BE RECEPTIVE TO EVERY RIGHT INSTRUCTION AND CORRECTION



HELPFUL TIPS TO ENHANCE RECEPTIVENESS TO RIGHT INFORMATIONS AND CORRECTIONS

I will start with HEARTFELT APPRECIATION OF GOD AND EVERYONE WHO HAVE RIGHTLY INSTRUCTED OR CORRECTED ME AT ONE TIME OR THE OTHER.

Thanks to Divinity for all the people who didn't spare me the truth. In the form of giving me right; tutolage/training, informations, instructions, directions, rebuke, reproof, chastisements, corrections and commendations both formal and informal, spiritual and casual in the open and in the secret, one on one - direct conversation, at a distance, on the pulpit, on social media, via body language, through music, movies and stage dramas, written note/books/magazines/dailies/tracts, tape/video/cd/vcd/dvd and via radio/tv/cable/satellite tranmissions.

I register my sincere appreciation to all of you out there who didn't keep to yourself those words or messages that had made my life better. Not only have you saved a soul (refering to me alone); you have saved generations and nations. For if you failed to reach out when you did, I would have rotten and the glorious destiny of billions connected to my brightness would have been aborted. May you receive the rewards that is due you.

On my own part too, firstly; I appreciate myself for consitent improvement at being receptive to the right informations and corrections which I also owe to God who gave me such a willing heart to learn and to advance well.

Secondly; having taken a clue from the wonders your generousity have wrought on me, I also make a commitment to spare no one of the real truth by consistently informing, instructing, directing, rebuking, reproofing, chastising, correcting and commending them rightly both in the open and behind closed doors regardless of status and circumstances.

And for the person reading this piece, if I may ask: how receptive are you to the right informations, instructions, rebuke and corrections and, how do you treat people who bid to guide you right? Just think about it deeply and make the right amendment if you are found wanting.

Always ensure that you are uncompromisingly disposed to receive and firmly take to the right instructions and corrections in whatever format by whoever.

Be grateful for every right information or rebuke that comes your way.

Likewise, show appreciation to your instructors and whoever chastises and corrects you. You have nothing to lose at all. Being totally receptive to the truth and to humbly accept correction without taking an offence at the other person can only make you.

Bury your ego right now because the next person that will correct you may be the least of your subordinates. Do not be full of yourself.

Avoid overfamiliarity as well. The person that will give you a helpful information or correction may be one of your friends or your spouse or spiritual instructor or customer or just anyone you often come in contact with lest you commonice and consider the person to be regular.

Incase you have problem accepting instruction or correction, reach out for the right help in the right direction. Number one point of call is to commune with God in prayer relating your situation to Him to receive a divine touch and enablement. Then, it will be easy to locate people that could also be of help.

Know that it is not shameful to be rightly instructed on what to do or corrected over what you do/did wrong. While it is brutal not to be informed or corrected when needed, it is worst to only welcome instructions or corrections with no implementation or totally reject them.

Finally, ensure you always share the right information and corrections with others where necessary. But don't be disappointed or descouraged when your kind gesture and generousity at giving instruction or correction is not appreciated by the person in question or others closeby. It is always good, right and required to timely give people the right information or correction if you know better as per the issue of concern.

"He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray." - Proverbs 10:17

"A man who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed - without remedy." Proverbs 29:1
Suggested quotes: Proverbs 1:20-33 and Job 36:5-33
