Spiritual Discipline

Discipline? I think we all need to be discipline and it is for our own good for the Bible already said Proverbs 13:24 The one who spares his rod hates his child, but the one who loves his child is diligent in disciplining him. Well this is earthly discipline which teaches us to be a good citizens.

Spiritual discipline is a higher standard and its necessary for Heavenly citizenship. I think I have share this before but would like to share this again as it is line with the current theme. God sometimes uses pain and sufferings to teach us and mold our characters.

God is like a potter's hand always there to mold our characters until the potter Himself thinks that He can come out with a perfect product. However due to various reasons we sometimes disobeyed Him and we wanted to do it our own ways. Take for example at one stage of my spiritual life I was very self-centered and I had a self-reliance attitude despite warnings and advises I turn a deaf ear to them.

God as loving father and He loves His children a lot and could not bare to see the degenerating lifestyle of mine and He took spiritual actions against me. Things were bad and I also losses my job along with 1 month of salary due to the breach of contract and many more.....

Back then I had negative attitude towards cell meetings and I think it wasn't necessary. My church was doing The old testament challenge last year and brother Alfred and Sister Jennifer challenged me to be a part of a cell and take the old testament challenge then without much consideration I accepted their challenge.

I thought I might leave the cell after OTC but it never did happen. It was only until when I joined the cell thus had realized that not all oranges are sour and there are sweet oranges too. If God had not disciplined me I don't I will be seated in front of my laptop blogging for Him and I would not have gotten a job @ Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific! All glory to the Most Highest!
