If we want to receive the prize, what should we do? But I buffet my body and make it my slave. Paul said that he subjected his body; he was able to control it. Paul could control the lust of his body, the excessive demands of his body, and the desires of his body. He did not let his body get on top. He said that he buffeted his body and made it his slave. Whether or not a Christian can please the Lord depends upon whether he can control his body. Many people cannot control their own bodies. Whenever a little stimulus comes to their body, all kinds of sins result. We must see that all those who cannot control their own bodies will lose their prize and their crown. (Watchman Nee, Collected Works, Set Two, Vol. 29, Living Stream Ministry, Anaheim, California, U.S.A. 1993, p. 410) ministrybooks.org
