BE SENSITIVE TO GOD'S DISCIPLINE

 Be Sensitive to God’s Discipline! 

“And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.” 2 Thessalonians 3:14 (KJV)

God Almighty is a disciplinarian. He has the right instruments to discipline His children. The methods He uses vary from person to person. He has said in His Word that if He doesn’t discipline any child of His, then that child is a bastard (Hebrews 12:7–8). The opening scripture is about the methods He uses to disciple His children. Anyone who disregarded Apostle Paul’s epistle should be noted or marked for disassociation so that they feel ashamed and repent. Dear beloved, are you sensitive to God’s discipline? Being sensitive to God’s discipline is a mark of maturity in Christ Jesus. Anyone insensitive to God’s discipline will be meted with severe punishment till he or she repents. For example, the prophet Jonah was punished severely for His disobedience till He repented. Then God gave him the opportunity again, and this time he obeyed to the glory of God (Jonah 2:1–10, 3:1–7). Beloved, when you become unrepentant even after punishment, the Lord will no longer be interested in using you to fulfill His will and purpose. Remember that He set aside King Saul because of his continual disobedience and chose David instead (1 Samuel 13:13–14). Beloved, be sensitive to God’s discipline and conform to it, and you will become mature for Him to use you, and you will train others to be discipline as well. Hallelujah! Be an overcomer!

Prayer Point: My righteous Father, You are the only God I know. Thank You for putting in place the instruments and the methods of discipline to mold me into the caliber of person You want me to be in order to fulfill Your will and purpose. Please lead me to also teach others how to submit to Your discipline and be blessed in Jesus’ name. Amen!
