READ : 2 Peter 1:1-4
“…the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie…” – 1 John 2:27
Most of us have never asked the Holy Spirit to teach us personally. I constantly pray for God to give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of His Word. I cannot depend solely on sermons I hear. You only retain eleven per cent of what you hear once.
If you want to be led into a permanent blessing in this life then you need the Holy Spirit as a teacher. If you want to go far with God and walk into everything that pertains to this life and godliness, then you need the Holy Spirit to be demonstrated as a teacher in your life.
Even in the secular world, it is through knowledge that you move into higher positions. Those who are educated rule those who are not educated. The people who know how to make things like aeroplanes, ships and cars, rule the rest of the world. It is a fact of life. At different workplaces, those with a higher education earn much more than those with a lower education. What separates the two? What is the dividing line? It is knowledge. Knowledge sets you apart in this life. The greatest victories that you will ever have will come through knowledge.
It is exactly the same with spiritual things. Knowledge puts you in another category. When you know certain things, you will begin to move ahead in life and in ministry.
Don’t cut yourself off from the teacher. He will be made visible when you apply yourself to the knowledge of God.
