Hebrews
12:6 AMP ‘The Lord corrects and disciplines everyone He loves.’
Prayer
Lord
Jesus, I want to thank You for correcting me in my walk with You. This has
helped me to grow spiritually; knowing You are totally committed to me helps me
want to be obedient to Your sovereign will. You are dealing with me
correctively and are leading me in in a way I don’t understand, but I will
continue to place my trust in You and I ask You to increase my faith in Jesus
Christ my precious Lord.
I
have a firm grip on Your love for me now, and I am convinced that nothing could
ever separate me from God’s love. Those whom You (dearly and tenderly) love
will tell me my faults and You will convict and convince, reprove and chasten
me in Your love. I praise and thank You for this.
The
desires I have within my heart is not to be unruly anymore. I want to walk a
life of total obedience with Jesus Christ depending upon Him for all of my
needs. I ask for the help of the Holy Spirit of God who enables and empowers me
with His supernatural power and strength to do this. Thank You for Your
blessings which You have in store for me and I will trust You for the rest in
Christ Jesus my precious Lord. Amen.
Lessons
to be Learnt
If
you want to grow spiritually, first you have to have a relationship with God
through Jesus Christ and through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of
God. You must want to live a life of total obedience to God and be consistent in
surrendering your life daily to Him. This is a matter of choice and no one can
make you do something you do not want to do. It is your choice to make the
decision and whatever decision you come to may it be pleasing to God. God will
not make you do anything you do not want to do He leaves all the choices to us.
Having a firm foundation in Jesus Christ being rooted and grounded in Him helps
and convinces us that nothing will ever separate us from God’s love as long as
we place our trust in Him.
In Revelation 13:19 AMP says, “Those whom I (dearly
and tenderly) love, I tell their faults, and convict and convince reprove and
chasten.” The strongest evidence of God’s love and approval for you is the fact
that He convicts and corrects us when we do things wrong. God does not change
anyone of His rules to please individual people His rules are written for each one
of us to follow. In Colossians 3:23-25 NCV says: In all the work you are doing
work the best you can. Work as if you were doing it for the Lord, not for
people. Remember that you will receive your reward from the Lord, which He
promised to His people. You are serving the Lord Christ. But remember that
anyone who does wrong will be punished for that wrong, and the Lord treats
everyone the same.
