@SW-User You will suffer if you do not obey and abide by the principles of God's Will as a Christian. If you're not a Christian, associate with Christianity, or believe in the teachings of the faith, then whether or not you decide to obey God or not...it doesn't affect you. God's law, teachings, principles, and commands don't apply to you especially if you aren't even active in the faith.

@SW-User It's quite similar to someone who believes in the Superstition that if they pass by a black cat, they will have bad luck. The person who has faith in that belief will believe it to be true and that's on them. But if you don't believe in that Superstition, then if you pass by a black cat one day, the belief that you would have bad luck wouldn't faze you not one bit.

@SW-User Correct, however, speaking from the context of your question, no. You asked from a slave master perspective in which slaves don't have a right or choice to disobey or obey their master. In God's perspective, you are free to obey or not obey, that is up to the individual. Adding to that, I don't know what method of punishment you're asking me to approve is right to punish your slave either.
However, if you do choose to follow the teachings of Christ, and adhere to the principles set forth to benefit yourself according to Godly morals and be a faithful representative of God, then absolutely you will be punished for doing the opposite. Being a representative and true follower requires you to be held up to a higher standard according to God and he expects you to abide by His Word, however, as imperfect human beings that we are, it's a challenge to do so perfectly.
So with that being said, when it comes to the context of the question. Yes, God can punish you for wrongdoing. However, you can't, because you do not have the same authority and power as God Himself. However, if you are asking on the basis that you do indeed have a "slave" yourself that you have authority and power over, that is up to your own judgment. I can't tell you what to do with your "slave". As Christians, we have to assess the Scriptures in the Bible and make the necessary decision-making based on what we think is good for the circumstance. God and no one else can make those decisions but you alone.
If you feel that you have the right to beat your slave because you obey God and he punishes you for your wrongdoing and that gives you the justification to do such to your own, by all means, do what you wish. I cannot prove or deny your right or feelings, that is yours to make those judgments for yourself.
