Prayer 🙏 Session 27th January, 2025
Key 🔑 in Prayer 🤲
SCRIPTURE: 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.
1 Corinthians 9:27
Discipline has been confirmed to be a major key or pathway to a life of excellence and distinction.
In Scripture, discipline is seen as being hard on yourself so it can be easy in life. Discipline is rejecting the unprofitable in favour of the profitable; it is delaying gratification to establish satisfaction.
Discipline is living a life that is under control, a life that is scheduled, a life that is connected to productive and profitable routine. You know, routine determines result; schedule determines success, and rules make rulers. That is why you cannot see a person who is a rule breaker become a real ruler.
The difference between where you are today and where you will be tomorrow is a product of your saying “NO” to some things and saying “YES” to other things. It is not possible to see distinction without determination.
Discipline is the willingness to pay the price or the capacity to give what it takes to arrive at excellence. Discipline or determination affects excellence.
Bishop David Oyedepo has defined discipline “as doing what is required to get at what is desired”.
Doing what it takes to get to where you want to be. If the top is your desire, then what to do to get there is called discipline. There is no distinction for the undisciplined.
Prayer 🤲:
- LORD I make up my mind to embrace discipline at all cost in Jesus’ Name.
- LORD I refuse to be lazy in order not to end in ordinariness in
Jesus’ Name. - Oh Lord, I ask that You give me the grace to be disciplined at all cost. I reject the life of laziness and compromise, in
Jesus’ Name. - LORD I will embrace the discipline at all times. I will begin to pay attention to minute details in all that I do in Jesus’ Name.
Prophetic Pronouncement:
Grace for a disciplined life be released on you now in the Name of Jesus’ Name.
