*Study scripture:* _1Timothy 5:1-2 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;- The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity._
*CHURCH DISCIPLINE 2*
In church as both a Christian and a minister,one of the greatest wisdoms you must exercise as a child of God is to know how to relate with everyone in Respect and without offence.
Do you have men older than you and almost double your age? You ought to treat them as your fathers. The very way you talk and conduct yourself in the sight of your father at home is how you are supposed to conduct yourself before them.
How do you treat your brothers at home? It is the very way you are supposed to esteem the young brethren at church. If you cannot commit sexual immorality with your brother at home,you cannot do it with a brother in church unless they are your husband.
How do you conduct yourself in the presence of your sisters at home? It is the very way you ought to treat and conduct yourself in the presence of age brackets in church who are ladies in all speech, character and purity.
Esteem the older women in church as your mothers always. Let me have you as a son to them always. The way you relate with people in church is important in both preserving the church and purity among the saints.
Exercise to rebuke and correct those who have gone astray in all humility and wisdom. And always learn never to rebuke an elder in public as a minister. Honour those that have gone ahead of you and Rever them.
*Glory to God!!*
*Further study:*
Galatians 6:1
1Timothy 5:19
*Nugget:*
How you relate with everyone in church is important for you as a minister and a Christian. It is great wisdom you must exercise to know how to talk,react, conduct and respond to everyone in church. It will always save you child of God and your ministry.
*Prayer:*
I worship you Jesus for the wisdom of character that has been given to me. By the grace of God,I exercise not to be an offence to my ministry in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
