Living in Increase (Part 6) - Increase in Leadershipنموونە

Living with Self-Discipline
If providing discipline is to give training or correction, then being self-disciplined means living by that training. As a leader, you must be able to receive both teaching and constructive feedback. It’s also important to know when to have self-control. Maybe you don’t have to follow a strict diet for the rest of your life, but if you have Diabetes, you may want to decrease your sugar consumption. If you tend to over-drink, you may want to refrain from alcohol altogether.
John Maxwell’s 17th law (The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership) is The Law of Priorities. You choose what priorities and values you’re going to follow. You may have received feedback from your doctor, parents, mentor, or God that shaped your beliefs and convictions. Following those beliefs is then what determines if you’re living with self-discipline.
It’s important to know that God’s discipline will not always match the world’s. For example, Daniel was an excellent leader and a model of someone living with godly discipline in the Bible. One day, the king offered Daniel food and wine, but he refused the king’s food because he knew it wasn’t aligned with what God wanted for him. Ultimately, Daniel and his friends were ten times smarter than anyone else in the kingdom (Daniel 1:20). Daniel followed God’s direction, exhibited self-discipline, and was rewarded for it. In the same way, when we follow God’s guidance and live by it, we will be rewarded!
