I PUT MY BODY UNDER SUBJECTION

 


Have you thought about it, the fact that you fall asleep the moment you decide to read? You start snoring the minute you decide to write or work at night?  But, you can stay up for hours mindlessly scrolling through social media. 


The human body is a centre that thrives on pleasure: immediate pleasure. Sometimes (all the time), this pleasure seeking is  detrimental to our growth and elevation.


Because time will move and not wait for you to find a balance between your pleasure seeking flesh and the higher calling of purpose, you might end up in a future unplanned. 


The pull of gratification is easy but we must put this body under SUBJECTION. It is the only way to achieve the seemingly impossible. Paul, in the Bible who wrote more than 5 books in the new testament understood this. He realized that to do the extraordinary, his desires must come under his control. 


How?


1. Set up your dreams and goals before you always. Be aware of where you are going and how much you need to sacrifice to get there.


2. Find accountability partners. Put yourself under checks. Develop a system for accountability.


3. Set a daily schedule. Make a list of things to be done according to your priorities.


4. Be disciplined. Finish your daily tasks first. Finish the important things first. Work before play.

You are not the first ne...
