Friday 22nd January 2021  A beautiful Friday morning to you in the name of Jesus and like we normally say, “thank God, it’s Friday!” But not just Friday, we thank God every single day.  I hope you have begun to practice the “disciplines” we’ve been talking about. These disciplines when practiced would help us mature so we can get the best out of our inheritance through investments we make.  Yesterday, we spoke about the Inward Discipline. Today we will be talking about the Outward Discipline.  The Outward Discipline are the things we practice in the company of people so that through our relationship with others, we can make the world a better place. There are also four practices under the Outward Discipline. The first one is Simplicity.  Simplicity is a life that is uncluttered and not cumbered with unnecessary things. It is a life that is focused on God and His Kingdom. Remember when Jesus went to visit Mary and Martha, Marta the big sister was very busy doing so many things for Jesus and she came to Jesus and said “don’t you care that my sister isn’t doing anything, let her leave you to come work with me.” Jesus advice to Martha was to simplify her life. Luke 10:40-42 (NLT) 40 But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.” 41 But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! 42 There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”  God wants us to live a simple life focused on Him. The good thing is this, when you focus on Him and seek His kingdom first, all other things that people worry about is added to you.  The second Discipline is Solitude.&nb
