MFM Daily Devotional June 7, 2021 Outline

Personal discipline is the ability to control and motivate yourself to do what is right at the right time. Every average person hates discipline. But without discipline, it will be difficult to make reasonable progress at anything in life.

We have to set rules and regulations for ourselves in line with the word of God and diligently follow them in order to achieve any meaningful goal. Self discipline is a proactive measure that we can take to limit reactive actions from others or even from God.

In our relationship with God, there is a God part and there is a man part. God will not do for you what you are supposed to do for yourself (Luke16:10). Jesus told His disciples in Luke 21:36 to watch and pray always to be able to escape all that was going to happen. This requires a lot of self-discipline.

One of God’s principles for advancement is diligence. Without discipline, you cannot be of much use to God and even to man, be it family or work place. You have to discipline yourself to read the Bible daily. There is a system called BBB; it means Bible Before Breakfast.

To get the best of God in life, the word of God must be in you through reading, meditation and memorisation. All these will lead to obedience of the word. To be effective as a Christian, you need personal discipline. This is also by the power of the Holy Spirit. In every stage of your Christian life, you need the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

The Bible says it is not by power nor might but by my Spirit says the Lord. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill your life and God will give you His promise of the Father to all His children (Luke 11:11-12).

Motivational Quote
In Christianly, a life of consistent victory is not possible without discipline.

Prophetic Word
Power will change hands in your life today from the flesh to the Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus.

HYMN – Take my life and let it be

1. Take my life and let it be
   Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
   Take my moments and my days,
   Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

2. Take my hands and let them move
   At the impulse of Thy love;
   Take my feet and let them be
   Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3. Take my voice and let me sing
   Always, only, for my King;
   Take my lips and let them be
   Filled with messages from Thee.

4. Take my silver and my gold
   Not a mite would I withhold;
   Take my intellect and use
   Ev’ry pow’r as Thou shalt choose.

5. Take my will and make it Thine
   It shall be no longer mine;
   Take my heart it is Thine own,
   It shall be Thy royal throne.

6. Take my love my Lord, I pour
   At Thy feet its treasure store;
   Take myself and I will be
   Ever, only, all for Thee.
