TOPIC: DISCIPLINE FOR YOUR SUCCESS IN LIFE 

TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 2:3-5
3. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 

KEY VERSE: EPHESIANS 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Do not entangle yourself in affairs that have no contribution to your spiritual life, that will not help you achieve your goal in Christ. It could be in conversation. If while talking with somebody you discover that it is taking too long, you can decide to stop. By so doing, you are cultivating the art of self-discipline. 

The time you saved will play well on your spiritual life. Instead of spending time in vain visitation, you can decide not to go. Restrict yourself on places to go and not to go, journeys to make and not to make. This is personal discipline; bringing the excesses to bear on spirituality. 

Avoid things you would have wasted your life on without value, you by restricting yourself from them. It is like a man that wants to use money for something vital and so refuses to use his money to buy common things. Even cutting down on what to eat to control his expenses. He needs money to do something vital and if he uses up all the money to buy unnecessary things like clothes, chocolates, he will not have enough money for essential things. This is the art of discipline. 

In those days, my father told me that whenever he went to a restaurant, he would purposely not buy meat, because he felt he did not want to waste the money. He had children to take care of and if he asked the restaurant to serve him meat, and other things, he would not have enough money for vital needs. Thus, he would decide to give his stomach just what was sufficient for it. This is discipline. 

Now you want to go to heaven; the Bible says you must learn how to discipline your life so that you can have ample time to work on yourself for heaven. The Christian life is compared to a soldier. We are told the various kinds of drills the soldiers go through. If you are a soldier or have stayed with one, you will understand how they drill them. Even when the time does not call for it, the soldier man does it by himself, because he wants to have the proper shape and fitting. He wants to be active and combat ready. This is required in Christianity. Discipline yourself.

Thought for the day: Bring excesses to bear spiritually

Song for the day: Not by power not by might

Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 20-22

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
