    7 A Self- Disciplined Life– (November 13-17, 2023)


    Reflection
    As a child, did you find it easy or difficult to get to school
    on time? Why? Are you now able to come to work on
    time?
    Inspiration from the Holy Bible
    Do you not know that the runners in the stadium all run in
    the race, but only one wins the prize? Run so as to win.
    Every athlete exercises discipline in every way. They do it
    to win a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one. (1
    Corinthians 9:24-25)
    Why do we need to practice self-discipline?
    a. We need self-discipline to perform our jobs
    effectively and to pursue our dreams and ambitions.
    Some things as simple as waking up early, getting
    to school or work on time, meeting deadlines for
    reports, eating healthy food, getting regular
    exercise, and spending money wisely are indicators
    of self-discipline.
    So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just
    shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete,
    training it to do what it should. (1 Corinthians 9:26-
    27))

    b. We need self-discipline to train our hearts, minds


    and bodies. The ability to manage our emotions
    and desires, or their expression in our behavior,
    requires daily practice and repetition. Self-discipline
    begins when we master our thoughts. As American
    poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson says:
    "Sow a thought and you reap an action; sow an
    action and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you
    reap a character; sow a character and your reap a
    destiny.".

    For God has not given us a spirit of fear and


    timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. (2
    Timothy 1:7)
    And we are instructed to turn from godless living
    and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil
    world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to
    God. (Titus 2:12)

    Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give
    in to sinful desires. Do not let any part of your body
    become an instrument of evil to serve sin... So use
    your whole body as an instrument to do what is
    right for the glory of God. (Romans 6:12-13)
    Challenge
    What is our most significant learning today? How will we
    apply it to our own life?
    Prayer
    Praise God for His goodness and grace in our life.
    Ask forgiveness for our sins. Thank Him for the blessings
    we have received.
    If we have any prayer requests, let us pray for one
    another.
    We end the meeting with this declaration of faith: We
    move in faith every day because we know that without
    faith, it is impossible to please You, Lord. As we draw near
    to You, we believe that You exist and that You reward
    those who seek You. We serve only You, and You bless
    us. We know that all things are possible with You.
