In the previous sermon we saw from the scriptures how true virtue must be supplemented with knowledge in order for the Christian to grow in grace. In this sermon Pastor Mbewe continues to show how self-control must be added to the knowledge because it is the right application of the knowledge in the life of the believer. --Self-control is defined as mastery or power, especially over ones self. This power or mastery is in the realm of fleshly desires and actions. It is a growing self control built on the knowledge of God that allows the Christian to say no to immorality more and more as he grows up.
