Stewardship Challenge Week Nine: Personal Development Part 2

Stewardship Challenge 2016
Personal Development-Part 2
 
Last week, we looked at heart issues in our lives and this week I would like to look at additional thoughts on ways we can increase the awareness of our self-development training. Let’s look at five things we can work on:

  1. 1. To renew your mind. One of the best ways to do this is to read your Bible daily. Make a plan to read through the Bible this year. Romans 12:2
  2. 2. Learn to walk in the abundant life that Christ purchased for you. This means you learn to walk in faith which is the biggest way to please God. Hebrews 11:1
  3. 3. Learn to give value to the lives of others around you and with whom you come in contact with every day. Mark 12:31
  4. 4. Learn to live a disciplined life. A disciplined life becomes a successful life. Learn to believe in yourself and let your “yes” be “yes” and your “no” be “no”. Learn to hear the voice of your Father and be quick to obey.
  5. 5. Learn to war against negative influences in the world. The enemy has given himself the task of destroying this world using any negative influence he can throw into this world. We must not align ourselves with him in any way.

A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. That means your minds and your heart must be self-disciplined to be on the same page. You cannot speak one thing with your mouth when you speak and pray and believe with your hearts and mind something else.

Some of the advantages in becoming self-disciplined are as follows:

  • Become laser focused on your dreams.
  • Learn to give no room for doubt and fear in your mind.

Once you learn to become laser focused on your dreams (which the Lord has placed in your heart), you will find it easier to pray and study the Bible without your mind running off on tangents.
  • A daily program of personal development will help you to train yourself to be a disciplined warrior.
  • A disciplined warrior always looks to his Captain.   As you apply self-development training to your life it does not mean that you are not Christ-centered, in fact it means you are more Christ-centered.
  • Christ is looking for disciplined warriors. Are you ready?
