“Discipline” here represents maintaining an orderly life. It is operating as demanded not as convenient. Also, it is maximising and investing our time, instead of squandering it. George Washington once said, “Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable, procures success to the weak, and esteem to all.” No matter where […]
Progress is initiated and charted from within because thoughts are agents of change. E.W. Kenyon exhorts, “make your brain to work. It will sweat; but make it work. It will improve. It will develop until you become a wonder to those around you.” That is the way forward. Thoughts are mental reactors that motivate human […]
You may ask, how do I renew my mind? That is simple: 1. Associate With Smarter Brains “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” Proverbs 27:17 I have always believed that the essence of association is to add to one another, to help sharpen each other’s minds and ultimately improve […]
Let me start by drawing a line between learning and schooling; between training and education. Schooling is not equal to learning; otherwise, every first class graduate should excel in life. But I have noticed a paradox. In many professions today, third class graduates employ first class graduates! When you are given a certificate after school, […]
Now you are one with the Father (as we have seen), and one of the proofs of that identification is mental distinction. That is the pattern that Jesus set for us, so take advantage of it. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all […]
“They work together, they grow together, they impart life together, with maximum effect.” Understand this: Faith to receive is in the present; the manifestation of what we have received is in the future. Having believed, we enter into our rest and hope takes over. “For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he […]
Nothing great happens on its own. There is no rise without a price. Without a reaction, there is no motion, and without motion there cannot be a change of position. Life is not a biological accident; it is a deliberate creation of a great Creator. This is why those who undertake deliberate acts make the […]
“Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.” Micah 2:10 Whatever level you are now, is not your rest, so do not settle there like concrete. Standards are changing everyday. The success of yesterday cannot match the standards of today. […]
And the Lord shall make you the head and not the tail … Deuteronomy 28:13 For as many as are born again, are destined to be the head and not the tail, to be above only, and not beneath. Have you not read in Ephesians 2:6 that, God has raised you up, and made you […]
For a seed of corn to grow into several cobs, it must first be buried in the thick, dark soil, where it will face the risk of being eaten up by insects or getting dried up. Yet, except the grain goes through this risky period, it abides alone. That means it remains stagnated (John 12:24). […]
