Topic: Self-control As The Way To Victory

The ultimate objective in life is not to avoid a battle with the darkness. The ultimate objective in life is to win. The ultimate strategy in life is to be smart enough to beat the adversary who wants you dead. The ultimate strategy of life is to win regardless of the odds. In order to play this game of life, in order to win at this game, you need to understand the importance of self-control and self-discipline. For without self-control and self-discipline, no strategy to win, no matter how well designed, will work. It takes self-control and self-discipline to carry out any plan of attack against the adversary or carry out any kind of defensive measure. You can have all the hope in the world, you have all the resources you will ever need, you can have all the intelligence and talent anyone could ever hope to have…but without the ability to control yourself in every situation, you are defeated before you start. To win over sin and temptation requires you control who you are. To fully love others and fully love God, requires you control who you are. The greatest tragedies of life are not the unforeseen events that strike us without warning. The greatest tragedies of life are those times when the promise of life is not realized because persons did not have enough self-control and self-discipline to pursue the promise.
