Note that a man or woman without decision of character can never be said to belong to himself; he belongs to captive of him” (John TT. Foster).
Topic: The Soccer Legend: Put Order Into Your Life!
(1 Kings 18:30-39).
Welcome! I am led to remind you that years ago, Diego Armendo Maeradona, the then 44 year-old Argentinian ‘god ‘of soccer, made a dramatic move from the pitch to the tube with the first edition of his TV talk show, tagged: “The Night of the Number 10” The show was a tribute to the number 10 shirt he wore while playing for Argentina. Remember that after recovering from his drug problems, Maeadona’s only headache remained his bloated size with grave health implications! So, the former “World Footballer of the year,” opted for stomach surgery-also known as “gastric by-pass” or “stomach stapling,” aimed at reducing his stomach’s capacity to retain food.
In order to keep his health and his shape, a former leading doctor said the soccer legend would have to rely on a liquid diet for three months, “if he’s serious about returning to his normal size/weight.” For the man who is worshipped by a particular church in Argentina, the last statement was a call to discipline! Then the question worldwide at that time was: “Will Maradona be disciplined enough to go without solid food for three months?” Note that a man or woman without decision of character can never be said to belong to himself; he belongs to captive of him” ( John TT. Foster).
God is speaking to to you today about self-discipline! What is it that has gained control over you? Is it unholy anger, fornication, adultery, malice, unforgiveness, gossip, pride, weakness in fasting, your tongue, etc? Note that before fire could fall on the sacrifice of Elijah, 1 Kings 18:33 says: “he put the wood in order and cut the bullock in pieces and laid it on the wood.” Until God sees that your world is in order, He will not send the fire! Lac k of order will stagnate your height in life!
Order stands for dsicipline! Close with Jack Paar: Looking back, my life seems to be one long obstacle course, with me as the Chief Obstacle’. Refuse to be your own obstacle! Refuse to be your own devil!
