He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, but he who refuses correction goes astray. Proverbs 10:17

Keep the correction that God has given you by the Word, for it shows you the way to life and the solution to your problems, as well as the fulfillment that the Lord has envisioned for you. Your position has been determined by the Most High, so pursue it with all your heart, for He only works wonders. Nothing can stop you from having your share in the Promised Land, the Gospel of God. Be vigilant and live!

He who respects the Most High is not afraid of the devil, but he who does not fear the Lord surrenders to the accuser and his plans (1 John 5:18). This is very serious. Without exercising your authority in Christ, you are being led to death, the devil’s nature (John 10:10). Then, no matter how hard you try to act rightly, the prince of this world will overpower and destroy you. However, if you maintain godly fear, things will go well for you and your family (Psalm 1:1-3).

The lack of fulfillment in many people’s lives is a sign that there is no respect for the Almighty’s correction. Those who live this way are never satisfied or never feel complete. This is a sign that the Creator left in the creature, so that he would not get lost in the lies of the hellish kingdom. God’s love for us was present even before we were begotten in our mother’s womb (Jeremiah 1:5; Ephesians 1:4,5).

Whoever fears the Lord feels complete with what He gives: possessions, health, marriage, and other elements essential to life, and no evil will visit him (Hebrews 13:5,6). In fact, when we walk in obedience to God, He supplies our needs, for He has already guided us not to take anything along the way: And He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything? So they said, “Nothing” (Luke 22.35). He is faithful!

If we pay attention to correction, God will fill us with goods, even if we don’t ask for it: If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! (Matthew 7:11). Why reject the words of the heavenly Father, when He guarantees that everything will be provided for us? His love never fails for those who have His commandments and keep them. The Lord is great! Believe!

The person who takes the Lord’s correction finds that no evil will befall him (Psalms 91:10). He will go through life unharmed and will no longer be touched by the father of lies. None of the enemy’s plans will prevail against those who serve the Lord with enthusiasm. Don’t let yourself be carried away by temptations. Know God’s will and fulfill it. There will be no condemnation for the one who believes in Christ. God is good!

Enjoy the gifts that the Most High has shown you, for they belong to those who are faithful to Him. Not to accept reproof is to stop loving God and to stop doing His will. The faithful one keeps the Word, so the devil cannot operate in his life. It is better to turn to the Lord, confess your mistakes, and believe that you have been forgiven (1 John 1:9). Whoever believes will see the glory of God (John 11:40).

In Christ, with love,
