Bible Reading: Philippians 3: 12-14
Memory Verse: I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. Philippians 3:14 (NLT)
Do you know that you can break any addiction with this mindset? Do you know by this mindset of Kaizen, you can improve your study life both in your academics and with the word of God. Infact, your prayer and evangelical life can also be revived. Make up your mind that for the next 21 days you will pray for at least 15 minutes AT A SPECIFIC TIME.
Ask God for grace and put disciplinary measures in place. Set up an alarm that will ring so loudly until it jerks you up. Sometimes grace (divine enablement) does not flow until God sees our commitment. I encourage you to keep to this time, and before you know it, an altar has been raised. Having met your target of 15 minutes for 21 days, then increase your target to 30 minutes. Learn to take one tiny step after another and watch your life move forward.
This is same for your Bible study life. Get a devotional that inspires you with a Bible in one year or Bible in two years partition. Make up your mind to give at least 10-15 minutes of your time to know your God through the Scriptures daily. You cannot continue to be a prey to pastors and prophets. Conquer that for 21 days and increase your targets.
Many youths have found themselves in money rituals because they can’t endure the principle of Kaizen. They are in a hurry. They don’t want to grow in wealth. They want to achieve what should take them 10 years to build overnight. What a fast generation going nowhere. Speed is not an advantage when vision is lacking. Don’t run ahead of yourself. A step at a time!
Dear Parents, I know you are in a hurry to see your children grow into a well responsible member of the society. I know you’re a hurry to see them do better with their grades at school. However, know for sure that Rome was not built overnight.
