A PRECIOUS GIFT

One of the precious gifts a man can receive from God is the gift of an instructor(s) or a corrector(s). It is not enough to be equipped with sufficient knowledge; success is all about your vision and strength. The space of a corrector can not be occupied by books. Beyond your readings, far above your consistency, your success has to do with the relationships you have. Having someone you answer to, someone that can look into your eyes and tell you the opposite truth of the hailing you are getting from others; person(s) that can flog you with the rod of true words is a relationship you can not afford to do without.

It is okay to take charge of your decisions, actions, after all, you are the master of your boat. But it is wise not to depend solely on your knowledge or your ability to think right, because your strength can fail at times. You should get corrections and advice from people, regardless of your abundant wisdom . There should be a personality or an Entity you see through his/her eyes, that is when your success can be a sustainable growth.

The person can be anybody, any gender, of any age, so far, the person is a person of integrity and wisdom. It can even be the entity of the Holy Spirit, the greatest tutor of all time. Being rigid with this philosophy of life that says, “You are the master of your boat,” what others say does not really matter. Can be very hazardous to your success in life. Be flexible enough to take and yield to corrections, and always appreciate the corrector(s) in your life. You are lucky to have one, because it is indeed a precious gift.
