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.

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 ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
