We continue with our discussion on godly training. One important ingredient in every form of training is discipline. Discipline is restraining yourself to live within the rules. You must know what you seek to achieve, and then the requirements for achieving that goal. After setting up your goal, you discipline yourself to do whatever it takes to achieve it.

​

This time, we will look at how to effectively feed our hearts and minds with the word of God. The greatest good you can do for yourself concerning the word of God is to accept that it is the absolute truth. It would be of no benefit to have so much of the world in you without it having any transforming power  over your life. The power in God’s word can be encountered.

When we believe all that it says.

​

God’s word is extremely powerful. Heb 4:12 KJV” For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” It can be of benefit if you believe it.

​

Now, one way of building the word into your  being is to keep hearing it over and over again. We live at a time that  we have the word of God right on our phones, and it could be read to us while we may be driving , walking or doing household chores. The bible says faith comes by hearing the word of God. Rom 10:17. Discipline yourself to keep hearing it. You can also use your leisure moments to read it to yourself. Just keep at it, and you will soon see how far you have grown in the spirit.

​

This is a discipline that you must practise always. If you were very diligent at it , then you could go through the bible in just two weeks. As the scriptures fill your soul, your spiritual capacity will increase. God places various responsibilities into our hands according to our spiritual capacity.

​

You can also listen to messages of anointed  men of God, whether they are  dead or living presently. Anytime you listen̈ to a man of God, you   have  an opportunity  to fellowship with the grace that worked  in their lives. There have been some people who have been anointed by the anointing of these men just by listening to them over and over again. You would learn a lot.  As well as being impacted positively, as you listen to such anointed men of God.
