Accepting Reproof

[Minister Monardo]

2 Timothy 3:
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be complete,
thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The bigger issue is whether or not someone would act
or change their behavior based on that word.
The willingness to receive correction is essential
to a healthy relationship with the Lord.
When is the last time you witnessed someone
receiving a rebuke in front of everyone?
As it goes with scripture!

1 Timothy 5:20 Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all,
that the rest also may fear.

2 Timothy 4:
1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ,
who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season.
Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine,
but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears,
they will heap up for themselves teachers;
4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

Titus 2::15 Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority.
Let no one despise you.

Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present,
but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit
of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

and he that hates reproof shall die.

than an hundred stripes into a fool.

It's easy to give and hard to take. It is a blessing. Because our battles are not against flesh and blood, some individuals tend to focus on the world that is visible and miss the deeper matters that God has many positions to fill, in reference towards.

We should all indeed be pliable to it, yet also understand what test the Spirit's means, in reference to this.

We should all indeed be pliable to it, yet also understand what test the Spirit's means, in reference to this.

To not trust the elders/leaders of your church who are being addressed and tasked with enforcing discipline, is the same as not trusting the Lord who placed you in that position. It is difficult, because we are even told that it is better to suffer wrongly for the Lord's sake. In the end, we are always better off...
Psalm 119:
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.
68 You are good, and do good;
Teach me Your statutes.
69 The proud have forged a lie against me,
But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease,
But I delight in Your law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.
72 The law of Your mouth is better to me
than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

To endure false accusations while remaining faithful
to ministry comes with the territory.

This is what it means to be blameless,
to accept correction from a loving Father.

Proverbs 3:
11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor detest His correction;
12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects,
Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

You Must Be Blameless To Be Blessed

Psalm 119: 1 Blessed are the blameless in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord! 2 Blessed are those who keep His witness, who seek Him with the whole heart! Those who kept His witness Genesis 6:9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, blameless in his generations. Noah walked...

Titus 3:
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly,
that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works.
These things are good and profitable to men.
9 But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law;
for they are unprofitable and useless.
10 Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition,
11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.
