Stay Under Training (2)

John 6
66 "From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.
67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, Do you also want to go away?"

One of the excuses people give for not staying under spiritual training is: "MY PASTOR/MENTOR IS TOO HARSH"
Jesus was not "all- soft" with the Disciples!. Many times, he rebuked and upraided them ( Matt. 16:23; 17:17; Mark 4:40; 16:14).
Neither was Paul lenient with the people he discipled (Gal.3:1,3; ICor.4:21; IICor.7:8).
There's trace of stubbornness in d mind of every man, xtian & non-xtian alike, & that is why the hands that will train well must be firm.
The so-called harshness in most cases if not all, is part of the tool God uses in preparing His saints - for there's no easy way to build character (Rom.5:3-4 NKJV).
If the only reason you want to 'leave' is because the man is strict, then you will be leaving 'half-baked' & unfit to lead people and to fulfill your ministry according to the will of God.
Wait till God's appointed time & you will be better for it.
STAY there & learn! ok?
