In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of discipline in our daily lives, even in our interactions with others. He highlights Proverbs 28:20, which warns against the pursuit of wealth and the potential punishment it brings. The blessings mentioned in the verse are seen as earthly provisions that God provides when we prioritize His kingdom. However, when these blessings exceed our needs, they can become a curse.

The speaker encourages listeners to learn from the discipline of great men of God who have effectively managed their time and avoided wasting it on useless things.
