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! :-(
