#IYAC2017 Day 4 – Youth Alive Convention 2017 (Morning Session)

Text: Eccles 10:1-15 Prov 31:4

One Of The Covenant Requirements For Enthronement Is Discipline

Amon was hair to the throne of David his father but he lost his destiny & his life

John The Baptist was the greatest Prophet but yet, there was no manifestation

John Newton was said, as the morning shows the day so does the child show the morning

Self Discipline is your deliberate choice for the profitable above the acceptable 1 Cor 6:12 1 Tim 1:8

It takes self discipline to be accomplished in life

Operating as commanded and not as convenient

Operating as demanded and not as convenient e.g it is not

Self Discipline is being a law to one’s self in other to achieve the desired future Neh 5:14

It’s living under self set rules; 1 Cor 6:23

Operating without requiring supervision towards the delivery of a given task like David who stayed with his father’s sheep

Self discipline is a trigger to the potentials we carry

Benjamin Franklin only had two years of formal education but through self discipline, he became one of the greatest philosophers in American history and today, there’s a Benjamin Franklin day in America, same as Isaac Newton

Self Discipline Is Vital to determining the outcomes of their lives

Understand that we’re a people of equal destiny & God is no respecter of any person. We have equal access to any opportunitiesRom 10:12 Rev 5:9-10

We’re absolutely responsible for the outcomes of our lives because God calls us alone

I Cor 15:33 Be careful, evil communication corrupts good manners

God does not call groups but individual Gen 12:1-3 Psalm 76:1-2

God does bless groups but individuals

God does not empower groups but individuals

God does not enthrone groups but individuals 2 Tim 4:8

The Four Management Principles That Makes A Leader

▪ Self Management I Cor 9:27

You cannot be in school all your life but it takes self discipline to keep learning when there’s no one marking your scripts

It is great self managers that go on to become great leaders

All proven leaders are committed to learning

Self Management is key to self actualisation

A Year is made up of only 52 weeks

There’s the story of an individual who spent the first 1 year of graduation reading 600 books and 10 years later, he was worth 250 per hour

If your time is not budgeted you’ll waste it. Same way if your money is not budgeted it will be wasted.

This is your most fertile season-your planting season, if you miss it, you miss everything

Life is a school of lifelong learning

It’s important to invest your time while others may squander theirs if they choose

Those who make news don’t watch it

There’s nothing extraordinary on it’s own, it is people’s extraordinary impute that makes the difference

Access to the top is open but there’s always a price to pay for it

A lifestyle of diligence is the pathway to the top

Wherever connection gets you, a disconnect will take you away from it but wherever labour takes you, you remain there. Prov 22:29

Face your business

Every waster today, is headed for poverty Eccles 9:14-18

Every slothfull person today, is poverty bound Prov 18:9

This generation is wasteful, slothfull & shopping freaks

Poor management is one major reason for the poverty of the poor

When you’re not committed to sound financial management, you’re poverty bound

You don’t grow big to manage well, you manage well to grow big

Don’t eat all you have, have a reserve & a plan for all your expenditure

Go & give expression to sound discipline on leaving here

Go & build a your library for your success

Don’t run any business without learning about it first

Access information bases online for your growth

I studied 39 biographies of great ministries before starting mine

I studied several world class universities including: Oxford, Princeton, Havard…

Discipline yourself to manage your time & resources well

Don’t leave your life to chance or you’ll have no chance

Discipline is the soul of an Army, it makes small numbers great & it procures success to the weak & esteem to all.
