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!!!

WORK ON THE WORD 2!

WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.               Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24:  But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...

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.

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...
