Spiritual Disciplines (part 1) by topshore(f): 2:42pm On Nov 03, 2020
Text: Psalm 2:1-2
Discipline is the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behaviour, using punishment to correct disobedience.
Spiritual Disciplines are habits, practices and experiences that are designed to develop, grow and strengthen certain qualities of our Spirit man.
It is important to develop deeper relationship with God. Spiritual Discipline helps us to develop better attitudes, more stable emotions, good thoughts and kindness towards all not only to enrich our lives but also to strengthen our relationships with God.

Forms of Spiritual Discipline
There are many forms by which we can discipline ourselves, some of which are:
1. Food
2. Sex
3. Emotions
4. Temperament
5. Tongue/Mouth/Utterances
6. Money, and so on.

The Ways to achieve the dicpline stated above are:
1. Chastity
2. Confession of sins
3. Fasting
4. Fellowship with the Brethren
5. Frugality
6. Giving
7. Guidance
8. Hospitality
9. Humility
10. Intimacy
11. Meditation
12. Prayer
13. Quiet Time with God
14. Reflection
15. Self-control
16. Servanthood.
17. Service to God and humanity with love
18. Simplicity
19. Singing praises and hymns to reverence God
20. Slowing to talk and listening more.
21. Solitude
22. Study
23. Submission
24. Patience
25. Perseverance
26. Forgiveness, and so on.

If we do not discipline ourselves, especially with God, He may cut off His lines of communication with us. We need to sharpen our antenna by totally submitting to Him in all holiness and this can be only through our Spiritual Discipline.

Remember, Jesus is coming soon. Repent and be saved. Jesus is Lord!

Peace!
