SELF DISCIPLINE
By
self discipline, I mean being able to control the way you behave or respond to
a given situation and make yourself dot things that you believe you should do

obtain the price (greatness) it is doing what is demanded and not what is convenient,
it is the key to success, the gateway to distinction, the guarantee for dignity
and the key to relevance. When you are not disciplined, you can as well forget
about success. As a student, you should be able to go extra mils by studying
hard while others are fast asleep. As a worker or a business man, you should be
diligent, dedicated and be punctual at the place of your work and be ready to
put in extra time and efforts, if necessary. As a minister of the gospel, you
must discipline yourself not o live to the way others do. You must be
disciplined enough to put in extra effort in fasting, prayer and in studying of
the word. You must go at least a step higher than the laities. Remember
success in life and ministry do not come by chance, neither is it meant for the
wreck less; otherwise Samson, Esau and Judas Iscariot won’t have missed
it. Put on the virtue of self discipline.

So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable. Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
