BENEFITS OF DISCIPLINE

BENEFITS OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is a controlled behavior. It means self-control. It is a systematic method of obtaining obedience. It is a state of order based on submission to authority. To live a victory life on earth, we must be disciplined. Discipline is ever learning and comes to the knowledge of the truth. Discipline is godliness. Discipline is contentment. Discipline is brokenness. Discipline is a great gain. Being discipline in some areas in the sight of men looks foolish, but in GOD’s sight it is wisdom and it’s profitable. Show me a discipline man and I will tell you he is full of wisdom and knowledge. Show me an indiscipline man and I will tell you he lacks wisdom and knowledge. Ecclesiastes 10 vs. 10: If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength; but wisdom is profitable to direct. Discipline is profitable to direct. Men that exhibited discipline in the bible were men of wisdom and understanding.

 Our GOD is self-control; He expects us to be self-controlled in all our deeds. Self-control is one of the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5 vs. 22-23 (NIV): But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. A man of the Spirit will have self-control. A man of the flesh will lack self-control. A man of the Spirit will be subjected to the Spirit. A man of the flesh will be subjected to the flesh. Romans 8 vs. 5: For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Vs. 6: For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Men of the Spirit have life and peace; because he is spiritually minded. A man of the flesh is dead, because he is carnally minded. Galatians 5 vs. 16: This I say that walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Start this new week asking GOD for the grace to be disciplined in all your deeds and He shall grant thee. Kindly, share with others. It is well with us!!!

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
