The Fruits Of Being Discipline Follower

Discipline is the cost price for growth. If you want to grow in life, discipline is what to pay. Discipline takes you out of your comfort zone and makes life temporarily uncomfortable for you. Trust me, it's better to suffer temporal discomfort than to live an uncomfortable life. I once decided not to eat until I've read at least one chapter of a book in my library on a daily basis. It's probably the most difficult decision I've had to make for myself, but improving my intellectual power at the expense of feeding myself was a trade-off that I was willing to make.

That also means that I'd prefer to lose weight than to lose worth. I struggled to keep up when I began; but today, I comfortably read a chapter even before 6am, every day. Phones with low graphics and lesser functionalities hardly consume battery life. But if you want improved graphics and functionalities, then expect a lesser battery performance. Come to think of it; if I chose battery life over functionality, then I may not have maximized my writing potentials. I'd probably be writing down my ideas in a diary, hoping to show someone every day.

I perceive that the reason why many people are not growing is because they're not willing to trade-off their comfort. The demands of growth may affect your beautiful moments now, but they would definitely create beautiful effects in your future. 

GROWTH IS NOT EASY. IT'S A PAINFUL AND EXPENSIVE PROCESS. THE EARLIER YOU SUBSCRIBE TO IT'S DEMANDS, THE BETTER YOU GROW.

 Having said all of that, you must know that self-discipline is not self-wickedness. If you've become so addicted to watching movies every day, then instead of torturing yourself from not watching at all, you can cut it down to watching one movie per day. Then slot other productive tasks into those saved movie hours. As I conclude, while discipline may not be self-wickedness, it also means being hard on yourself to get what you desire. If you find it difficult to read daily, be like me, don't eat till you've read.

The season where your uniqueness will be celebrated has finally come! To secure victory in any situation, first secure God's presence. Moses understood this principle in Exodus 33:15 when he told God that "if your presence will not go with us, then don't send us...". In Ps 114:3, the bible tells us that when the Red Sea saw the people of Israel coming, it hurried out of their way, and the water of the Jordan River turned away.

The Contemporary English Version says, "When the sea looked at God, it ran away, and the Jordan River flowed upstream". If you remember the scenario at the Red Sea, it never divided until Moses introduced the power of God. Situations will only remain as long as you've not engaged His presence in those situations. When God arises, enemies scatter. When they reached Jericho, they were faced with a wall that was impossible to be brought down. But God told Joshua that all they needed to do was to engage His presence again. So, Joshua arranged for some priests to carry the ark of God round the wall for 7 days and 7 times on the 7th day, as God instructed.

At the 7th time of the 7th day, they all shouted for joy, and the wall fell down flat. That wall was an impossible case, but God's presence must have softened it within the first 6 days. When Jesus was told that Lazarus was dead, He stayed back for some days to secure God's presence. And when He finally went to honour their call, He raised Lazarus back to life. He spent two days securing God's presence, and spent just a few minutes Lazarus from the dead. God's presence softens complex situations. “When God is in your midst, the opposition may be seeing you, but they'd be feeling God. That's what happened to the Jordan river.”

Many people religiously believe that singing praise and worship to God is the only way to secure God’s presence. Personally, I’ve been a victim of that religious fantasy. There are many other ways, even more potent ways, to secure God’s presence. And God has inspired me to share 4 of them in this book. Trust me, your life is about to experience a definite transformation. Alright, let’s begin…
