SPONSORING YOUR OWN SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT-PART 4

Next, we are admonished to sponsor knowledge with temperance. Temperance refers to self-control or discipline. It's a blessed thing to keep your body in check. It enhances your prosperity. We are told to use the knowledge of who we now are in Christ to master our bodies. One of the greatest truths to know about oneself is this: you are a spirit not a body. Therefore, you are not bound by the feelings of your flesh. Doing what must be done at the expense of what you feel like doing, is key to success.
