The servant should consistently deliver the message of repentance.

 

 

When a brother who is suffering from God's disciplinary love

due to unrepented sins comes to the Lord’s servant again to hear God’s word,

the servant should consistently deliver the message of repentance

rather than saying something like,

‘God will rescue you from this suffering.’

Additionally, when the brother asks for prayer,

it is more important for the servant to first pray,

‘Forgive our sins,’ before asking God to deliver him from his suffering.

This is because repentance and forgiveness of sins

must come first in order to be rescued from suffering

(Ref.: Jeremiah 37:17).
