CONTROL YOUR APPETITE TO LIVE LONG (Saturday, 18th April 2026)
Text for Today: 1 Thess. 4:1-7 “Learn to appreciate and give dignity to your body ….” (vs. 4, MSG).
Self-control is the power within you that holds the reins of anger, intolerance and impulsiveness. You must learn not to stress yourself too much, because no matter how bad a situation is, it will change one day. Your body will always give back unto you the kind of treatment you give to it. Whoever is very careless with the way he handles his body should be prepared to manage crisis from time to time health wise. As we conclude our discussion on wonders of self-control today, the fifth wonder is that, PEOPLE WITH SELF-CONTROL MAINTAIN THEIR HEALTH. That way they can accomplish more and enjoy their achievements.
You need to be careful of what you eat and drink if you don’t want to cut short your life. Many people have gone to their early grave basically because they could not control their appetite. If you are forty years and above and you still consume sugar in high quantity, you are killing yourself gradually. There are many sicknesses and diseases that men battle with today that are not the handiworks of witches and wizards, but consequences of lack of self-control. If you eat everything that comes your way because you don’t want to be left out or cheated, you are not wise. Wisdom and self-control demand that you decide what is good for you to eat per time. When anyone gives me pack of wine or juice, I watch my children devour it without feeling cheated in anyway, because I want to live long. Also engage in regular exercise to keep the body fit.
You are a Champion!
Further Study: Prov. 23:1-12.
