NO PAIN NO GAIN
There must be an aspect of discomfort in other to improve. Hence life does not give you what you desire, rather it give you what you deserve; if you want a better grade ,you have to study hard, want to get stronger you have to lift weight. Ther is always price for prize. Although God has saved us through christ jesus, yet God demind that we work out our salvation with fear and trembling phil. 2 : 12. The issue of traning cannot be over emphasized, paul in 1Cor . 9 : 26 -27 told us his secret, so lets exploit it.
( 1 ) FOCUS : The gratest enemy of focus is distraction, jesus said in luke 6:62, No man having put his hand on the plow and look back is worthy of the kingdom of God, also paul after all his exploit in the ministry refuse to be distracted by his accomplishment, rather he put all his success behind and was pressing on for the ultimate prize. Therefore breathren let us get ride of every form of distraction and stay focus aiming for a higher attainment and gloryfication phil. 3:10-16; COL. 3:1-3.
SELF CONTROL : This is a virtue that describe lordship over self, the self controlled individual exercise restraint over his own impulse emotion, desire , behavour e . t . c,expecially in difficult situation for the sake of worthier end.
