Why be a disciplined Christian?

Why a Christian should be disciplined?

Discipline of a Christian
As Christians we are to pray and read the Bible daily. Ideally we are to have a quiet time with God daily, hear Him daily.  We are to praise and worship Him daily at home. We are to have a daily quiet time at home.  We are to go to church and worship God as a community. We are to have Holy Communion as often as possible. We need to forgive ourselves and others. We need to be obedient to what the Lord directs us to. We need to be willing to sacrifice as well as share and be charitable. We need to love ourselves and others. And many more.

All these may not be our default nature, but we can choose to discipline ourselves in all these. Most importantly we need to love God above all and be fully confident about His great love towards us. We have this verse from Proverbs 3:5-6 which says this.  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. All these are elements of a disciplined Chritian life. With discipline complemented by faith we can develop a consistent lifestyle which pleases our Lord and saviour.

Powerful Secret for Effective Prayers

Share on:

Prayers taught by Jesus,Paul - Bible

When you ask God, when you pray according to His will, our prayers become acceptable. When you ask your parents for things according to their will, they become delighted and are more likely to oblige. If you ask your boss according to his will, you are more likely to get your request granted. So a great key to making effective prayers is asking according to God’s will. This verse is from 1 John 5:14. Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. We can use this key and have a confident and fulfilling prayer life.

Can a Christian carry the Glory of God?

Why be a disciplined Christian?

Part 1 of 2 articles regarding “How a Christian can carry Glory of God?”

A Christian can certainly carry the Glory of the Lord. But many of us have not thought about carrying God’s glory. And the truth is the vast majority have never desired it even. 

Often what we have not thought or desired limits what we could experience. So let us discover how various individuals have carried the Glory of God as mentioned in the Bible. And how on the basis of scripture we can desire, rather we should desire to carry the Glory of God. We should remember our God gives us abundantly more than what we ask or desire, especially for those matters that are according to God’s will.

 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. ( Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV)
