Discipline in Christ

 “And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.”

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭8‬:‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The day we received Christ, our names were enlisted in the army of the Lord.  We are God’s Kingdom as royal priests.  The Kingdom of God and the kingdom of satan are in collision till the final victory when Christ will come and rule the earth.  Let’s carefully follow our Heavenly Joshua’s victory principles as we get keys from Joshua’s earthly battles.  He rose up early and mustered the people.  A warrior must train his body and mind for a disciplined and orderly life.  In Christ we are fighting well organised enemies whom Christ has already defeated through the Cross.  Our part is to bring ourselves under the discipline of the Holy Spirit in order to manifest Christ’s victory.  After every victory, Joshua and all God’s prophets offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.  In Christ, we heap praises and thanksgiving at every victory.  The attitude of gratitude is the shortest way to create havoc in the spirit world by showing off the Cross of Christ and His Blood Sacrifice.  Let’s flow in the gifts of the Spirit, not taking it for granted and praying in the Spirit more than others.  Let’s say what Paul did, “I subdue my body and get it under my control, so that after preaching the good news to others I myself won’t be disqualified.”  Amen!
