Love and Discipline : Letter of LOVE from your Pastors/Life-Group Leaders ❤️❤️❤️
Proverbs 13:24
"Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them."
Beloved Disciples,
🌟Our connection isn't just that of teacher and student; it's deeper than that. As the Scripture says, "Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel." (1 Corinthians 4:15)
🌟You affectionately refer to us as Dad-Mom, not simply because it's customary, but because God has entrusted us with the sacred duty of spiritual parenting—to nurture, instruct, correct, uplift, and unveil God's purpose for you through His living Word. Our utmost desire is to draw you nearer to Jesus, where you'll flourish and resemble Him more each day.
🌟We understand that sometimes our words may seem stern or strict, but know this—they stem from a place of love. Our intention is never to cause you pain; rather, it's to steer you towards righteousness, where denying your old self becomes a pathway to embracing God's will.
🌟In the warmth of the Lord's love, we yearn to guide you along the righteous path. Listen closely, dear children of God, and embrace wisdom.
Proverbs 15:20
"A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man despises his mother."
🌟Discipleship isn't merely a church program; it's God's way of restoring us to His divine plan—for peace, prosperity, and eternal joy. Sin may obstruct this plan, but through Jesus, we find redemption and restoration, returning to the embrace of our Heavenly Father.
🌟Jesus' love for you surpasses all bounds, and as your spiritual mentors, our hearts echo reflect this desire. We yearn nothing but the abundant life He offers.
🌟Please, dear ones, don't make your journey harder than it needs to be. Surrender to His grace, and watch as it empowers you to walk in obedience and joy.
Know this always—
Love, Guidance, and Blessings,
Your Pastors/Cell Leaders❤️
