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! |
