7 Benefits of His Rod & Staff + WHY His Rod and Staff is prophetically included in His Love Plan for us.
Proverbs
three verses twelve: For whom the LORD loves He corrects, Just as a father
the son in whom he delights.
Hebrews twelve verses six and seven; For whom the Lord
loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.” If you endure chastening,
God deals with you as with sons;
The above
Scriptures are self-explanatory of experiences to many like me (with spiritual knowledge); of the prophetic link
between grace and discipline which connects with
growing up with very strict parents of an archetypal (African-Nigerian-Igboic mpa and nma).
For
example, when a typical African Nigerian mother accords your (iberiberism) misbehaviors with
some (Fireful brain resettable slaps, brain correction knocks, danceable spanks on your bum
or hands). Then,
thou will know that the Lord is indeed good and His mercies endureth forever. If you know what i am saying here, you know, if you no come know
nko, na explain dem go dey explain simple matter to you. Mumsie ever
knocked your stubborn head or draw your ears and add up some hot squeezes to
caution you or correct you for not keeping to home terms and conditions or
cores? There and then you will realize the difference between Rhema and logos
of the word of God.
Sincerely speaking, if you didn’t go through this process
growing up, it means you missed a greater season of life and most importantly
the Mumsie love (for those of us wey get stubborn materials inside our medulla oblongata). Mumsie does
this sincerely out of love just to help straighten that long stem-like
structure which makes up part of our brainstem; the anterior and partially
inferior to the cerebellum.
I chose the role of mothers here because, mum’s
knows how potentially empowered their children are and the driving capacity for
greatness that brings honour to the family, but she also knows the stranger (distractions,
peer pressure and undue pleasure) playing kokoma sound in our brains. So the
best form of correction measure to secure the future of her child/children and
reposition them are the above brain correction application mentioned above; resettable slaps, brain correction knocks, danceable
spanks on your bum or hands.
If you are a
sheep, then you should be conversant with rods and staffs in the hands of the
Shepherd; and that to follow the Shepherd gracefully and instructively will
make you a better and greater sheep. Also, knowing that the rod and the staff
in His hands connects you to follow with the sense of becoming the desire of
the shepherd. Most instructively, the rod and staff also assist you always to stay
off destruction or destructive lanes.
Terms and
conditions make business honourable and profitable and it is the beauty of
every business engagement. From my experience with most “Christians” this is
one area you must not mention to them; else you won’t see them again. But, we
cannot claim to be in the LOVE PLAN of God without His ROD & His STAFF. The
beauty of His Rod and Staff is the comfort it brings; else we live unhealthy,
malnourished and unfit to enjoy His blessings, for His blessings makes rich and
adds no sorrow to it. Just imagine having money with no peace of mind, the
riches without health, it is the same as having love without rod and staff, such
love will be comfortless and the blessings that should accords relationship with the Father will be in scarce commodity. It is written, it is him that the Father
loves that He chastises.
