If you dislike instructions and correction, you will inevitably struggle in life, ministry, and even in your premarital relationship or marriage. God has designed life in such a way that growth comes through guidance, discipline, and humility. When you refuse to be instructed or corrected, you cut yourself off from the very process that shapes character and prepares you for greater responsibilities. Proverbs 12:1 says, "Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid." This scripture may sound harsh, but it reveals a truth we must embrace: correction is not punishment; it is a pathway to wisdom and maturity.
As a lady of godly value, your ability to submit to divine instructions and accept correction will determine how well you flourish in your purpose and relationships. Ministry demands teachability, and relationships require humility. A heart that resists correction often becomes proud and unyielding, which can poison a home or derail a calling. Proverbs 9:9 encourages us: "Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a just man, and he will increase in learning." This principle applies to every area of life, including preparing yourself as a future wife and partner in destiny.
Correction is not a sign of rejection; it is evidence of God’s love and His desire to see you better. Hebrews 12:6 says, "For whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives." When God places mentors, spiritual leaders, or even a future husband in your life to correct you, it is not to oppress you but to help you grow. A teachable spirit will save you from unnecessary heartbreak and wasted years. Many ladies pray for a godly man or a thriving ministry but forget that such blessings are sustained by discipline and humility.
If you recognize resistance to correction in your heart, repent and adjust today. Ask the Holy Spirit to soften your heart and make you teachable. Proverbs 3:11-12 says, "My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor detest His correction; for whom the Lord loves He corrects, just as a father the son in whom he delights." Your willingness to learn, be guided, and receive correction will set you apart as a lady of value in this generation. Choose humility over pride, wisdom over stubbornness, and growth over comfort. This is how you prepare for a fruitful life, effective ministry, and a beautiful marriage.
