Scriptural Text:
Proverbs 13:18 (NKJV).
“Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. ”
Just like our opening text puts it bluntly; a person who continually refuses instruction and reproof will end up in poverty and shame. This may sound harsh, but it is the truth. So, what is it about heeding instruction that makes it so sensitive?
The Bible says that the man who heeds instruction is in the way of life (Prov. 10:17). In other words when you receive instructions and heed them, you will be guided and preserved in your goings, and will not stumble or fall.
God has placed people around you who He has given the authority to instruct you. This could be your parents, teacher, mentor, or pastor. They are to give you instructions and corrections as they guide you toward success.
Many times, also, the Spirit of God uses situations and happenings around you to instruct you. Such instructions can be perceived as you observe things and people around you (Prov. 24:32).
For instance, the failure of another person can instruct you, if you pay attention and think deeply about the occurrence. Whereas, if you are careless about observing and learning from such occurrences, you may be setting up yourself to repeat the mistake of others.
Therefore, be in readiness to receive and heed instructions from the Spirit of God as you study the Word, observe happenings around you, and walk in submission to those that God has placed over you. This is an important key to your preservation and honour.

God has given us instructors to guide us in the path of life. They can be our parents, mentors or pastors. When we heed to their instructions, we are most likely to succeed in life. God also has given us His Spirit by which we can receive instruction. He teaches us from all that happens around us, like other people’s mistakes so that we can avoid falling into the same mistakes. As I reflect, I also find that it takes a person of humility to heed to instructions. It is for my own good, for my own lifting and for my own preservation that I take heed to instruction. God didn’t give me instructors to make life difficult for me but to preserve me and ensure that I enjoy the best of what He has for me Thank you my Prophet for this wisdom 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Peace Sekoala_ ZA🇿🇦
Wow!!!! God has specifically placed people around me for my guidance and preservation 😇😇
Thank you Lord 🙌🙌🙌🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Father we receive the grace to heed instructions and to align with your will continually in Jesus name.
God places leaders and instructors above you so we can learn from them. They most likely have the experience but how open are we to receive correction or instruction from them? It is better to learn from people’s mistake than to learn from experience, that is why we must heed to all those in authority over our lives. Glory to God.

We must never rule out the role of instructions because they are the very ingredients for our lives. We must regards the authorities set over us and heed the instructions we have been given to run our lives positively.
Lagos, Nigeria
Yes sir refusing instructions and reproof is a spirit of pride and the Bible says the end result is poverty and shame. Just as our prophet says, God has placed people in our lives that services as authority and have been given the right to instruct or reproof and correct us.
The Lord can also use situations and happenings around us to teach us some things, and if we aren’t observant and discerning enough, we will miss the lesson. He can even use people’s experiences to show us how to go about life.
We only have to heed to the instructions of the authorized people and power over us, and yield to the guiding of the spirit of the Lord. Glory to God . Help us Lord to be humble and obedient to instructions and reproof in the name of Jesus🙏
Thank you Lord

This can’t be underestimated because wisdom can be profitable to u when you apply directions and directions can only come through instruction; weather directly or indirectly… Life itself is a product of instruction from God when He started speaking things into creation. Wealth is an asset coded around principles & instruction.
Thank you sir

When you follow directions, wisdom can benefit you, and instructions can only come from direction, whether it comes either directly or indirectly. God gave instructions when He began speaking things into being, and life itself is a result of those instructions. Wealth is a resource that is based on guidelines and instructions.
