Do we exercise self-control?

Everyone of us has his own will.  In other words, we have our own ability to exercise belief.  It is within our own will that we can become resolute and determined to exercise self-control in any area of our life.  A minister I know used to say "If it is going to be, it is up to me"  So much in life is determined by the choices and decisions that we make.  Our Heavenly Father does not leave us alone with just our will-power alone.  God also provides for us the spiritual force of self-control.  It says in Galatians 5:22-23(NKJV)²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, self-control..."  So if we would like to put the spiritual force of Heaven behind our will-power, just pray and release the spiritual force of self-control in your spirit and soul over the area in question.

Are we faithful?

Faithfulness is not as prevalent in our society as it used to be.  When one is faithful, you would say that they are a firmly devoted person.  When one is faithful you would say that they are full of faith.  You would say that person is worthy of trust or belief.  You could also say that a faithful person is consistent with the truth.  So are we faithful?  Faithfulness is something that we should pursue.  Our friends, supervisors, co-workers and family admire a faithful person.  It is a spiritual force that will esteem you in the sight of God and in the sight of man.  In Galatians 5:22 (NIV) the bible tells us that..."the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness..."  So if we release the spiritual force of faithfulness into our spirit and soul, we can be faithful.

God will repay us

Unfortunately in life sometimes things happen to us that are not fair.  Someone cheats us out of a promotion.  Because of a bad relationship, we have lost years of our life.   Someone takes from us what rightfully belongs to us.  How do we respond in this situation?  Do we try to take revenge?  If so, we shouldn't, because God is our vindicator.  God has said in his word that vengeance and recompense belong to him.  We are to place these matters in the Lord's hand and then do what he instructs us to do.  We can also declare the Lord's favor over these situations as well.  If we will set the table in this way, the Lord will bring us out better then before.  (Hebrews 10:30)

Do we trust God?

In a relationship there always has to be trust.  This is true with our spouses, friends and co-workers.  Moreover, this is true with our Heavenly Father.  If we have trust with our Heavenly Father then we know that he is a very compassionate God.  He is moved to help and support us in our needs and wants.  We also know that our God is able and willing.  Our Heavenly Father has the power to minister to us in any area of our life.  With complete trust in God we know that he will always tell us the truth.  He will tell us what we should hear not necessarily what we want to hear.  If we will listen to the truth that he delivers to us and act on it, it will always guide us to a wonderful and blessed conclusion. 
(Proverbs 3:5-6)

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge

We as God's children need to develop a healthy fear of the Lord.  What do I mean by this?  This does not mean that we walk around afraid and in dread of our Heavenly Father.  That He is going to send a lightning bolt out of heaven and hurt us in some way.  But it does mean that we hold our Heavenly Father in reverence.  In other words, we elevate our Heavenly Father and His word so high in our life that there is nothing more important in our thinking and seeking.  We place God so high in our life that everything else is subordinate to Him.  Our Heavenly Father has to remain supreme in our lives.  (Proverbs 1:7)
