RABBI

We call him Rabbi, which means teacher. Do you ever wonder what God can teach you? The bible passage below shows the unlimited teaching ability of the Holy Spirit.

But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being. I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned to Damascus.

Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days.  I saw none of the other apostles—only James, the Lord’s brother.  I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie.

Then I went to Syria and Cilicia. I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.  They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”  And they praised God because of me. Galatians 1: 15-24

Let us not forget that he had no “blue print” to follow, no formal or informal training on the Gospel he has to preach, but fourteen (14) books of the New Testaments were written by Apostle Paul. This is not a mean feat for a man who did not follow Jesus for 3-4 years, he did not sit with any of the apostles; he was personally unknown to the churches of Judea, STILL they heard the report of his works and teachings and they praised God because of him. This can only be achieved through the Holy Spirit that is working in Apostle Paul.

After Pentecost, the Holy Spirit turned the fearful disciples into fearless preachers. In this century also, the Holy Spirit turned Pastor Adeboye (a mathematician) into a town planner who built a whole town in addition to winning souls!!!

This should tell you that when God sends you, he gives you ALL that you need to excel. So, what is it that God has placed in your heart to do and you think that you don’t have the required skill?

Don’t forget what Jesus himself said:

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things John 14:26

 

GO IN THIS THY MIGHT. SHALOM!!!
