In today’s society, many believe that commitment is bondage. Commitment, dedication and discipline are not bondage; they are a vital part of the Christian life. We boast of freedom when, in truth, we refuse to respond favorably to disciplines of life. We have “good intentions,” but not much discipline. Ouch, this lifestyle of discipline is painful!


Although we must be disciplined in our natural walk, so must we be disciplined in the walk of faith. Faith cannot be a feeling, nor an experience, and not even a movement. Faith must be a lifestyle. To follow A LIFESTYLE OF DISCIPLINE on a regular basis requires a great deal of motivation. Others will never be able to consistently motivate us to a life of faith.


Today, make the spiritual choice, A LIFESTYLE OF DISCIPLINE. Refuse to be moved by what is seen or heard, nor be influenced by the masses not living by the Word, and will of God. Commitment is not bondage; it is a choice to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. An abundant harvest will manifest by living “A LIFESTYLE OF DISCIPLINE!"

How will I know when I’m minutes from my miracle? What are some of the signs?  Can I do anything to assist the birthing of my miracle? All these questions are valid when miracles seem difficult to experience. Discipline is necessary to facilitate the arrival of most miracles. Be encouraged as we cover a few of these disciplines. 

·       I need to put a name on my desired miracle. This discipline will establish the point of contact. Many people don’t like where they are, but they have not yet decided where they want to be.

·       It is always necessary to confirm scriptural grounds for your miracle. Find scripture in the Word of God and stand on the promise. Make it part of your vocabulary each day.

·       Remember to ask for your miracle.  Make a demand on the ability of God.  Jesus once said that someone had touched him.  That woman made a demand on His ability.  Others touched Him and made no such demand.

·       Miracles are for the persistent, not the wisher.  Stay encouraged, you could be minutes from your miracle!
