Do All Corrections In Love

By

“Correction Is An Indication Of Genuine Love”

Anchor Text: “Because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son” Hebrews 12:6.

Human beings are bound to make mistakes. No one is void of one mistake or the other as long as he/she still has breath. No man is ‘Mr. Know all’, no man is perfect. This is why one must heed corrections where necessary. Whoever rejects or refuses to be corrected is treading towards destruction. The Bible says; ‘before destruction the heart of man is haughty’ Proverbs 8:12a. The question is; what is correction? A change that makes something right, accurate or better. Correction is put in place to right whatever is wrong. But correction is never effective if it is void of love.

God’s words say a father corrects the son he loves (Hebrews 12:6). This indicates that correction is proof of love towards one another. The most effective ones take place when the other person knows that you genuinely love and care for him. If you go to ‘set him straight’ or ‘prove that he’s wrong’, but do not show concern for him, he will probably not adopt the viewpoint you are arguing for. Come what may, while correcting avoid argument. This is because the one in sin might counter by attacking you or your motives. If you allow yourself to be drawn into a kind of quarrel, you cannot be effective in correction. You can be firm and unwavering without raising your voice or losing your temper.

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...
