Rebuke?


For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
- Proverbs 3:12.

When a father loves a child, he will always rebuke him/her eg., do this, don't do that etc,. To the child and others around that aren't sensitive, will assume, he is just being mean to the child. I know some take things to the extreme. But, the truth is, he want the best from and for the child.

In the lives of the Israelite for example, when they were very close to God, He still rebuke them, sometimes it can result to lost of live(s), as the case may be, that is, when someone transgress.
When He is not pleased with their activities at all, after several rebuke, another nation will just evade Israel, kill, take them captive and take away their spoils. But, ones they repent, He is found in them and restore them back.

Child! If your father claim to love you and does not rebuke you, you should be afraid of that father. Seriously, you should be concern. No matter how obedient and discipline we are, there are few times we slip, and should be brought to order(of course, I don't mean with rod, when it is not necessary, but some needs it). However, it is another thing altogether, if the child is even learning anything at all!
"He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." Proverbs 13:24. 

 And Proverbs 29:15 says, 
"The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame." see also, Proverbs 23:13-14.
God is a loving Father, He wouldn't watch us mess up, when we can do better.

Have a fruitful week, in this month of August...

Jesus is Lord!

Strong 2020

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: - 1 Corinthians 15:36 No seed that is afraid of being planted, will ever think itself qualified to ever produce more fruits, it will die alone. Every seed that must reproduce, must of a necessity go through the process of plantation, if the future is in view. It is hard, yes. But that is the only way to duplicate oneself. John 12:24 says,  "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."  In this year 2020, if you seriously care, you need to die to self, and alive to God, in other to impact your world. Living a life of mediocre, will not benefit you, and certainly no one else around. Strong? Yes! Why not, if it will get your attention. So, no matter how you have ignored God's instructions until now, make a quality decision to realign, this new year, and start early. Happy New Year, once again...

EXIGENCY

  You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:2.  Ever wondered how come so and so did such and got away with it, but when you attempted it, you got cut and punished for it? There could be chances you are separated to God as a chosen vessel [not certainly, but likely]. "if yes" , as a result, you can't do what you like, only what is permitted. The society have drifted to the place where people don't talk about purpose anymore except their individualistic goals. Well, if you came from God, He already has a plan for you, it is suppose to be your primary assignment in life to discover it. Not to ignore it, in pursuit of your own self centered aspirations, it may not go down well. Some of the reasons you were probably rejected in certain areas in life is not because you aren't qualified, but because you're out of place. When God chose Abram, he didn't succeed in anything else even at 75yrs...
