (We’ve all seen the power of words to knock people off their feet! The stories we could tell! But here and there among us, you will find those golden individuals with the power to stand people back on their feet using nothing more than words. I want that to be me! And so do you, I wager.)

6. You are in command of your appetite.

The appetite is a spirit within us, and sometimes it feels demonic, demanding, and out of control!

We smile at Proverbs 23:1-2. “When you sit down to eat with a ruler, consider carefully what is before you, and put a knife to your throat if you are a man given to appetite.”

To be sure, the control of the appetite at all times–for food, success, glory, sex, anything! – is a huge accomplishment.

7. You can do good deeds without mentioning it to anyone.

“Whoever falsely boasts of giving is like clouds and wind without rain” (Proverbs 25:14).

But that’s “falsely boasting.” What about if I really gave that much money? Made that great sacrifice? Did that sacrificial act? Can’t I tell that? Answer: Only in extreme situations. Only when doing so helps others and honors God.

Our Lord said, “Let not your left hand know what your right is doing” (Matthew 6:3). Do your good deeds in secret, Jesus said (Matthew 6:2-18).

8. You can resist the urge to meddle in another’s business.

“Whoever passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a dog by the ears” (Proverbs 26:17).

John MacArthur notes: “The dog was not domesticated in Palestine and thus to grab any dog was dangerous. The aggressor deserved to be bitten for his unprovoked act.” (Ask any law enforcement officer about having to walk into a domestic fight. Many an innocent person has paid the ultimate price.)

9. You are able to respond to a harsh putdown with gentleness.

“A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” (Proverbs 15:1).

Sometimes, when an anonymous critic leaves a devastating criticism of something I’ve written on my website, the temptation to respond ‘in kind” is powerful. But how much stronger–and more difficult–it is to say simply, “Thank you. You may be right.” And perhaps, “Pray for me.”

10. You can make yourself do the hard tasks, rather than give in to the urge to take the easy path.

“He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich” (Proverbs 10:4). “The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy man will be put to forced labor” (12:24).

One who rules his spirit can make himself get out of bed and go to work, get in the car and seek out a difficult person in order to make peace, and write a check to a great ministry when he wants so much to indulge himself with that money.

One who rules his own spirit can be gentle with others and strong with himself.

A prayer I once heard and have used ever since says: “Lord, give me a heart of fire toward Thee, a heart of flesh toward my neighbor, and a heart of iron toward myself.” Amen to that.

For he that findeth me shall find life, and shall receive mercy from the Lord. But he that sinneth against me, harmeth his own soul; All those who hate me love death.’ Proverb. 8:35-36 But God shows his love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 He committed no sin, nor was any guile found in his mouth; He did not rebuke in return; He did not threaten when he suffered, but committed himself to the righteous judge. He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the cross, that we might die to sins and live to righteousness; By His stripes you were healed. 1 st. Proverb. 8:35-36 Nor is salvation in any other; For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 Jesus said to him: “I am the way, the truth, and the life; No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, even those who despise him; And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. So be it! Amen! Revelation 1:7 And he was clothed in blood; And his name is called ‘Word of God’. Revelation 19:13 “And behold, I come quickly; And I have my reward to give to every man according to his work. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” Revelation 22:12-13 Note: Today people don’t even have time to go to heaven. Believe in Jesus Christ and you will receive forgiveness of sins, salvation and eternal life.
