Rev 3:19 ( As many as I love, I rebuke and chastise; be zealous therefore and repent)
This is a saying that goes, ‘A child I love, I rebuke and reprimand.’ If God is warning you, it means He cares for you and loves you perfectly.
It’s only a bastard that won’t allow himself to be corrected for he has another father who tolerates nonsense.
Some errors are made by some people that God won’t say anything concerning it, God might have warned them but they remain stiff-necked, if it has resulted in God’s keeping silent and won’t dare to correct you, it only means that God has removed his hand over your life the next thing is to face the consequences of your sin in full.
Before God released judgment on some people he would have allowed them to be proud and become stiff-necked till their cups of iniquity filled to the brim.
Some ministers started well, but in the middle of their journey they erred and were misled out of the way, God would have warned them, but for one reason or the other, they refused to be corrected.
It’s not the day that God left Saul that he was removed from the throne of Israel, that is how some Christians’ lives are, they behave like Samson who thought that the power was still there till he found himself grinding pepper for his enemies..
Why must you wait till the end, when there is no point of turning back, why will you wait till you become a mockery and death is knocking at your door before you ask for mercy?
When God remains silent and you can’t receive direction from him again, know that there is trouble lurking at the corner, for your case is closed and the judgment is set.
There are different categories of men in the house, some are servants, while some are slaves and some are children and some are sons, which category do you belong in the house of God?
You know that servants don’t stay in the house forever, it’s only the son who stays till the end because he belongs to the family.
You can’t correct a servant the way you would correct your child, you can only correct him in business-related issues that join you together, his personal life is none of your business.
Bastard doesn’t listen to correction, like an adage that says, the house that is still experiencing peace it’s the bastard among them that is yet to grow.
Likewise in the house of God, there are bastards there are sons, bastards don’t respect the Father the head of the family, it’s natural to them for they don’t belong there.
Servant serves for money and material gain, the mystery of the kingdom was not known to them.
There are things written in the Bible that only the sons will understand and follow, if you’re among those who say that until God manifests and shows them to way to live right before they obey, it only means that you don’t belong to the family.
If you can’t listen to Moses and the prophets, it only means that you’re doomed for destruction, even if someone is sent from the grave you won’t listen.
Sons and daughters understand the language of their Father but bastards don’t, God says, Don’t do this, and you do otherwise expecting God to punish and rebuke you, but if that doesn’t happen, you claim that he agrees with your rebellion so you ask others to join you in your rebellious state.
Some ministers have gone haywire in the things of God, they have adopted things that God spoke against and they are moving freely, they are moving gradually towards the grave, no warning from the throne of mercy, brother if you are like this, God has given up on you, it’s the fiery judgment of God you should be expecting.
It’s not the day God announced Saul to be removed that he left the throne, twenty years after God announced through Samuel, Saul was still ruling as a king in Israel.
Don’t mistake your earthly treasure as signs of approval from God, the church in the book of Revelation was announced as dead and poor but is very rich in earthly treasure.
Most denominations are like this, they have abandoned God all this while but their life is still like an empty barrel that makes the loudest noises.
It’s the person he loves that he rebuked and reprimanded to make a U-turn back to his presence.
If you’re a child of God, he won’t allow you to go the way of Balaam, nor will he allow you to go the way of Jezebel, he will use all his heavenly resources to bring you back to the right path..
Some ladies who claim that if God isn’t interested in them putting on makeup and attachment, he would have shown them in a dream or revealed it to them.
Don’t worry sister, maybe your name is not even written in the book of life, that is why God isn’t concerned with your matter, when you reach the judgment seat you will understand very well.
If your life has reached a stage where you want to imprison the person God sent to warn you, your case has gone beyond repair, just be waiting for the fiery judgment of God.
If the Lord hasn’t warned you about your crooked ways, it only means God is no more interested in you, it’s not all those who came to Jesus that he preached to, he used parables for others because they were doomed for destruction, why will he waste his energy on them?
If it remains a day for the one God loves to enter the pit, he will send light to direct his path.
Whatever forms of afflictions you’re passing through as a Christian is a sign of love, he wants to protect and guide you, if you allow him, he will guide you through your earthly journey and you will come back to give him the praise.
If a child is loved by God and the child doesn’t reciprocate the love, the next thing is to remove his candle and count him with infidels.
Israelites are the examples of the Lord’s chastisements, whenever they erred against him he rebuked and chastised them, any nation the Lord uses as a rod to chastise his people must be destroyed in the end.
It’s the nation that the measurements of their iniquity is full that is calling for judgment which he always used to rebuke his people while in the end, he breaks the rod of punishment.
But his people always come back stronger than before, so also his children in this generation, that is why you don’t mock those who are being chastised by God, else you will invoke the wrath of God upon yourself.
A Christian should rejoice when he is being chastised, he should count himself worthy of God’s love, because in the end, he will be restored and brought back to his lost glory.
Prayer: My Father and my God, correct me with love not with judgment so I will always remember your goodness over my life, in Jesus’ name amen.
