Genesis 49:4 “Turbulent as the waters, you will no longer excel, for you went up onto your father’s bed, onto my couch and defiled it.”
 
In the case of the tribe of Reuben, Joseph prophesied, " Turbulent as the waters, you will no longer excel, for you went up onto your father's bed, onto my couch and defiled it” Although Reuben was the firstborn, the kingdom was given to Judah and the priesthood to Levi, leaving Reuben’s tribe to be small and non-influential. Why? Because of his sin of lust and impulsive behavior! Listen today!

An emotionally stable leader is admired because they reduce chaos and build trust. 

Friend, the most important thing that I want to drive across today to each one of you is to have control over your emotions, are you listening? 

What is a turbulent spirit? It is an aggressive, boisterous, rash and harsh spirit, which is just the opposite of a calm spirit. There was a curse pronounced on Reuben because of his turbulent spirit, his father prophesied:

 ‘Turbulent as the waters, you will no longer excel.’ Some sins leave a scar that is difficult to erase. Listen carefully!

* Just because you are engaged, it gives you no guarantee to swiftly get into physical relationship before marriage. Say ‘no’ to lust.

* Do not rashly, speedily agree for a ‘date’, arrest the demonic lust and pray for divine guidance.

* Do not raucously and speedily get angry and spill words which would be difficult to gather later.

* Do not hastily jump into EMI loans and get yourself into a mess, gather patience to wait for God’s time of purchase

* Do not hurriedly file for divorce at the drop of a hat; God at times allows you to handle difficult situations and tough people for a greater purpose of development of your character; endure the heat.
