TOPIC: THE IMPORTANCE OF DIVINE CORRECTIONS
Correction is a change that rectifies an errors and sent it back for correction.
TEXT: 2Timothy 3:16-17, all scripture is given by inspiration of GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for resproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of GOD may be perfect, thoroughly, furnished unto all good works.
GOD does not only speak to directly to us, he also speak to corrects us. GOD corrects us when we misinterpret his direction or mis-understand his plan, and are open for his direction or correction.
GOD spend his precious time putting his lovely children right. GOD, the supreme GOD furnishes and decorates us not only through his principles, but also through his reproofs, corrections and instruction. Unfortunately most Christians are only committed to the principles and ignore corrections, and as a result, many are victims of life
The bible says in II Timothy 3:16-17, the scriptures have a four-fold ministry to shapen our lives rebuke (1) it gives doctrine, (2) reproofs (3) corrections and instructions, when we talk about divine direction or guidance, we are talking of the plan, the reproofs that come along the way, the corrections that are released to you and the instructions that you must follow.
His doctrine unfolds his plan, his reproof changes us from taking a dangerous steps, his correction sets us on the right path to go and his instruction guides us every steps of the way.
You cannot successfully pursue your GOD-Given vision without a good understanding of the importance of divine correction. Where as it takes wisdom to enjoy direction, it takes meekness to receive correction from the LORD.
• Anyone can cheaply work into error and remain their without Divine Correction.
Anyone that is not open to divine corrections, will soon become a victim of life. Because, we are walking with the all knowing GOD.
• In order to be thoroughly furnished and fulfil destiny, you must be open to the LORD’s principles, reproofs, instructions and corrections
WHY WE NEED CORRECTION
The journey of life is so long and without a guide, we will be lost.
• We need corrections because the Bible tells us in the book of proverbs 14:12. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” there are things that you and I like to do, but the end of that road is death.
That is why you and I need to be open to the LORD’s corrections
• Many destinies have been affected negatively as a result of people going on a wrong direction. They have lost the vitality of life because they went off course. Unfortunately also, they have made up their minds to continue in their mistakes. They have said to themselves, “this is what I must do” And GOD doesn’t waste his time speaking to someone, who will not be corrected, that is why he only corrects the meek psalm 25:9 the meek will be guide in judgement and the meek will he teach his way.
A reminder of the 3kings that came to Elisha seeking direction in 2kings 3:14 Elisha said to the king of Isreal, “as the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jeshosaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
This is because Elisha knew from past records with the king of Isreal that he doesn’t take advice or listen to instructions.
GOD does not waste his words: he speak only to those who will value it. When your mind is made up, he leaves you to lead yourself.
But when you are meek and are truly open to his guidance, he steps into correct you every time you are off track, since there is no error free human in this world, all we need to do is to open up for his corrections, and he will always be there to make it happen.
Finally: man will always need correction, because he is liable to mis-interpretaions and errors – you cannot remain on course with divine plan and not find your way to the top.
