Your Attitude to Correction
by Apostle (Prof.) Johnson Suleman

TEXT: “Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning “.Proverbs 9 :8 – 9.

Your attitude to correction determines the extent of your learning from men of wisdom. When people correct you accordingly on something that will improve your personality, why not accept the correction by thanking them for it? Why rebuke people who excused you and even pleaded that you should not be offended on what they want to tell you before they correct you, when you know you are guilty of such? Many errors people make publicly are errors that would have been corrected long ago if they had the right attitude to correction. But because people around them now see them as persons that cannot be corrected, they allow them carry on with their errors, until time corrects them loudly.

One of the ways God puts his people on the right path is by correcting them. For God to still reach out to correct you, means God loves you. That is why the psalmist counsels ” My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction” Proverbs 3 :11. “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?” Heb. 12 :6 – 7.

God corrects us in various ways. By His word, by His Spirit, by His servants and men which He has put in places of authority over us. God does this to bring the best out of us both spiritually and physically. That is why to reject correction that would improve you is to be deficient. In whatever way correction comes to you, be receptive and make the best of it. To continue in the error corrected, is to deny yourself of greater opportunities that you would have fit in if not for that errors still in you.

PRAYER: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray now, help me Lord, to be open to correction…
