How best can you build your own self-discipline? Is it possible for you to change your life and turn things around for yourself in a way that can enable you to grow in your career and also grow as an individual?

That's where you can be able to follow and watch this show from wherever you are on the go. Let's talk about discipline. Apostle. Yes. You've done counseling. Yeah. You talk to so many youths on a day to day basis. Day basis. This person talk about this. Do you feel like youths need to work on their discipline and how far or how important is it for someone to have self discipline as an individual? First of all, it is very important for every youth to work for their discipline because without the discipline we can't play our role and the youth can never play their role as a youth of the nation because our youth are getting lost, are getting to drunks, are getting to so many things and we are losing so many youth which are helpful to our nation, which we need them to build our nation but we are losing our youth to drunks we are losing our youth even others are dying. Let's for example in our account we have experienced youth earning themselves because they are lacking discipline in their family, in their locality. You find sometimes because they are lacking discipline, they are not getting work, they are chased away from their work and because we have challenges in life it will end up the youth to die. So it is very important as a youth to correct the error where we have lost our discipline and come back to the position and have discipline so that we can be accepted in the places of work, in our families and everywhere we go. Coming from what you said. Yes. And we talk about discipline. What is it that we are talking about? What does it mean when we say discipline? What does it mean? Because you are mentioning so many things and someone may wonder how does someone's death connect to discipline? How does someone's misfortune in terms of losing their job or problems in the family? How do they all connect to discipline? What is it from what you said? What do we mean when we say discipline? Discipline first of all is a good moral. A youth to have a good behavior, to be accepted. Discipline is an outcome of what you do so that you can be accepted in any area you go because I may say if you lack discipline even here you can't be accepted. So what we need is a good character, good behavior that will produce good discipline to be accepted wherever you go. Good character. Good character. Good behavior. Good behavior. How can someone build character? To build a character first you have to understand yourself. First of all you have to understand yourself and understand who you are and take an action. Get your identity. Your identity, understand your identity, understand who you are and take an action because even if you are being told about the good character and you don't take action it will never be effective in your life. So after you understand who you are you take an action as a youth and you make a decision this is the life I'm going to live so that I may have a good character, a good discipline. Personal discipline. So personal decision. And that's where the terminology self-discipline. Yes self-discipline. It's a personal thing. It's a personal decision. It's a personal thing and you can't change a character of someone not unless he makes or she makes a decision. You can't change someone. You can't. So people who are dating they say I will change him. I know he's not disciplined but I will change him. It is not easy. That's a lie. You need to take a time with your somebody. Teach him the correct ways of living. And then somebody will make a decision and decide this is the life I'm going to live. Even you right now it is not easy to change you. It's not easy. It is not easy. So what I am supposed to do is to teach you the right way to show you the way through material things, through Bible, through whatever and you make a decision after getting the content of the message. You make a decision. Now I have known the truth and this truth is the one I'm going to follow. Now that one will change your character, will change your behavior and then you laugh at good discipline. Without good character and good behavior you can't be a disciplined person. And these are the things that make people to fail in life. Lack of character, lack of character, lack of discipline. Those are the things making people are failing in life. People are losing so many things, are losing opportunities because we are lacking good character and good discipline. At the bear in mind, discipline has its own source. What do you mean when you say it has its own source? It has its own source. Praise the living God. Amen. Hallelujah. Someone say amen. Because the Bible says in the book of Proverbs, the way you raise a child is the way he or she will be. He will never depart. He will never depart. Train up a child according to how he will be and he will never depart from me. He will never depart. So we are talking the character and the discipline of the youth but we have to go back and see our foundation. How the child, how the youth was raised. Because that one will determine how the youth will grow. How the youth will have a character. How the youth will have a good discipline. I want us to take a short break. Yes. But even as we come back, you are going to tell me about this. You are talking about the roots. Is it possible for someone who has been brought up in a particular way to develop new styles, new characters, new habits, new morals? Yes. Is it possible? It is possible. It is possible. And how can we challenge the status quo? Yes. Tkwana'ki womena kwa wajima kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa. Kwa kwa watumbhkana, hibagu na kwa kwa wajima kwa kabili. Is it pwazimi buti meiki kwa kwa ma'i kwa kwa wajimu kotifu miki? Ya, kwa kwa kwa ma'i kwa karakta. You kwa sabili at some point wajimi hati. But you say it is ma'i wombil. It is ma'i wombil. We're taking a shift break but we will be backض llingga with more in a bit. People keep talking in the morning.
