One of the greatest principles in God’s Kingdom is the principle of yielding. The Lord Jesus taught that a seed must first be planted before it can produce a harvest. In the same way, a believer who lives only for personal interests will never experience the fullness of God’s purpose.

Many people desire greater impact, greater influence, and greater fruitfulness, but they are unwilling to let go of smaller ambitions. Fruitfulness always requires sacrifice, which is an important aspect of yielding. It requires laying aside self-centered goals in order to embrace God’s greater plan. What seems like loss in the natural often becomes the pathway to increase in the Kingdom.

As ambassadors of Christ, we are called to live for something greater than ourselves. We represent the interests of Heaven on earth. This means our decisions, priorities, and pursuits should reflect God’s purposes. When we align ourselves with His vision, our lives begin to produce lasting fruit that blesses others and glorifies Him.

Do not be afraid to yield yourself to God and surrender your plans to Him. Whatever is committed to Him will never be wasted. The seed that is planted may disappear from sight for a season, but in time it produces a harvest far greater than anyone imagined.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I yield myself wholly to you. I trust You with my life. Im determined to live for Your purposes and not merely for myself. Therefore, my life fruitful and impactful for Your Kingdom. I declare that everything I do brings glory to Your Name, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Discipline can help you achieve great things with very little effort. Discipline is binding and enforcing oneself to walk on certain laid-down principles and ways, while destroying every desire and craving to walk outside those principles.

It is very important for us as God’s children to understand some of the spiritual reasons behind the concept of discipline. God made day and night, winter and summer, and various other chronological cycles. All these natural cycles work according to a certain laid-down pattern. Romans 1:20 shows us that we can learn a lot of things from nature. There is a great essence of discipline which nature testifies about the Creator. Even when you see the changes in the climate and the events of the world, all things are taking place in discipline to the prophecies of the Scriptures.

In God’s royalty, it pleases Him to order a decree and then get it executed. He doesn’t just do things randomly. He sets His ways and acts according to His plans. When He promised eternal life and decided to make man, even though He knew that man would sin, He still created man. He was able to perfect His creation through Jesus Christ. Every time you design a plan, a way, or an order — and then walk in it irrespective of the opposing forces — you exercise the victory which God has given to you in Christ Jesus.

God doesn’t want things to just happen in your life. Some people pray that good things should happen to them, but that is an immature approach. God wants you to be the author and designer of all the good things that should ever take place in your life. He has given you the necessary tools for it — His Word, His ways, His anointed ones, and His godly unction have been invested in your life so that you may use them to design discipline regarding every aspect and association of your life.

Living a disciplined life perfects your ability to rule and subdue. Every time you lay out a plan, all the forces of heaven are alerted to back you up and make it a success. But if a person fails to act according to his plan, he confuses the spiritual forces, and then he has to do everything by his own human ability.

God gave fresh manna to His people every morning. In the same way, there is a word for you every day — a portion of grace, an increase, and also a portion of work which the Holy Spirit expects from you so that He may bless it. Failing to be disciplined in life can at times be very costly. Many lose a lot in their lives unnecessarily because they fail to be disciplined. Thank God that He has not kept you in darkness regarding this spiritual understanding.

Praise
My Father, I love You, and I thank You that I have Your nature of discipline in me. As I walk in discipline to exhibit spiritual royalty, I continue to win more and more every day of my life. Thank You that my life is without the frustrations of the world. Oh Father, You have given me more than I could have ever imagined! You are awesome!

Thanksgiving is a gateway to blessings, and as a child of God, it’s imperative for you to be thankful at every step of your life. You can’t experience greatness without having a grateful heart.

Christians who haven’t learnt the value of thanksgiving have so many blessings elude them. Rather than complaining to God about your life or situation, you’re to be thankful to Him for qualifying you to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. When you express gratitude to the Lord for your present level, Hell do more for you; He’ll take you higher.

When Jesus had to feed five thousand men (women and children not counted) with a little boys tiffin, His preparation and planning was only of thanksgiving. Bible says in John 6:11: “And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would”. Notice what He did that resulted in the miracle: He gave thanks!

Thanksgiving is supposed to be our way of life. When you prepare and plan for your education, business, relationships; do it with a grateful heart that’s oozing with praise and thanksgiving towards the Lord. Glory to God!

Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank you for your abundant blessings in my life. Thank you for making me your very own. I have everything I require to effectually serve you and live joyfully every day. I’m grateful. Thank you for beautifying my life with your glory, in Jesus precious Name. Amen.
