“Just like a city lying in the open and without surrounding walls, so also is a man who is unable to restrain his own spirit in speaking.” (Proverbs 25:28)

A city without surrounding walls is exposed and vulnerable. Nothing protects it. Nothing prevents the enemy from entering.

The same is true of a person who cannot restrain his own spirit in speaking.

Master yourself!

Do not allow your anger to speak for you.
Do not allow your emotions to control your tongue.
Do not say everything you feel.
Do not let every provocation force a response from you.

Sometimes, the greatest victory is not in answering, but in knowing when to remain silent.

Your mouth can build, but it can also destroy.
Your words can heal, but they can also wound.
Your tongue can bring peace, but it can also create conflict.

That is why Scripture says:

“The one who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.” (Proverbs 21:23)

A person who cannot restrain his spirit is like a city without walls—open, exposed, and vulnerable.

But self-control gives you a spiritual boundary. It teaches you to pause before you speak, to think before you react, and to choose your words wisely.

You do not have to respond to every provocation.
You do not have to win every argument.
You do not have to say the last word.

Sometimes silence is strength.

So today, ask God to help you master your spirit, guard your tongue, and control your words.

MASTER YOURSELF!

Build the walls again.

“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” (James 1:19)

«Comme une ville forcée et sans murailles, ainsi est l’homme qui n’est pas maître de lui-même.» (Proverbes 25:28)

Une ville sans murailles est une ville exposée. Elle est vulnérable aux attaques, parce que rien ne protège ses portes.

Il en est de même de l’homme qui ne sait pas se maîtriser. Lorsqu’il ne contrôle ni sa colère, ni ses paroles, ni ses désirs, ni ses réactions, il devient lui-même une ville sans murailles.

Une provocation suffit pour le faire exploser.
Une tentation suffit pour le faire tomber.
Une blessure suffit pour le pousser à se venger.
Une émotion suffit pour lui faire prendre une mauvaise décision.

Maîtrise-toi !

Être maître de soi ne signifie pas ne rien ressentir. Cela signifie ne pas laisser ce que tu ressens prendre le contrôle de ta vie.

Tu peux être en colère sans pécher.
Tu peux être tenté sans céder.
Tu peux être blessé sans te venger.
Tu peux avoir beaucoup à dire et choisir pourtant de te taire.

La maîtrise de soi est une muraille qui protège ta vie.

Ne laisse donc pas chaque émotion devenir une décision. Ne laisse pas chaque provocation déterminer ta réaction. Ne laisse pas chaque désir devenir une action.

Apprends à te gouverner avant de vouloir gouverner quoi que ce soit autour de toi.

La Bible nous rappelle que «le fruit de l’Esprit, c’est […] la maîtrise de soi» (Galates 5:22-23).

Alors, aujourd’hui, ne cherche pas seulement à changer ce qui est autour de toi. Commence par te maîtriser toi-même.

MAÎTRISE-TOI !
Car celui qui ne se maîtrise pas ressemble à une ville forcée et sans murailles.

Shalom !

«We break down every thought and proud thing that puts itself up against the wisdom of God. We take hold of every thought and make it obey Christ.»(2 Corinthians 10:5)

There are thoughts and reasonings that rise up against us: words spoken to discourage us, plans designed to harm us, unfair judgments, hatred, or intentions aimed at bringing about our downfall.
But we are not called to passively accept everything that is built against us.

In Christ, we have been given spiritual authority to break down every reasoning that contradicts God’s truth, to reject words that predict our failure, and to stand firmly on what God says about our lives.

When we know that certain people hate us, reject us, or desire our downfall, our response should not be hatred for hatred.
We place those people in God’s hands.
We pray that their thoughts will change, that their hearts will be touched, and that their intentions will be transformed.

For we cannot control the thoughts of others, but we can break down everything that rises against the truth of God, resist evil, and believe that God is able to transform even an adversary into an instrument of peace.

So do not allow the reasoning of men to become the reasoning that governs your life.

What God has decided for you cannot be cancelled by what someone thinks against you.

Break down the reasonings.
Take every thought captive.
Make it obey Christ.
And let God deal with the hearts of men.

«If God is for us, who can be against us?»(Romans 8:31)

Shalom!

«Nous renversons les raisonnements et toute hauteur qui s’élève contre la connaissance de Dieu, et nous amenons toute pensée captive à l’obéissance de Christ.»
(2 Corinthiens 10:5)

Il existe des raisonnements qui se dressent contre nous : des paroles prononcées pour nous décourager, des projets conçus pour nous nuire, des jugements injustes, des pensées de haine ou des intentions qui cherchent notre chute.
Mais nous ne sommes pas appelés à subir passivement tout ce qui se construit contre nous.

En Christ, nous avons reçu une autorité spirituelle pour renverser les raisonnements contraires à la vérité de Dieu, refuser les paroles qui annoncent notre échec et nous tenir fermement dans ce que Dieu dit de notre vie.

Lorsque nous savons que certaines personnes nous haïssent, nous rejettent ou désirent notre mal, notre réponse ne doit pas être la haine contre la haine.
Nous remettons ces personnes entre les mains de Dieu.
Nous prions pour que leurs raisonnements changent, que leurs cœurs soient touchés et que leurs intentions soient transformées.

Car nous ne pouvons pas gouverner les pensées des autres, mais nous pouvons renverser ce qui s’élève contre la vérité de Dieu, résister au mal et croire que Dieu est capable de transformer même un adversaire en instrument de paix.

Ne laisse donc pas les raisonnements des hommes devenir les raisonnements qui gouvernent ta vie.

Ce que Dieu a décidé pour toi ne sera pas annulé par ce qu’un homme pense contre toi.

Renverse les raisonnements.
Capture les pensées.
Soumets-les à Christ.
Et laisse Dieu s’occuper des cœurs.

«Si Dieu est pour nous, qui sera contre nous ?»(Romains 8:31)

«Dukubita hasi impaka n’ikintu cyose kishyiriye hejuru kurwanya kumenya Imana, dufata mpiri ibitekerezwa mu mitima byose ngo tubigomōrere Kristo.»
(2 Abakorinto 10:5)

Hari impaka n’ibitekerezo bishobora kwishyira hejuru biturwanya: amagambo avugwa agamije kuduca intege, imigambi igamije kutugirira nabi, imanza z’abantu zidafite ukuri, urwango, cyangwa imigambi igamije kutugusha.

«Dushingura impari n’igishizwe hejuru cose, kihashiriwe kurwanya ukumenya Imana, dufata mpiri ivyiyumvirwa mu mitima vyose, ngo tubigomorere Kristo.» (2 Ab’i Korinto 10:5)

Hari impari n’ivyiyumviro bishobora kuduhagurukira: amajambo avugwa kugira ngo aduce intege, imigambi itegurwa kugira ngo itugirire nabi, imanza z’abantu zitari iz’ukuri, urwanko, canke imigambi igamije kutugusha.

Ariko ntiduhamagarirwa kwakira gusa ikintu cose kiza kuturwanya.

«Mbega kunywa inzoga n’icaha?»

Inyishu ntiri mu vyiyumviro vy’abantu, ahubwo iri muri Bibiliya.

None Bibiliya ibivugako iki?

Bibiliya ntivuga gusa iti: «Ntimunywe inzoga.»
Ahubwo iramagana ku mugaragaro ubusinzi, kurenza urugero no kubura ukwigumya.

«Ntimukaborerwe vino, irimw’ ubuhumbu, ariko mwuzure Mpwemu.» (Abanyefeso 5:18)

Umukristo ahamagarirwa kuguma afise ubwitonzi, ari maso kandi yigumya.

None rero, ntubaze gusa uti:
«NDEMEREWE KUNYWA INZOGA?»
Ahubwo umukristo akwiye kwibaza ibibazo bikomeye kuruta ico:
Iyi nzoga iriko irantegeka?
Iriko ironona ubushobozi bwanje bwo guca imanza neza?
Iriko ironona umubiri wanje?

Iriko irahinduka ingeso sinkibasha kubaho ntayironse?
Iriko irantandukanya n’Imana?
Mbega kunywa kwanje kurashobora gutuma uwundi atsitara mu kwizera?

Nimba inzoga zigutsitaza, zikagutera kubura ukwigumya, zikakuzanira umubabaro, zikakubuza amahoro, zikonona amagara yawe canke zikagenda zigutandukanya n’Imana, hitamwo ibindi.

“Is drinking alcohol a sin?”

The answer is not found in people’s opinions, but in the Bible.

So, what does the Bible say?

The Bible does not simply say, “Do not drink alcohol.”
It clearly condemns drunkenness, excess, and the loss of self-control.

“Do not choose to be inebriated by wine, for this is self-indulgence. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:18)

The Christian is called to remain sober, watchful, and self-controlled.

The problem is therefore not only what you drink, but what that drink does to you.

If it begins to control your behavior, cloud your judgment, destroy your peace, or make you lose self-control, then you need to stop and ask yourself one question:
WHO IS CONTROLLING WHOM?

The Bible says:
“It is a luxurious thing, wine, and inebriation is tumultuous. Anyone who is delighted by this will not be wise.”
(Proverbs 20:1)

Alcohol can impair judgment and lead a person to do or say things they will later regret.

That is why the Bible calls us to wisdom and self-control.

Paul declares:
“I will not be mastered by anything.”(1 Corinthians 6:12)

Let us also remember that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit:
“Do you not know that your bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?” (1 Corinthians 6:19)

So, do not ask only:
“CAN I DRINK?”
Beyond this simple question, the Christian should ask deeper questions:
Is this drink controlling me?
Is it affecting my judgment?
Is it harming my body?
Is it affecting my family and relationships?
Is it becoming a habit I can no longer live without?
Is it drawing me away from God?
Could my drinking cause someone else to stumble?

If alcohol causes you to stumble, makes you lose self-control, brings you sadness, destroys your peace, harms your health, or gradually draws you away from God, have the courage to make a new choice.

Your freedom is worth more than a drink.
Your fellowship with God is worth more than a habit.
And your life is worth more than anything that could control you.

PRAYER:
Lord, give me wisdom and self-control.
Let nothing become my master, and let my choices glorify Your name.
Help me to take care of the body You have entrusted to me.
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Shalom!
