Topic: DISCIPLINE- A CRITICAL INGREDIENT FOR SUCCESS
Biblical Text: ‘ But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself ‘. [Daniel 1:8]
Discipline can mean a set of rules and regulation; self-control to prevent abuse. Sunday did not take his studies seriously during his primary and secondary education. He manages to pass and get minimum credit required to be promoted to the next class. Most times, his teachers will write in his report sheet, He is very intelligent but too playful. When he got to the university, he decided to discipline himself and regulate the excesses preventing me from achieving the best in academics. You can guess the result? He came out with a good result in the University. It took Daniel, discipline to refuse to eat of the abundance at the kings table and opt for pulse and water. His discipline paid off. Daniel and his friends that disciplined themselves looked better than all the other people feeding off the kings table. God also gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom that made them ten times better than all the magicians in a foreign land. It takes discipline to pray, to read the Word of God, to evangelize, to carry out priority tasks of each day. Without discipline, success will only be a wish word and not a reality.
KNOW IT ∞ It takes discipline to succeed in life.
READ IT ∞ Daniel 1:8-20
PRAY IT ∞ Father, I receive grace to discipline myself and do the things that will take me to the top.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ 1 Kings 5-8
