Preacher: Pastor Benezet
Message: Self-Control
Without self-control, prayer becomes impossible. Proverbs 26:14.
One of the greatest weapons the devil uses against believers is laziness.
Laziness is the inability of the mind and spirit to control the body. Proverbs 18:19.
It destroys prayer life and cuts off communication with God. Matthew 26:40–41.
Laziness places a person in a state of lukewarmness. As believers, we are called to be hot and not cold. Revelation 3:15–16; 1 Corinthians 15:58.
There is always a reward for labour, but we must ask ourselves: What kind of labourers are we? 2 Timothy 2:3–6.
The Bible describes the Christian life as a fight that requires discipline and endurance.
The major characteristic of laziness is procrastination.
Procrastination often deceives a person into thinking they are not lazy.
Things to Note About Procrastination
1. Redeem Your Time — Ephesians 5:15–16
Time is one of the greatest commodities God has given to man, but laziness wastes time through procrastination.
