IT TOOK DISCIPLINE TO BURY HER!
Dan. 1:8, 3:14-18

How great you are and how great you will be on earth depends on the way you discipline yourself.

The late princess Diana meant a lot to people, being the mother of the future Kings of England. She is highly revered even in death. But recently, a Soldier who helped to lower her body into the grave 131/2 years ago has given insight into what took place at her private burial in 1997. The Soldier, Mr. Nigel said they had to train seriously for that assignment? Yes, they trained for the sad day by carrying a coffin packed with sandbags over a specially-built bridge till their shoulders ached. This was because the grave was in an Island after a wooden bridge that was the power of body discipline! The team of eight was also told to keep their mission secret and disguise as a rugby team at the hotel they camped a day before the burial. Thus, they were also trained to discipline their tongue. Oh what great lessons on discipline and God is calling reader of today’s bulletin to a higher level of discipline in 2011. Do you know that there are promotions God will not allow you to see/taste till you can control fornication, adultery, your temper/anger, bitterness/malice, lust for money, love of position/fame, lateness to church services, lack of submission to authority/leaders, etc.
“MAN MUST BE DISCIPLINE, FOR HE IS BY NATURE, RAW AND WILD”. Can any army win a battle without discipline? Samson lost his glory! Gehazi lost his glory! Moses lost the Promised Land and nearly lost his place in heaven because he could not control the Monster called “ANGER” WHAT IS YOUR MONSTER? Daniel and the three Hebrew men (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) became a celebrity because of Discipline. Are you living your life according to God’s rule and Instructions? Discipline makes a man great but indiscipline brings a man down!!! Ponder on this. God bless you this week.
Shallom!!!
