THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF DISCIPLINE

 Every person has a mandate of controlling his or her own life except for children who depend on their parents or elderly people upto the age of eighteen years old when they are considered mature. After this period, they are concidered mature enough to take responsibilities for themselves. If a person is privileged to have a lot of Money, it does not mean or qualify him to be considered as a mature person. 

     Maturity is not measured by looking at how much money he or she has in their bank accounts. A person's whole or total  behaviour can reveal whether they are mature or not. Some men do boast for having slept with many women and tend to believe that they are mature than others who have not. But no, no at all. 

(1). To start with,

Having self control over your sexual appetite or urge is a sign of true maturity in us. We MUST ask God to help us control ourselves over sexual urge in order to reach this important maturity level, it's our personal responsibility to be there. We shouldn't allow emotions to control us. Emotions are just feelings that we need to pray to God to help us train ourselves of how to overcome them. With God all things are possible. Without God nothing is possible that we think can be possible. It's foolishness to think that we can manage things in our lives without God.

(2). Taking responsibilities and serving as an example for most young people in your society indicates sign of maturity in you.

(3). Spending money wisely on important things of life is a sign of maturity in you.

(4). Helping the needy people in the society with the xtra money you have is maturity.

(5). Confronting situations of Conflicts, Chaos, and Violence your home and society at large by putting up good dialogues approach for solving problems is a sign of maturity.

(6). For a man who does not apply beatings to the wife as a way of expressing anger is a mature person. If a man has alot of wealth, but can't help the needy in the society, is not mature because people cannot die of hunger and poverty near you and you as a rich person and you claim to be mature.

 

     We should take care not to be driven by things like, Sexual urge, Love of Money, Alcoholic drinks, Drugs and alot of Leisure life. When we overcome such things, maturity develops in us. 

      We are only supposed to do things in life that promote the best version of ourselves in the society, becoming people of value, power, influence, greatness, success and relevance. 

FOR MEN REMEMBER THIS:

    The more women you sleep with, the more poorer you're likely to become because they exploit you financially and you miss God's blessings over your life. Women will drain you financially because, every lady has a bill for you in terms of;

(1)-lodge bill, 

(2)-transport bill, 

(3)-food bill, 

(4)-Beer bill, 

(5)-Clothes bill, 

(6)-Hair bill, 

(7)-Rent bill, 

(8)-Outing bill, Nail and eyelashes bill, 

(9)-Lotion and perfume bill etc

     So you will realize that by the time you are done spending on them, you are as broke as a niggah.

So please, MEN  BE WISE.

       I don't teach you things about women in order to confuse you or express my envy and hatred, but I am here to open your eyes and help  you see beyond the horizons.

       Self Discipline accounts for everything about our success in life and if we lack discipline, then we must forget about Success."Even if God poured success in your life and you lack self discipline, it will disappear after a short while." 

       In the society, we have seen some men who have what it takes to sleep with all types  women on daily basis but life taught them that there's more to life than just sex, discipline taught them that they must prioritize life goals first.

      The best version of life is to focus on building your life, your bank account, your future, improving yourself in skills, Pursuing purpose in life, relevance, value, power etc.

     As men and women who practice self discipline, marriages will be safe, and our children will be much secure. We shall reduce sexually transmitted diseases, We shall help our governments to even reduce expenditure on imported drugs for sexually transmitted diseases.

RELATIONSHIPS NEED MATURE PEOPLE.

 

        This is what you need to know concerning relationships and marriage institutions.

Actually relationships are more about maturity than age. Here's why:

1. Maturity is not directly tied to age:

 People mature at different rates. Some may be more emotionally intelligent and wise beyond their years, while others may be less mature despite their age.

2. Emotional readiness: 

Maturity is about being emotionally ready for a relationship, which includes communication, empathy, trust, and conflict resolution skills.

3. Life experience: 

Maturity comes from life experiences, learning from mistakes, and developing self-awareness.

4. Compatibility: 

Relationships thrive when both partners share similar maturity levels, values, and communication styles.

5. Personal growth: 

Maturity allows for personal growth, which is essential for a healthy, evolving relationship.

Age, on the other hand, is just a number. It's possible for:

- Younger people to be more mature and relationship-ready.

- Older individuals to be less mature and less prepared for a relationship.

For you to find the right person who can be good and suite your life, focus on the characteristics below.

- Emotional intelligence

- Communication skills

- Empathy

- Trustworthiness

- Shared values

These qualities are more important than age in building a strong, fulfilling relationship.

HOW TO PRAY TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.

 

WHAT IS PRAYER:

     Prayer is the simplest way we can communicate with God. Through prayers we tell thank God for all things He Hasdone to us. We also use this chance to ask God to do for us some things in our lives. We also communicate with God through reading the scriptures from the holy bible. 

    It's the will of God that we pray over everything in our lives and the lives of others. Prayers have no limitations. We can pray anytime any day and anywhere. 

HOW DO WE PRAY:

    God does not condition us on how to pray. But Jesus Christ son of God, who suffered and died on the cross because of our sins, tought His disciples how to pray and He was very specific. Since Jesus Christ new who his father was, the qualities of God, in the trinity him included, " the father the son and the holy spirit."  Hello decided to teach the disciples the style and type of prayer that God can accept easily.

‭Matthew 6:5-9, 12-15 NIV‬

[5]  “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. [6] But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. [7] And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. [8] Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. [9]  “This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

[12]  And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. [13]  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. ’ [14]  For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. [15] But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. 

https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.6.5-15.NIV

HOW GOD ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS.

      After looking at this example of how Jesus Christ tought His disciples how to pray, we discover that it's a true guideline of how we should pray to our God. This prayer teaches us that God is not approached in any way with any words. 

     Before we go into the presence of God for prayers, we must be prepared. Preparing means we must plan the words in our prayer to have the same meaning as in the prayer examples Jesus Christ gave to his disciples. 

   

      When it comes to our life within our marriage institutions, we need to pray for one another. A husband to remember his wife in prayers and a wife to remember her husband in prayers then the whole family. This is because the enemy is arising against many families. Without prayers, many families are falling. 

      God is committed to answering any prayer made in the name of Jesus Christ our saviour. This is the key for our prayers being answered.

QUALITIES OF GOOD LEADERSHIP

 

To be a leader, simply means to be a servant. To be a servant simply means to serve all people equally without any form of discrimination. Let us narrow down to the real qualities of  leadership. Before we look this qualities we must understand that there are some aspects connected to leadership. 

1.Leadership by profession- 

     This aspect in leadership tells us that, we must be trained professionally in order to become the kind of leader we want. This aspect enables our leadership to come in stages depending on the level of education and training. Examples of this type of leadership is found in Educational institutions, Government ministrys and Manufacturing companies etc

2.Leadership by natural gift.

      Some people have natural gifts of leadership from God. They know how to lead and can mentor others into leadership. Such people always manage several projects under their leadership. Examples of this category are people like Church  leaders. From just scratches, Some own big church organisations and projects internationally.

1.  HONESTY

     Honesty is an important aspect in leadership carrier. It helps people understand who you are and how you handle them. It potrays your inner heart and how you mind about others. Minus this aspect in you, you can't handle and manage company resources and property well.

2. EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION 

     As a leader, you must have good and efficient communication skills. This helps you to interact well with all people in your organisation. A good leader is supposed to know more than two languages and have a know how of different cultures within the society.

3. KNOWLEDGE 

    A leader without knowledge is like a leader without any power and authority. Knowledge gives us exposure to what people are, what they want and how they behave. Knowledge overrides other qualities in leadership cycles but cannot displace any of them. All aspects need to in place in order to accomplish everything well. Knowledge is power but has to be applied with wisdom. When you lack wisdom, knowledge will lack wheels to ride on. So wisdom is a pivotal element for effective knowledge.

4. CONSISTENCY 

     A good leader must be consistent in doing and performing duties. Consistency helps a leader to act according to what his or her minds speaks.

Consistently acting in a manner that reflects your true intentions is vital for cultivating a reputation of integrity. Such consistency is a daily commitment that shapes the essence of your leadership identity. Therefore, integrity emerges from the steadfast alignment between your goals and actions. This can really help the people you lead to understand your position and be able to define what kind of leader you are. 

5. VISIONARY OUTLOOK 

    Visionary outlook involves seeing beyond the immediate or present, understanding the bigger picture, and recognizing opportunities where others see challenges. It's about anticipating changes and being prepared to adapt. This requires a blend of imagination, foresight, and an unwavering belief in the possibility of what can be done to solve situations. A visionary outlook can assure a good future for the organisation. Many organisations that fail lack leaders who possess visionary outlook.

6. SELFLESSNESS 

     A good leader should have a selfless qualities.

Selfless leadership is putting the needs others before ones own, and is motivated by a desire to serves worthy cause. Selfless leaders are concerned with the success of the whole, rather than their own personal gain. This quality is very important in helping people people to define and identify the kind of leaders in our society.

Some of the characteristics of selfless leaders include:

(1). Seeing the value of others: 

  Selfless leaders recognize the value of           others  and align that value with a worth cause.

(2). Inspiring Others:

Selfless leaders inspire others to work with them on a worthy cause.

Selfless leaders practice servant leadership which involves focusing on organizational goals and helping team members thrive and become effective.

(6). Having Vision and Purpose:

Selfless leaders always have vision and purpose. (7). They are honest and open minded and have nothing to hide. 

(8). They are Focused, Flexible and Humble. They don't brugg or Bost.

In conclusion, selfless leadership is a difficult trait to learn and require constant practice. However it's beneficial if a leader or employer builds trust with employees and Inspires them.

7. COURAGE 

Courage is the quality of being ready and willing to face negative situations involving danger or pain. A close synonym is bravery. Showing courage is often thought of as facing such situations without fear, but it also involves facing them despite fear.

It takes courage for a leader to do some things that all people are looking at as difficult. A courageous leader came make the organisation achieve more and exceedingly. We need to welcome Jesus Christ in our lives so that he can give us courage to do things.

These are some benefits of stronger willpower: It provides more choices about how to think and respond emotionally to different situations. As a leader with will power character, the hope for who you are leading is guaranteed. People delight in a leader who has will power to control things.

CONCLUSION 

The Bible has a few perspectives on good leadership, eg Matthew 20:26,  Proverbs 4:23 and  11:14
