BENEFITS OF DISCIPLINE 2!

BENEFITS OF DISCIPLINE 2!
I Timothy 6 vs. 6: But godliness with contentment is great gain. This is discipline! Many a time men lack discipline because they are discontented with what they have. The word covetousness means immoderate desire for the possession of something, especially for wealth. Much affection is set on worldly things; and not above. Colossian 3 vs. 2: Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. A man of discipline will be contented with what he has and won’t covet other’s wealth. Exodus 20 vs. 17: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his man servant, nor his maid servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s. Many people’s problem today is covetousness. A man that covets what others have is an indiscipline man. David coveted Uriah’s wife Bathsheba and devised means to kill Uriah despite his wives. This is indiscipline, the bible said but the things that David had done displeased the LORD.

Indiscipline displeases GOD, men of discipline please GOD; men of indiscipline displease GOD. 2 Samuel 11 vs. 27: And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the LORD.  Eli’s Hophni and Phinehas were punished by GOD because of their indiscipline. Gehazi’s covetousness and discontentment made him follow after Naaman. He desires bag of sheeps, oxen, olive yards, money rather than Elisha’s anointing. Naaman’s leprosy cleaves unto him and his seeds because of his greediness and covetousness. 2 Kings 5 vs. 26: And he said unto him, went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money and to receive garments, and olive yards and vine yards, and sheeps and oxen, and men servants, and maid servants? We are to take heed and beware of covetousness. Luke 12 vs. 15: And he said unto them, take heed and beware of covetousness; For a man’s life consists not in abundance of the things which he possess. Make contentment your watch word. Kindly, share with others. It is well with us.

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM Freedom is a state of being able to do what you want without anything stopping you. Galatians 5 vs 1 says: so Christ has made us free, now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to jewish laws and ceremonies. Christ’s death on the cross made us free, we are in bondage before, but Christ made us free. We are tied up in chains slavery to sins, but his death made us free. The bible said whosoever the son sets free, is free indeed. We have been set free, and we are free. Many misuse this freedom, many use this freedom to do the wrong things. Many still dwell in sins despite, this freedom. This freedom brings grace, love, purity and faithfulness. The bible said we can’t continue in sins and say grace to abound, GOD forbid. When you are in sin, your freedom becomes captivity again. That is why, you must flee from all appearances of sins. Paul said in Galatians 5 vs 13: For dear brothers, you ...

THE DUTY OF MAN

THE DUTY OF MAN Duty is that which one is morally obligated to do. A husband in a house is responsible for meeting his family’s needs. That is the duty of a husband. A wife is responsible for taking care of the children and also house chores. That is the duty of a wife. A school teacher’s responsibility is to teach the students. That is the teacher’s duty. A student’s responsibility is to go to school, listen to what the teacher teaches and study them. That is the student’s responsibility. Our Creator GOD created everything for a purpose. Every creation has a duty to carry out. Unfortunately, many creations have failed in their duty. When a man doesn’t carry out his duty he is termed a failure. It causes the Creator GOD nothing to replace men with stones when they fail him. I pray may you not fail GOD!                However, there is time for everything. Don’t get excited and get carried away in this world. D...
