Discipline by Victoriousmind(f): 12:29pm On Jul 05, 2020
Capacity can only be built in the place of prayer and studying of the word which means there is a need to be disciplined and consistent. Most people have different spiritual goals they want to achieve at the end of each year or even month. Making goals require you to be consistent and faithful as consistency is the root of all growth.

Jesus said in Matthew 26:41 that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, the grace is there for us as believers but what of the flesh. It takes discipline to kill the flesh, the flesh doesn’t want us to do anything Spiritual but it takes the grace of God and discipline from us. God won’t force anyone to do anything, He gave us will already and He has given us grace to do whatever we want to do which means it’s our responsibility to be disciplined.

Apostle Paul advises in 1timothy 4:7 that we should discipline ourselves into godliness. Daniel is a good example, he denied himself of so many things and even valued his time with God at the point of death. It is okay to make spiritual goals but are you faithful enough to achieve those goals. Social media has replaced our time with God, it is always difficult to leave our phones and even the television to fellowship with God. It takes discipline, God won’t force you to leave the TV or your phone.

Procrastination doesn’t start in a day, it is a gradual process. Yes, there are some days you won’t feel like praying but pray when you don’t even feel like praying. The struggle is between the Spirit and the flesh, never allow your flesh take dominion over your Spirit. You missed your private time with God today? Don’t allow guilt to take over you, go to God and talk to him and ask him to help you. Seek help from mentors and those that are ahead of you, get yourself an accountability partner and also a prayer partner.

Don’t only plan but look for ways to execute your plans.

Selah!
