Accept discipline

“People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life, but those who ignore correction will go astray.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭10‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Discipline comes when we make a step that is proud, cruel, rude or arrogant and built in the flesh. Fleshly attitudes that comes from the pit, inspired by it crafted by it to destroy and carried out by us in a foolish moment need repenting of or removing from our dialogue.

Recently I was being besieged by a young worker for help and I said it depended upon the assent of another senior member. He began proposing reasons as to why he had not heard from this member, I disagreed with his reasons as I knew what attacks my mind was undergoing at the time and knew they were from the pit. I surmised that he also was being lied to by our common enemy, I was right. That senior member had no data on his mobile and had relied upon our junior member to top it up. Once the phone was corrected we were able to again communicate and move on.

In the past I have been fodder for the enemy of my soul as he attempted to interfere with my attitude to others. He is a liar and a deceiver and accepting lies about others is like taking poison and feeding that poison to others. This is the worst part, feeding the lies to others and destroying the reputations of others.

God will not tolerate us destroying others, or working for the enemy of their souls. They have enough problems with true enemies without us joining in. We are called to confront our own sin and the sins of others against us and otherwise build each other up.

Don’t work for the destroyer ! Amen!
