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...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
