Discipline or correction is a word that is not nice to me! Most of you would think that this is an easy job for me to carry out…. Well I must tell you I don’t like to do this or hate to do this to be more precise! As a leader we are to correct those under us when we (leaders) see that something is not right in our members.
It’s hard! Each time I need to do this my heart would pump like mad! BUT why I still do it, you may asked… I do it because I understand this principal of stated in Heb 12:5-11:-
1) Because of love – if you don’t care about that person you will not give a damn to why you need to correct he/she ya… It is because I care and would like to see them elevate to their potential that’s why I do it.
2) To protect others – correction can be done to one member so that the rest of the group or pack will not be contaminated. I guard my people closely.
3) Knowing that it will bring benefit to that person – able to place the person on the right track towards a successful life or their destiny.
It is because of the above that it pushes me to correct or discipline. It gets harder when your care or love for that person increases (this is especially so for parents, I belief) BUT I guess it’s a must!
Before I do it I will always check myself first! We shall correct/discipline with the right mindset and heart condition. Our correction towards others should never be vengeful or for personal benefit!
So, know that discipline is never comfortable to both party – the one that correct and the one that is receiving correction. Hai…. Hard TASK! :-(

2008 Half year...
GOSH!!! The times really fly by this year! Without realizing there goes half a year! So I took some time in reflecting what had happen and what I’ve done the first half of the year? At first I thought nothing really much happened…. Hee hee.. as I didn’t realize ah… I’ve just been handling things as they come along my way!!!!
As I reflect I realized that I’ve definitely grown and matured very much spiritually! It SUPER LLLOOOTS that is! I Praise God for how He has allowed me to grow in this manner and of course am honor to be able to grow and got to know more of Him. It had not been easy as He really stretch me in many ways. He has stretched me in my spiritual growth, ministry, career, family responsibilities, and my leadership style, skills and approach.
One major thing that God did in my live is the shift of my attention to building and passing on what I have to the next generation. These came very strong at the end of February 2008. I didn’t know much or what I could give to the next generation as I felt that I’m still at the stage of learning! Well, God works differently….. Today I’m proud to say that I’m a part of building the next generation and I’m TRULY enjoying it! By doing so I realized that I’ve grown a lot! It is all those late nights of pen-ing down what I’ve inside me to pass down to the next generation that have caused much growth in me. So, I do encourage ALL of you to be involved in teaching! Because in order for you to teach you will first have to know the area well enough, even if you don’t, by having an opportunity to teach it will push you to know the area better!
I now realized that I’ve been keeping much store in me and not releasing enough. By not releasing NOTHING new can be filled into my life. It’s just like a hard disk; it has a limited amount of capacity. If we need to install new software into it, we will first need to uninstall the old version first. Our life is exactly as such, if we don’t allow the old to be release in us, we won’t be upgraded lor…
I’m excited for the coming next half year! As I do believe it will be as fulfilling as the first half of the year for me! Here I would like to give all glory and honor to God for how He has used me in many areas! I’m honored to be used! Thank you Lord Jesus! Wouldn’t have been able to accomplished so much without You. Jesus, You are the BEST!!
