TOPIC: PUT YOUR BODY IN SUBJECTION
SCRIPTURE: “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness (2 Peter 1:5-6).”
Temperance is from the Greek word “egkrateia” and it means self-control, the ability and will to control your impulses, to delay immediate gratification for a long-term gain. That simply means the ability to wait or hold on, saying “no” or “not now” to your impulses.
This was the virtue Moses displayed after he had been raised as a prince in Pharaoh’s house. The Bible says, “…when he grew up, refused to be treated as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to share the oppression of God’s people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin” (Hebrews 11:24-25 NLT). “What if I don’t have temperance?” someone may ask.
As long as you’re born again, you have the virtue of temperance. The Bible says it’s the fruit of the recreated human spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). The man who desires to operate effectively with this virtue must learn to control his senses. And that can be achieved by training your body. You have to discipline your body; break it the way you break a horse until it does what you say, not you doing what it says. If your body can’t be subject to you, then it means you’re a slave to your body. And you can’t do anything serious for the Lord if you’re body-ruled.
In 1 Corinthians 9:27, Paul said, “…I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection….” For instance, you can decide you’ll not sleep whenever you’re in church, or whenever you’re studying the Bible or listening to God’s Word; that’s temperance.
Also, when you fast; don’t find yourself going for food barely an hour into the fast. Part of the essence of a fast is to deny yourself the natural cravings in order to put your body in subjection to your spirit. You have the ability and will to control your impulses, to subdue your body and tell it what to do, and it’ll comply.
CONFESSION
I’m a soldier in God’s army, and I’ve crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Therefore, I keep my body under, and bring it into subjection. I have the ability and will to control my impulses, to delay
immediate gratification for a long-term gain, to the glory of God. I tell my body what to do, and it complies! Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY:
Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.”

DECLARE THAT AS YOU STIR UP JOY FROM WITHIN, GOD’S GRACE, GLORY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE SEEN IN YOU
Romans 14:17 “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Pray fervently in tongues of the Spirit, and thank the Lord for giving you such a beautiful, extraordinary, exciting, fulfilling, exceptional and excellent life; a glorious life that radiates joy, excellence and peace.”
Declare that irrespective of contrary circumstances, as you stir up joy from within, God’ glory, grace and righteousness are seen and manifested in you, in Jesus’ Name. DECLARE BLESSINGS AND LIFE TO EVERYTHING AROUND YOU
Titus 1:2-3 “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour”
Pray earnestly in tongues and speak blessings to everything around you. Declare that you bring deliverance to every creature in your world, taking them out of bondage and corruption, into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, everything in your world is always new, you are always advancing; life is working in everything around you and the supernatural is your everyday occurrence, because you’re manifesting eternal life, in Jesus’ Name.

Dear Father, I thank You for the wonderful works of salvation; thank You for the glorious Gospel of Christ through which life and immortality are unveiled. I am committed to its spread around the world, and many are brought out of sin, poverty and affliction into the glorious life in Christ.
Your Word is growing and prevailing in nations of the world, delivering men and women into their inheritance in Christ. I am emboldened, strengthened and fortified by the Spirit to do all that the Lord has called me to do. I am filled with miracle-working ability by the greater One who lives in me, energizing me from within!
I thank You for Your life that is at work in me, in every fibre of my being, in every cell of my blood and in every bone of my body. My whole being is immune to death, decay, and the corrupting influences in the world! My path is the path of life, righteousness, joy, gladness and peace forevermore. I walk in the light of my justification, rejoicing in the life of glory and righteousness in Christ!
I’ve been ushered into a life that is beyond the ordinary plane of natural perception. I flourish in the blessings of salvation— deliverance, divine health, preservation, prosperity and wholeness—consummated for me by the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
