Bible Reading;

“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have attained this. Instead I am single-minded: Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead, with this goal in mind, I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let those of us who are “perfect” embrace this point of view. If you think otherwise, God will reveal to you the error of your ways.” (Philippians 3:13‭-‬15 NET)

Introduction: 

Success does not come by prayer and fasting alone. Additionally, we must strive towards excellence in the pursuits of set goals.

The Apostle Paul stood out as a high achiever because his potentials were maximized, and he was not controlled by happenstance. 

Among the factors that enable the maximization of potentials, we’ll prayerfully consider Discipline and Time today.

Hopefully by tomorrow, we shall consider Good health and self development. 

#PrayerPoints4Today (10 mins each)

3- Discipline:

Royalty lives by protocol.  The ‘born again’ have been made a king and priest to God (1 Peter 2:9. Revelation 1 6)

a)- Repent of all anti-Christian behaviors and receive forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9)

 b)-Confront anti-social behaviors that alienate people and good things, and command the evil spirits causing them to go to the feet of Jesus Christ at once.

c) Affirm that you will exemplify Godliness, walk uprightly, shun evil, be just, merciful, holy and hospitable.

d)-Proverbs 22:4 says, ” By humility and the fear of the Lord. Are riches and honor and life”

Until you are disciplined in your relationship with God, the maximization of all your potentials might be elusive.

d1)- Ask for enabling grace in order to   observe the Daily Christian Discipline (DCD) of Prayer, Personal Bible Reading/study, Fasting, Soul winning, and Fellowship with other Believers

d2)-Proclaim that grace,  favor and goodwill are working for you, and are attracting the right kinds of audiences to your ministries,  businesses, and  affirm also that all your interactions in the Marketplace are highly productive and profitable.

d3)- Repent if your life in the marketplace does not reflect your identity as a child of God.

d4) Command all the evil spirits creating unpleasantness for you to leave at once to the feet of Christ with all their evil relatives.

d5)- Proclaim your changed life and circumstances 

4 Time:

Though the sons of Issachar were a smal company, the larger companies were under their command. Because they had understanding for the times (See I Chronicles 12:32)

Wisdom is profitable to direct Ecclesiastes 10:10) Tgerefore –

a)- Affirm that Christ has been made wisdom to you thus enabling you to understand the time that we are in.

b)- Declare that You have the accurate knowledge needed to maximize your potentials.

c)- Declare that you have the Divine nature and have everything you need to excel in every aspect and facet of life. c)- Affirm that you have the Divine nature and have everything you need for excellence in every aspect and facet of life. 

d)-Proclaim that there aren’t delays, denials or satanic interferences in your paths, for God in His infinite mercies, causes all things to work together for your good.

e)-Declare that you are time sensitive and time relevant and Your goods and services are in high demand.

f)- Affirm that as light of the world, your life is a living epistle, and as the salt of the earth, you are the catalyst for Change and the blessing to the world, 

g) Affirm that you are the lender to nations and you function in superabundance, giving succor to many.

I)-Spend time to worship in songs and pray in tongues too.

As you pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit syncs your prayers with the perfect will of God.

I trust that your understanding is enlightened. We’ll continue tomorrow.
