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!!!
