Dear Disciple,
The moment you start checking other people’s sermon notes for what to correct or criticise, you should know that gradually you are playing soccer with your God given assignment.
You will notice that you are unable to do a focused Bible study and teaching because you are only inspired by the ‘spirit’ of correction.
The right approach to what YOU perceive as error is the teaching and teaching and teaching of the truth…in love. (REPETITION DELIBERATE)
Also know that when you point fingers, you are planting seeds of bitterness towards that fellow in the heart of the people that are listening to you…soon you’ll reap it because one day you too will “misyarn” and they will eat you up because you have raised Hyenas, when they don’t have anyone else to eat, they will turn to you.
I implore you, teach, don’t engage in unfruitful argument and arbour a critical spirit that leads to sin and more sin…it won’t profit you or anyone else.
Have you seen anyone win an argument? Or have you seen a soul won through argument? The better way is clear teaching trusting the Holy Spirit to open the eyes of people.
There are lots of things God wants to reveal to you but your heart is so clouded with “useless” things such that the lenses of your spirit can only see a point supporting your unnecessary argument as you study and pray.
STOP NOW!
Be a smart disciple.
