🧠WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT CORRECTION🤔

Part 1 - Why Correction?
When you hear correction, what comes to the mind of most is only rebuke or judgement because most times, after it, we often feel remorseful.

Here's what you've been missing all along - Help. Yes, the purpose of correction is (and should be) first to help. If you are to correct others and your motive or priority isn't help, you are likely to correct wrongly and irrationally (without humility); why?

Part 3 - Holy Spirit
One of the most paramount and basic trait of the leading of the Spirit is Correction. To believers, Holy Spirit is meant to help you by correction. That's the essence of his instructions and advice (counsel) because you will never be right by "self" and "flesh". 

Holy Spirit will only reprove (rebuke) the "world" of sin, righteousness and judgment but to believers, He corrects (helps). 

Part 4 - Holy Spirit - Rebuke or Correct?
You should rebuke the devil and demons (criticize harshly) but correct fellow believers like the Holy Spirit. If you don't yield to the Spirit's correction (to counsel, help and guide you; don't worry He'll comfort you later; and you'll be convinced but you've just learned it the hard way.

Correction avoids looking for ways to mend things when they're too late but leave it the best way it should be. Allow Him to correct you through your Spirit first and through the men that host Him (like Moses and Jethro), not anyhow people. 

Part 5 - Rebuke or Correct?
You can't imagine Jesus heeding to the corrections of pharisees; He's always helped and helps others unlike the pharisees. Don't wait to be corrected by God through unbelievers or things, like Balaam; it is wrong. (2Pet 2:15)

Carnality is to be rebuked iin men (even believers) but on spirituality, it is to be corrected instead (Tit 1:13, 2:15).. 

Part 6 - Rebuke or Correct?(II)
Jesus never rebuked His disciples, He rebukes demons and devils instead. Don't Rebuke men but the spirits influencing them; then correct them after. Sinners are to be rebuked not saints except for signs of carnality (1Tim 5:20, 2Tim 4:2).

That's why God chastises His sons (to deal with carnality; for correction like a natural father would) but rebukes bastards (unbelievers, influenced by the devil - Heb 12:5-11) because they aren't yet His (though not totally castaway if they repent and believe). 

Part 7 - Angels
Angel Michael won't rebuke his fellow angels but the devil (Jud 1:9) because they receive updates at all times to right wrongs and minister to men (Dan 10:13), representing God (Heb 1:14).

Since they aren't perfect (all are correctable) we (believers) that are perfect by the Spirit now and will be made perfect (at Rapture) by the Spirit will judge these angels (1Cor 6:3).

Part 8 - Prove of Excellence
God chastises and rebukes men for carnality or sin but corrects men for spirituality and on spiritual things (Rev 3:19). 

"Correction is a trait of excellence, embrace it" - Evang. Akintunde Ajibesin. Correction is painful because you are not allowed to do your will but it's helpful to make you right and the best which proves excellence. 

Part 9 - The Scope
Correction is not always the way people are doing it either right or wrong but to prove what's best and more preferably right to God's perspective; not humans'. It's improvement on the norms and order of things by men. 

Few examples:
-Don't make people anticipate when you're not ready with what to introduce. People can be tired of waiting. 
-Humble yourself before everyone and respect all (including their privacy); greatness indwells both young and old.

Part 10 - Other Examples 
🚶‍♂️Cultivate Seldom Passing by Without Notice! (1)🚶‍♂️
It's not a new thing to everyone that every individual as humans love their privacy and prefer people differently in any of these categories (distant, close and/or inner circle) to mind their business except they are invited or the subject matter concerns them at any level of each category they belong to in their lives. 

We all should learn and cultivate being a knowledgeable passerby without poke-nosing or exposing others when they do not let out the secret code of their heart box to us for public news. 

🚶‍♂️Cultivate Seldom Passing by Without Notice! (2)🚶‍♂️
I learnt this lesson the hard way. Some weeks back a brother and a friend of mine (though not engaged) dares me I won't find out if he already has a sister he's trailing with in relationship. 

Though I didn't take it upon me to find out but normally and frequently as I keep observing, I just knew by spiritual perception who the sister was without telling anyone. One fateful day, I mistakenly complimented the sister's post with an intriguing or rather implicating comment to her personality with the brother. Hmmm.🤔 
 
🚶‍♂️Cultivate Seldom Passing by Without Notice! (3)🚶‍♂️
Of course, I'm not a stranger to the sister too but since either of them didn't personally confide in me, I shouldn't do anything that would prove me untrusted with secrets and a poke-noser too. 

The Holy Spirit brought my attention to that through the words of my Spiritual Father - Prophet Dare Makinde anonymously and I corrected the comment with an immediate edit; why? 
Even the Holy Spirit tells me indirectly to mind my own business. Can you imagine? So learn this and apply it. 

🚶‍♂️Cultivate Seldom Passing by Without Notice! (4)🚶‍♂️
If people did not call you to intervene in a matter and you sense the strong privacy and after your unimplicated direct or indirect questions to make them pour out the secrets to you; learn to mind your business. 

Irrespective of the relationship and closeness, even if it's your wife/husband, siblings, parents, family members, spiritual relations etc; don't poke-nose unnecessarily when you find out they are not ready to open up or its not time for you to know about such secrets. 

🚶‍♂️Cultivate Seldom Passing by Without Notice! (5)🚶‍♂️
Now, these secrets I'm referring to aren't sins or evil o. You can't watch them entering the fire and be mute. Pull them out personally with secret prayers and advise them in the level of your relationship or closeness but still, don't force them. 

However, you should honour their privacy like you would want the same for yourself. Few tips to help them pour out to you: 
Keep getting close reasonably by following. Shower them with honour and praises. Value them even with gifts. All without the intention of poke-nosing. 

⚠️🫵Don't Disturb Our Peace!😩🙏
Have you been so excited to share your progress, new development, plans and ideas etc with people you regard or highly esteem as bosses, elders or mentors in what you do? 

So much that you needed them to be invited, involved or check out and congratulate, compliment, advice or put you through better on your great work, project or achievement? It's normal and I've been in your shoes before severally. But,... 

⚠️🫵Don't Disturb Our Peace! (3)😩🙏
People love their privacy, they don't want to be disturbed with your requests for their involvement all the time because they also have their lives and that of their inner lives to deal with. 

They don't want to be forced to do things or pushed to the wall all the time by your progress and success if both of you haven't signed that agreement by the nature of your relationship and partnership; or by the level of the honour and value you've placed on them too. Because if you do that all the time, it looks like witchcraft if you don't know - compelling without free-will. 

⚠️🫵Don't Disturb Our Peace! (4)😩🙏
Have you asked, how involved, interested, following etc have you been over their progress and success too? Do to others what you'll have them do to you. 
Honour, value, speak highly, be involved, interested and be engaged by them just the way you'd want them to be to you and you'll be shocked at their commitment to all your engagements even before you share with them your progress and success. 
That is why they prefer to be available when they can be not all time like God; yes because we are all human. Remain blessed. Shalom. 🙇‍♂️ 
The End.

If you've been blessed by this short series, kindly write to me, thanks and much love 😍.

LETTER TO MY FUTURE WIFE (a promised reference to Timilehin David's similar letter years ago)

If you are reading this, it is to show how highly God has proposed and buoyantly vouched for you as the apple of his eyes. To a royal diadem, a rare gem, the good thing I'll find whose worth is beyond rubies, the brightest star in the sky I'm staring at and looking forward to embrace her shining light, my other half, the fairest among women (just like my fairy mum) whose heart is golden and cannot be bought by the worth of earthly treasures, one whose stance would cause the fall of a thousand men, and her walking steps draw the gaze of mighty men. To my future wife, whose eyes I would love to fix my gaze, whose cheeks I would love to caress, whose succulent lips I would love to taste like the honeycomb and beautiful body I would love to glue onto like the magnet on the day of matrimony. Your smile is a beaming hope, your laughter a contagious joy and your teeth like the bright spring in the sunny day. I hope reading this won't make you think I am carnal because ...

THE OTHER SIDE OF LOVE YOU DON'T KNOW

You might want to wonder, does LOVE have any other side (just like a coin though single but having two SIDES)? Do I not know about the entirety of love or does it still transcend beyond the description and exposition given to it by Apostle Paul in 1Cor 13?  Do you know that, just the way you can't decipher all that God is even though He fully demonstrated His nature of love by becoming a Father and sacrificing Himself (the Soul - Jesus the Christ as His only Son) for humanity; you can't also comprehend all that Love is because God is Love? Now, let me bring clarity to avoid confusion. What do I mean by the OTHER SIDE OF LOVE? Like everybody else will think, the answer to that question would be the painful side of love or the sacrifices of love or the challenges that may befall one because of love etc. But that's not where my target is, instead it is the most neglected nature of Love - BALANCE. When you hold a coin or are given a coin what attracts you the most i...

EXAMINATION TIPS FOR BELIEVERS

  The secret of success is to do the common thing, uncommonly well - John D. Rockefeller.  As believers, the kind of success that God wished that we manifest in is different from that of unbelievers. It is success that supercedes man's (self) ability; one that is traceable to the enabling power of God; one which can be drawn, associates and is enabled (in and) by the Spirit, so that we cannot boast of our power, knowledge, skills and every of our ability but by the strength, quickening and enabling power of God. This is applicable to all spheres: Business, Work, Education etc including Ministry. But due to the course of this writing, I'll be centering on exams especially students that are believers. If you aren't one of them, make a quick deliberate decision and be convinced of your salvation, else, you are missing out amongst Christ's family (and the benefits of being a Son, a few of what I'll be sharing here).  According to Josh 1:8 - KJV:This book of the law sh...

TRANCES OF YOUR PROPOSED STATURE

  Num 24:4 - He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open,  16 - He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open The word Trance is derived from the Greek word ( ekstasis ) meaning a displacement of the mind that is bewilderment, ecstasy; be amazed. The condition expressed by this word is a mental state in which the person affected is partially or wholly unconscious of objective sensations, but intensely alive to subjective impressions which, however they may be originated, are felt as if they were revelations from without. They may take the form of visual or auditory sensations or else of impressions of taste, smell, heat or cold etc. The English Dictionary defines it as a dazed or unconscious condition; (consciousness) a state of concentration, awareness and is foc...

DON'T GET DISCONNECTED, STAY ON COURSE

It is of no fallacy that there is no boundary, blockage or distance barrier of any sort to the access or manifestation of the Spirit. And indeed, there is no medium whatsoever that the Holy Spirit cannot use to demonstrate enormous power, no matter how unimaginable or unreasonable it may be ( Mantle - 2Ki 2:14, Hem of garment - Matt 14:36, Handkerchief and Apron - Acts 19:12, Shadow - Acts 5:15).  You might have heard of testimonies of men about the move of God's power, either through Social Media (despite the different locations - countries and continents across the globe), Audio or Video Messages and many more. Also, it is not bad or devilish for believers to have spiritual books, messages, write ups etc on their phones, laptops or any technological gadgets.  Doing these does not serve majorly any other purpose than to use them to build up ourselves spiritually and get imparted by the anointing of the Men of God. Which has helped us to access the unreachable mate...
