Paul said, “I discipline my body and make it my slave” (Corinthians 9:27). He put his body under his subjection. Failing to put one’s body under one’s subjection is a sin. The body should be put under our subjection.
Many have sacrificed their time in the presence of God/prayer in the morning or night for sleep. Many have sacrificed their time in the Word of God for movies, games, sports, gambling or for food/snacks.
Many are unable to serve the Lord because they pay much attention to eating, drinking, outward appearance, television, jobs and their love for money and material things.
Others pay too much attention to their personal grooming. They always insist on good clothes. Any negligence in bridling ourselves in these areas is a sin.
Brothers and sisters, we must come to the Lord and deal with these things. If we are not dealt with, we cannot enter into a life of victory in God.
“I discipline my body and make it my slave” (Corinthians 9:27).
