1 Corinthians 9:27 (KJV)  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.

This is one verse that reminds all of us; from the highest to lowest, and from the most experienced to the newly born again, not to be complacent. Paul being the writer, even makes this warning very serious; this is the one who wrote extensively about grace; which unfortunately has been misunderstood by many and hence the abuse. If the teacher of grace, is warning us about the possibility of being a castaway; we ought to be very attentive to this caution. The body is no respecter of anyone; it doesn't matter how annointed you are, the body can bring you down if not kept under control. If Paul found the need and wisdom to keep his body under control and subjection; then we cannot choose to do otherwise. We must understand that the body is a free agent that wants to have its way. Like a wild animal that wants to run around and move away freely; we must force it to be chained and restrained, else it can cause problems for us. Do not trust your body under any circumstance. To be continued.

May we not underestimate our closest enemy. Have a blessed Monday.

Prayer: Please give me the wisdom to know to how control my body.
