Discipleship Habit 12 Holy and Peaceable Life
Discipleship Question: Are you living a holy and peaceable life that is attractive to others?
Matt 5:5
• What are you initial thoughts when you hear the word ‘meek’?
• The word translated ‘meek’ is used in other literature to describe a wild horse that is under the control of the rider, hence ‘meek’ is not a term of weakness but that of ‘power under control of the master’.
• Understanding meekness in this way how does it seem now?
• So we’ve come 3 steps. (1) Recognising our spiritual poverty; (2) Being sorrowful of the fact we offended God with our spiritual poverty, our sinfulness; (3) Recognising that we need to have our strength under the control of the Master, God.
• Spend some time reflecting and praying about how you are going meeting the conditions of being under the blessing of God.
• What is the major issue you need to deal with in your life at the moment? What is one step you need to take? Do it!
