*Your Effort Must Match The Desired Outcome*

The effort required to lift a kitchen knife is far less than the energy required to lift 150kg weights in the gym. Here's the problem, many people want to lift 150kg type things in their life with kitchen effort. It simply won't work. Even Elisha was told that to get a double portion, he needed to pay the requisite price.

Consider the following areas in your life and whether the effort you're putting will match the outcomes you desire;

_*Your Prayer Life_
_*You Fasting_
_*Your Word Disciplines (how much of the Bible you ought to take in)_
_*Your work Ethic_
_*Your study and learning disciplines_
_*Your giving_

The list is endless. Just know this, your effort must match your desired outcome otherwise you'll forever wonder why certain realities never happen in your life. No wonder Jesus said "this kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting" Mk 9:29.

"Wisdom Is the Principal Thing"

Deceit is always linked with being wicked. But we sow righteousness
when we have integrity and tell the truth. This is something that’s not honored
in our society. There are many people who do business deceitfully. They will
give one price and then tack on other charges and manipulate people. They
do this and think somehow or another they’re getting ahead. The Bible says
that it’s wicked, and these people won’t prosper. If we’re righteous, we have a
sure reward. The way the world thinks they can manipulate, take advantage of
people, be deceitful, lie, misrepresent things, and still prosper and get ahead
is wrong. It’ll always bite them in the end. Every single time.

God Is Discipline Personified: Imitate Him

For me, The verse that embodies God being disciplined is Hebrews 13:8
_"Jesus Is the same yesterday, today and forever"_

Imagine that? He doesn't change. He can't change. He won't change. Despite all that God has seen thru the ages, He remains the same. His Word never even changes, and for that we are better off. Imagine if we woke up and God totally changed everything He said?😱😱😱 We'd be toast! Dead! Finished.

Discipline is very Godly because it means you maintain a certain course despite the changing circumstances and people. It means sticking to the same good routine even when you don't feel like it. Child of God, when you walk in discipline Satan will have nothing on you.

You are walking in discipline. You'll consistently do so by grace.
