THE WAY OF DISCIPLINE

SCRIPTURE: He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding. Proverbs 15:32 (NIV).

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There can be no destiny without discipline and there can be no future without an adventure.

 

Discipline can be defined as the suppression of base or unnecessary desires. It is the ability to have self-control over the immediate in order to achieve the ultimate. Discipline says, ‘Pay now, so you can play later.’ The tragedy is, many people ate their ‘today’ yesterday and some are eating their ‘tomorrow’ today on the frequency of the bankruptcy of discipline.

 

Beloved, there can be no destiny without discipline and there can be no future without an adventure. The degree of your discipline determines the quality of your destiny. To reach where you desire, you must do what is required.

 

The truth is, there is no future for the lazy and there is no destiny for the lethargic. To follow feelings at times is to end in failure. For instance, when you wake up in the morning and say, ‘I do not feel like going to work today; it is about to rain, I will just remain on my bed’, your feelings have laid the foundation for your sack.

 

Today, I prophesy on you the impartation of the spirit of discipline that will guarantee your destiny fulfilment in Jesus’ Name. 

 

Remember This: There can be no destiny without discipline and there can be no future without an adventure.

 

ASSIGNMENT: 

1.Be determined to be disciplined in every area of your life – be it the area of finance, time management, spiritual life, etc.
