SPECIAL EDITION
TOPIC : ITS TIME FOR A NEW BEGINNING
TEXT 1 CORINTHIANS 9: 26-27
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
Discipline is a major catalyst for success.
Discipline is the ability to conquer yourself.
He who conquers others is strong but he who conquers himself is mighty.
David conquered Goliath but could could not conquer the bed of adultery.
Whatever you want to achieve this year is possible if only you can pay the price to discipline yourself.
Excelling in anything takes discipline, talent is good but not enough ingredient in making a person great.
There are many people with great talents who are the greatest problems to themselves. No matter how gifted a person is, without the application of self discipline, that person can rise only for the fall to be great.
The great apostle Paul said that he keeps his body under and brings it under subjection.
This means that he keeps it under control.
The flesh hates order, but it must be controlled.
When your body is under control, it means that you have developed a strong character.
Character is what you are in the dark when no one is monitoring you.
Your greatness this year will be decided by the level of improvement made in your character.
Where you are now is where your character brought you.
Are you part of the church 21 day fast?
Are you one of those dodging the fast?
If you are, your problem is not a demonic one but simply that of indiscipline.
I pray that your effort in discipline your body, your mouth, your tongue, your sleep and your belly this year will yield great dividend for you in Jesus mighty name.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
