 Hey, good morning everyone welcome to a new week. Hope you all are doing well. I Hope my voice is audible enough. Yeah. Okay. All right. Let's just begin this time with a word of prayer Maybe one of us can please leave in prayer Silly yeah, go ahead Hallelujah father come before a presence in the name of Jesus father We thank you so much for this brand-new the Lord as we begin our session to the Lord Holy Spirit you guide us bless a pastor with your wisdom your inside your revelation so that Lord Jesus He will be able to teach the world according to your will and bless each one of us Lord help us so that we can understand Lord The word which has been taught by a pastor Lord God Bless each one of us and also we pray for good network connection so that there will be no hindrances in our Class Lord we thank you. We bless you. We honor you Lord in Jesus Mike. You know, we pray amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you, silly Thank you. All right, so We've been talking about the ministry of the teacher. We started off with chapter six where we saw Jesus as our example As a teacher we looked at how he ministered To the people that he met with that he the thousands of people that came to hear him He also taught them before he could do those science miracles and wonders and then chapter seven We saw the teacher in the early church how the ministry of the teacher even after Jesus's resurrection When we look at the book of Acts and then how teachers were raised up in Jerusalem Antioch Samaria going on to different parts of even Asia Minor the Apostle Paul did a lot of You know this this teaching and raising up of leaders And I'm sure everywhere that he went in his missionary journey. He was able to raise up teachers and You know so that the word of God would be taught to people And then we went to chapter eight. We saw the restoration of the ministry of the teacher so after the book of Acts there was a Season called the Dark Ages And when you look at history, there was absolutely no kind of teaching no preaching also There was no ministry of the gifts of the spirit Everything had just come down to Very religious systems set in place and But after that the Lord, you know used many people many great men and women of God who You know came and began to teach the word of God the importance of God's word to be You know interpreted in the right way schools of Bible colleges Seminaries were started during the early let's say 1900s You know these seminaries and Bible colleges, which even continue now as well. So So today we look at chapter nine And chapter nine is practical keys to doing the ministry Of the teachers. So yesterday we also sorry not yesterday, but last week we talked we also discussed on You know all of us had a lot of questions and we discussed on how uh, you know how we can be effective teachers and You know some of the challenges that we may face like teaching is Uh, I would say teaching is a little more difficult than preaching this teaching involves a lot of Lots and lots of preparation it involves digging deep and research and all of these things. So Uh, so we looked at some of the challenges as well. So we'll move to chapter nine What are the practical keys to doing the ministry of the teacher? right now all of us We have established the fact that Teaching is for all of us right it is not Yeah, we talked about that in chapter one right the ministry function and the ministry gift right so we all will get an opportunity Right to present the gospel and it could be even a three minute or a four minute You know just to just to you know, probably explain a verse Right Just explaining a simple verse Uh, you're doing the ministry of a teacher Right now when I say when we say teacher, it's it's not like you'll only You know have the setting of okay hundred people sitting in a classroom. You're standing there if that happens, that's good But even if it's in a smaller setting Uh, each one of us can do the ministry of a teacher. Well, here's the first point develop a passion for knowledge All right, let's read that was Matthew 13 and 52 Matthew chapter 13 verse 52. Yes, any one of us can please read Matthew 15 and sorry Matthew 13 and verse 52 Matthew 13 52 Then he said to them therefore every scrap instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder Who brings out of his treasure things new and old Yeah, thank you so much Ellie So it is it is some you know, it says there who brings out the treasures both new and old right now Without a passion for knowledge right It's very difficult for us to be effective teachers All right. No, I like that word passion right passion is something that You know, we have in instilled already in us A passion could also be developed right now It says here develop a passion for knowledge So if you're already passionate about knowledge, you're one step ahead Right. Now, how do I develop a passion for knowledge? How do I? You know If I want to be a teacher, what should I do to develop knowledge to get knowledge? Right. It's obvious right. We need to be Researchers good readers Right. We we mean to be interested in reading material things that are happening right now It involves a lot of dedication a lot of time a lot of preparation right so for example if I'm If I'm teaching about, you know example, right uh Take a topic that is little, you know involves a lot of research so End time just ketology Right. So for example, I'm teaching that now if I don't have a passion To you know to bring out the study of end times what will happen is I can just follow notes and deliver the You know the teaching and you know Just go on with whatever is there But that's not the point of a teacher. We must develop A passion for knowledge. So what should we do? Okay, go back Read history Right. Go back and see what from the scriptures. What does God say? Okay, these are churches right God is talking the Lord Jesus is talking to these churches then he's talking about all these different things So how can I relate to it? So maybe I can go to commentaries go to you know Different bible study That is available online, right and and read about it, right? What do these writers say look up theologians? What is their understanding? about this whole thing and you know, there are different kinds of You know Beliefs right now, right some believe in pre tribulation post tribulation mid tribulation What about the rapture? So we gotta You know the the bible is our standard, but we must be able to dig in deeper Right and if I'm if I'm doing something like you know, if I'm studying eschatology or I'm gonna teach it I will definitely look up geography Right. I will definitely look up World events that have happened over the last 10 years and what are the world events that make? Uh, you know, maybe for the next 10 years, I will definitely look into that It's something very interesting. I know I'm going off Our course here, but this is something very interesting. I was reading about um, israel as a nation and What their plans to do and it was really really interesting to see that israel is in talks with No, the the leaders of the muslim faith to buy the land Where the the dome is right and we know that's that's so important because you know There's come a time when the muslims are willing to sell that plot now for those who want to context that that plot is david's lab david's plot and That land and apparently mohammad had a vision in that place and they built a mosque or a dome like Structure the muslims have built that and and so The jews are willing to pay how much ever it is required because for them. It's a holy land It's it's something that belongs to their ancestors king david so right now They are in talks to buy it And if they buy it tell me what is going to happen like Everything becomes so In you know close and you're able to relate these things. This is a world event But if I don't know why is it important in the scriptures? I will not be able to effectively communicate that But we know that the temple is going to be rebuilt there the lord jesus when he comes Uh after the battle of marmageddon, he'll come he'll sit in that temple He will reign for a thousand years. So so what am I trying to bring out? If I don't know What's happening in these world events or things that have happened I may not be able to interpret scriptures and teach the scriptures in the right way All right, I can teach it, but It may not be as effective as it should be Look at the old testament Right if you do a study of the old testament and it's it's wonderful to see the prophets And why god sent those prophets? Why is he sending a set of prophets to not To the north of israel some of them to the south Why did he send people from the south to go to north? We look at the history of the difference between the people in the north of israel and the south of israel. It's beautiful. It's it's it's so wonderfully portrayed in the old testament But if we have a mind saying oh old testament, there's so much supporting We're not going to be able to effectively teach it, right? look at history look at what The the nation of israel what what does it stand for or or the the people? What do they do? right the cultures the background right And and why is it so important? You know even I was reading about I forget that the the sycamore tree it had so much of You know There's so much of value to that tree all through the old testament Right, so what's it about the tree the sycamore tree? Why is god why is god so fascinated about that tree? You know you when you do these researchers We can either look at it and you know just look at it read it and walk past it Or we can develop a passion and say I want to know more about this. I want to go deeper. I want to learn more Right, so it's a choice that you and I can make Now we have a 15 minute session, right? We can present We can just say okay. This is what it is as a teacher, but it's Our responsibility to go back to the word and begin to read it Begin to really do research and you know now It's such a wonderful time that we are living in where you know You just in the tap of a button you get all information whatever information you want you get it on google right you you've got You know hundreds of commentaries and resources that are available books that are available So develop this passion to read Let uh, one of the things I do is I make it a point that I read at least two books in two weeks Right, so now it's not like a target, but I like to read right now I'm reading the book fine fulfill and follow by andrew wammack and it's a wonderful book Right sometimes when we read no, we we may not even understand and we'll think hey I knew it all this while But I didn't think of it this way No, let me give you this example In the book fine fulfill and follow andrew wammack's There's a passage there talking about how do we find our calling and how god finds us through these seasons And he's talking about moses right and You see he's so beautifully writes this right i'm sure you know what i'm sure you know I knew it, but I never thought of it this way but Every time there were there was a world leaders great leaders coming into this world The enemy tried to kill them Moses Right uh You know the pharaoh says kill every first born somehow, you know Moses mother we know the story right put him in the basket sent him away And god protected him and he was raised up in the palace and to jesus Kill every male child Right so every time there was two prominent powerful leaders coming into This world the enemy tried his best To stop that When I read it, I said Hey, it sounds so simple right uh You may think hey, how come you didn't think of that, but I didn't But but if I think of it, yeah Right and so there's so much that you know, we can you know learn And and I and develop things And when we do this, you know, it's just going to empower us. It's going to right. We're not doing god a favor Right by developing a passion for knowledge. It's We are getting closer to him Right A teacher has a passion for knowledge of spiritual matters He's hungry to know the why the where the what and the how Why where what and how? Right. He's hungry to know that Why did Have you ever thought of this? Why did God tell Abraham, you know the people of israela going to go into Uh, you know 400 years of bondage Right. What was it? Why why did and what were they doing in bondage? What were they doing in egypt? right And and when you think of it, why were they there? And how did they end up, you know living their life in those 400 years now? What was the outcome of this? Why did you see the moment moses had? You know killed the egyptian and he ran away Uh, what was you know everything changed the dynamics changed? And i'm just giving the example of moses, but there's so much, right? um And you look at uh, look at even uh, the new testament Look at the book of uh acts and you read it. It's so powerful Right. It's so wonderful or look at the life in the ministry of jesus Right. Why did why did god make jesus wait for 30 years? Right 20 start off when he was in those early 20s And then you ask these questions to yourself You try to understand And and and and that's where you you know, you're hungry for god and all of this Now we must be very careful all of this learning must Take us closer to god because there are many times these too much of learning will Cause us to ask too many questions You remember that some questions are best left for god to answer But somebody came up to me and said Jesus said we're preparing the mansions In heaven has he started preparing now that i don't know Right. I i can't say he's already started preparing or he's not started that i don't know But he says don't you know that There will be mansions for you up in heaven So it's going to be the how and when he's going to start now that i don't know But there are certain things that we have That we can study that we can really dig deep And you know I was fascinated by this whole thing of you know, how jesus Uh, I learned this maybe a couple of years ago, but it's fascinating about you know, I read it my I'm so excited Now the whole thing of how why jesus Rows up from when he rose up from the dead. Why did he you know cover the Fold the cloth and keep it there And you know, it's so amazing to see that everything the lord god does the lord jesus and how god Does things there's a reason for it Right and so our knowledge is just a drop in the ocean We can continue to acquire more and more of it But Here's a very very important point, you know as teachers and and Uh, you know students of the word of god, we go on we study study study and there'll come a time when we are very Affluent with the things of the word of god, right? We just know where our scriptures where are what does it mean what they're saying Maintain a humble heart Because if we should not Let all of that knowledge go up to pride Right. I always say this to myself personally. I say pride goes before the fall So the more I study learn the more I should humble myself the more I should say god Whatever i'm learning let it be useful for my life. Let it be useful for the people that we are ministering to Maintain a humble heart. There's no point of learning all of this and then we walk in pride We it's of no use Let's read first corinthians chapter eight was one and two first corinthians chapter eight one and two First corinthians chapter eight was one and two Now about food sacrifice to idols We know that we all possess knowledge knowledge pops up But love builds up the man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he out to know Thank you. Thank you. Jafina. So Knowledge puffs up now. Let me bring a context of what paul is saying here, right? The church and corinth have Intellectuals in the church, right? And there's a problem here now. What is the problem? There are people believers who are having food sacrifice to idols and this is affecting the new believers who are coming into christ Right and what is happening is the people are saying no, that's okay. It doesn't matter Right so paul is saying Knowledge puffs up but love edifies now The reason you are doing this is because you know if you that an idol is nothing and the food And and god is greater than all of it and you are grown up to that place a place of maturity You know it your knowledge has you have the knowledge of it, right? You know who your god is yet this knowledge has puffed you up in such a way that it's okay to see a fellow believer fall Because of this matter and if you go later on In verse 10, I think he talks about how our food does not bring us close to god Not does it bring us take us away from god, right? And so he's trying to tell them you you all Have knowledge of it, but you're not maintaining a humble heart So paul goes on and he says if if my brother or my sister in christ Is if it's making him or her Ask questions or to deny the faith. I would rather not eat it Right so so this is a huge topic But but what's he trying to say don't let your knowledge bring people to a place of Doubt and fear or to a place of you know feeling insecure That's what's happened here Because remember the they are all most of them were there was a goddess named aphrodite and caught and and they were Worshiping that idol now they suddenly they accept the lord jesus and maybe somebody has shared the gospel. They come into the church So they don't know anything And if they see somebody hate this leader of the church that's eating food sacrifice to the idols, which you know probably We've done in our temple there in aphrodite It's affecting them It's affecting their walk with god and these Leaders are saying it's all right. No problem. Uh, you know god is bigger than all of it and they're puffed up So he goes on and he says knowledge puffs up, but love edifies if you really Really had love for that person that believer you would have Stop what you're doing just so that this person can you know continue to walk with christ So maintaining a humble heart is the key of Of you know being doing the ministry of a teacher The more we read it is obvious the more we will grow Right, it's not like we're going to read and stay on the same level All of us right when you joined here on your first year first semester. It is obvious That you have grown in maturity. You have learned over these You know one and a half or two years you have learned right? You're not on the same level yet You know, it should be a place where We are humble. We are saying god Help me to maintain this humble heart Even as I learn even as I go into third year even as even if I plan to do my higher studies Learn more about the hebrew the greek and all of those things. It's wonderful. Nothing wrong about gaining knowledge But it's important that knowledge and humility are summed up together Right and and we could see that in jesus, right There were times he was very intellectual There were times he said he didn't have to prove his intellectual his wisdom. He didn't have to prove it. He just Just worked miracles or he just blessed people And uh, that's the key here, right? Uh maintain a humble heart pursue knowledge maintain a humble heart walk in love right, so Let's look at a few points here developer wide range of topics Right Now there are plenty of topics we can study on, you know Something that you know, I'm just going to share some of the things that I love to read is You know and and continue to learn it's like hermeneutics. I love to Understand scripture and bring it You know to interpret it the right way because the moment I interpreted the wrong way I may put across a wrong message. So how many things something that I really love word study In a character study passage study. So what I do is Now this is just an example, right? You don't have to do this Uh, but these are things that I've done and I continue to do so in my bible So I've taken up Letters, right? So the letter of romans or the roman's first second quarentian. So all of paul's epistles I've done a word study right and I continue to do that every now and then so I I mark with different colors right, so the word grace is probably in my bible. It's yellow and There's there's love which is green and there's righteousness which is red Right and so when you look at my bible, it's all you know, I know I've done a word study. So I know, okay Uh, so I know in the book of romans, you will find more of the red Because righteousness is there all throughout the scriptures All throughout the letter of rom rom romans, right? So So you can do word studies, right? You can do character studies character studies take up a character research study Look at their paul look at the things that they've done Look at what how where they've been successful where they have failed Right and and apply it in your own life, right? Look at examples like joseph Right, uh, what happened to him, right? And and learn from their lives that he he was a wonderful boy, but he didn't have to you know Continue to keep going and telling his brother. See this is what this is what happened But he was a kid. He didn't he was just you know wanting to go to the brother. So what are the things that We learn right even though he was sold off. He there was no bitterness in him And we see the end he grew to such a maturity. He forgave them God elevated him look at david Like at a young age. He knew it yet. He was running for his life became the king. What happened? He sinned Um, and then he he lost his son and so all these things right we can we can study about them the apostle paul The lord jesus himself So doing character studies Then you got passage studies Right, uh, you can talk about passages in the scriptures Uh, I remember when I was in uh, bubble call is I did this whole passage study And we had to you know come in front and Share what we have learned and it was wonderful. I remember doing the whole thing of uh, you know, um Elijah and uh at at mount car Mel what happened right against those? uh 800 prophets of aserot and doing a whole study and so I studied about aserot. What are they what what is the Uh, you know, what what is their belief system? I think it was 400 aserot and 400 of bal And so So what are they? What do they believe and what is their god? Uh, why was elijah so upset? What made him to come up with this whole? You know challenge up on that mountain and uh, you know, so it is wonderful. So you do those passage studies You apply it in your own life I then Some of the things I enjoy right now is to I'm starting on on dreams and interpretation of dreams I really enjoy that visions dreams And how god can speak to us through these visions and dreams How even through the book of revelations god speaks through allegories Old testament as well new testament is where he speaks through allegories, right? You shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water It's an allegory, right? And so Just if I get a dream, how can I go back? How can I interpret the scripture in the right way? And there's a lot of material right online you can listen to sermons listen to podcasts Lots and lots of materials that's available online. So develop a wide range of topics right There may be some topics that you may be really interested in So you can spend more time and you feel your call for that So for example, if you feel your call to be a worship leader, you can spend more time studying about praise and worship and How god instituted it? What are the ways of if you feel your calling is um No pastors, you know, sorry about that as well So there are certain things that will really draw us close but uh, we must take that step to develop An interest to learn things that we may not really be interested in Right, uh, so I can't say I'm not interested in dreams and visions or I'm not interested in the prophetic So I'll just hold no We must develop that interest right learn about it See watch people ask questions right And you know, I remember growing up Once I became a believer I used to ask a lot of questions Some of them are very silly. I even ask a lot of questions now Uh, but some of them are very silly questions, but I want to understand it Right, it's all right to ask questions. It's all right to you know, even if it's something very simple It's all right just to get a good understanding of what your uh, what your understanding is right? So Next point question inquire investigate and search Right investigate search go online And uh, you know, I remember when I used to study the word I used to Have these you know Two three bibles and then I had to go from here to there to there And then check. Okay. What does this mean? And And uh, it was hard, right? It was hard But I enjoyed doing it. But now of course I I do have those bibles I do look up look it up every now and then but I just see what's easier Just go google save commentaries put the worst down And there are plenty of commentaries available. Just see what what it means different views that people have uh interpreted the right way and Right, uh, inquire investigate search research Learn unlearn So all of this is included now Keep it simple develop the ability To make the complex simple. Now. This is a very important task of a teacher My keeping it simple right You know, for example apologetics or the series that we're doing faith and science now Right. There's there's a lot of material involved, right? There's a lot of science Yet we must make it in a way we and I feel it is you know It's a way where we are able to make those complex things simple Right and we must be able to do that in everything that we study Like there are some things which will be complex but try to break it down And so I remember uh, you know leviticus. I didn't want to read it for many years. I didn't want to read it Right, uh It just for me it was too much right But I realized I have to read it. I have to study it so that I can you know, teach it and uh Old testament survey is something I've been teaching for quite some time and I wanted to learn it right, so We must develop that ability to make it simple As much as possible But while we are making it simple, we must Be sure that we don't divert from the truth just so that we make people understand The truth is the truth Right. We must not You know, who is the gospel we must not you know, uh, give half the gospel or half the message that we're trying to say Give it in a way that is simple and easily understood Right. Now this comes over time right, uh, as we keep teaching as we keep learning Uh, it'll come over time right Keep revelation fresh And stay fresh in the word Right. This is very very important keeping revelation fresh right, uh sometimes we may Especially when we're reading the word and we're reading it with the mindset that I already know this Uh, very unlikely that we may receive a revelation out of it Right, but keep it fresh Right keep keep reminding yourself of the previous revelations that you had in god's word and the Previous ways that god ministered to you and then continue to pursue for newer and fresher revelations of god Right, uh We must do that. We must do that And we Establish the fact that as a teacher we must be reading the word of god Right, we can't say uh, right. I read one chapter today Uh, so I've done my part uh Maybe if you're very busy and you got to go to work. That's all right, but uh, but if you feel you Want to be a teacher you really want to get into god's word. You want revelations. We must spend time in god's presence We must Right in the sense that we must be willing to go dig deeper study deeper right picture this right I remember this was acts one eight Now you will receive power to be a witness I read it or you think thousands of times But all of a sudden one day I was just reading and I read the same verse in a commentary And the commentary said The greek word for witness is matter And I'm sure I've used this before but these are things that will stick to me Till the end of my life Because it's a revelation. It's it's it's there in the spirit. It's not up here only it's in the spirit Right, I read that and I said so god Has poured out his spirit upon us that we may be You will receive power to be a martyr for jesus christ. That's what the word really means The word witness greek is matter So that means god will pour out his spirit on us That even if it comes to a place of being martyred for christ We will be willing to go through it because of the power of the holy spirit Now that verse acts one eight is so different to what we read it here And so you can translate the same thing witness everywhere there's witness jesus said no you'll be my witness. It's all matter The greek of course in some places. We also meant to to you know to witnesses to to to show Jesus to people Or to be ministers of the gospel But the greek there in my acts one eight means martyr And so there are plenty of things the same way right we we get revelations and you got to keep it fresh stay fresh in the word of god right I've been reading about Jeremiah and and how this God uses this insignificant man who says I can't speak I can't I'm a weak person But if you look at once his ministry started There are potions. I think it's I forget the chapters, but There are potions where he's he's rebuking the israelites and he's He's telling them See you people are worshiping idols And he's giving this whole list of how those idols are made the same man who was fearful Right who said don't call me don't choose me. I don't want to do what you want What you're saying, you know, you go into the forest you cut a tree you take the wood you make a shape out of the wood Then you put a you know You decorate that shape and then you put all kinds of ornaments on it Then you put it on your shoulders and it needs to be carried around you can't when carried by yourself It can't when talk it has eyes. It can't see it has years It can't hear it has a mouth. It can't speak and your people are bound on before this It's defiling you're defiling what god has done and he's rebuking them And they and and it's really stern message But through all of that he comes to Jeremiah 26 27 28 he's saying, okay Even though you're like this god has a plan for you God will restore you all That's why Jeremiah 29 11 comes I have plans for you plans to prosper you to give you good hope and a good future But you're right now in bondage. You're staying and you're you're in you're You're in captive right now Under the Babylonian rule, but there will come a time if you turn away from your You're the things that you're doing that are detestable and gods as you turn away from it. I have plans for you Right now we can't take I have plans to prosper you give you a good hope and a good future just like that You never see the context like I can't keep living a sinful life and say god you said you have plans for me to prosper me Yes, that's his plan, but he's also saying look at context of Jeremiah He's telling the people the useful lights you first turn away and you see the plans god has for you Right, so there's so much that we can study and learn keep Revelation fresh keep keep staying in the word of god Practice before you teach now. I'm guilty of not doing this at times right But it's a good habit initially I used to practice a lot like personally I used to practice There are times, you know, even when we are doing sessions for now You know, not only in bible callers, but in different places I practice and whether it's recording for anything or whether it's for the students and colleges practice Now practice, what does it help us? You know when it comes to practice and most I would say it involves two things right one is Being materially Prepared right So you have your material you have your points you have your examples you have your you know Bible verses you have everything Right, you prepare it right you prepare in the right way And you have it probably have a ppt or you have the notes available you yourself You either have a physical note or you have a You know a device a laptop or a phone and then You practice how are you going to hold it? How are you going to stand? How are you going to just how are you going to start off by teaching? and I think You know last time we were talking You know in a couple of meetings we had we said the first 10 seconds in delivering a A message is very important Like the first 10 seconds It's important. So how are you going to start off? How are you going to? Now it's not always the first 10 seconds But you get the you you know you grip the audience that you're speaking to in those first 10 15 seconds I'm sure all of us open YouTube and you get those ads You wait for this skip this is just sometimes So same thing this 10 15 seconds the initial first 10 15 seconds very important So you you practice how you're going to start off how you're going to You know begin the teaching are you going to begin it with a story begin? How how do you plan with the worse or you're going to explain something that happened? And then how are you going to summarize the whole thing? I'm sure you've learned all of this in homiletics as well Uh, you know, how are you going to end it? What what is the context you're going to end on how you're going to help the listeners to apply? Uh what they have heard Right, uh, so you can practice a thing wrong in practicing right, I got plenty of Uh sermons that you know That that I have I keep practicing it I mean the series that's going right now whenever I get the opportunity to share Uh, I practice it Right because I know it's not an easy sermon. I have to practice it Uh, and same goes with teaching preaching everything right And lastly be teachable Devil a good teacher is always teachable Right, uh A good teacher is always In a place of being teachable right, so Never must a teacher say, okay, I know all this so it's all right now Good teacher is teachable Right, so so it's important to come to a place where we can You know continue to receive from our leaders from our pastors from people that we know Right, it could be somebody who is You know just a believer in christ, you know, just serving in the church and they may want to share something with you Uh, it is very important that we don't look down on them and say, hey, you know what I'm teaching for five or 10 years and Uh, and I've been doing this and this and this this is what I know Uh, that would be the wrong stance to take if somebody is sharing something we may know it It's all right to share it from them It's all right And then if you feel you can add your inputs or or even if it's the same thing And you already know it god can speak to you in a different way My god can speak to you in a different way that same thing that you already know Right, so be teachable people may say, you know after Preaching or teaching people may come up to you and say, uh, you know, I feel this is what what you said is not Right, it's not making sense Or this is what I feel about it. It's okay. Right be teachable. You you tell them. Hey, why don't we discuss about it? Right, the wrong stance to take is you're telling me Right, you're telling me, you know how many hours I spent Studying this that's the wrong stance to take Right, so being teachable again is Requires a humble heart requires, you know a heart of just saying god I want to learn more and god can use anyone To speak and minister to us Right, so with this we complete the ministry of the evangelist And the ministry of the teacher, right? So let's take a break and We'll take a 10 minutes break. We'll come back at 10 o'clock And we'll just spend some time Just discussing some more like let's take a break and come back any questions Probably we can come back and take questions if you have questions you can also put it on the chat And then we can discuss about it next class, right?
