Education in the Kingdom: Part 1

Today’s Focus: Education in the Kingdom pt 1
Scripture: 1 John 2:20-29

Greetings Kingdom Citizens
I pray you are paying close attention to this because if not you can become a ignorant Christian with the power of the Holy Ghost, led by satan. That is a sick picture but many people are there due to lack of knowledge and education of the Kingdom.

When we look at education in the natural world, education of the student is dependent on the teacher teaching the student what the student needs to know. But in the Kingdom, education is based on the student wanting to know from the teacher. So in one case you have education by force in the natural world, but in the Kingdom, education is by choice and based on the student and not the teacher. Now let’s look at the Kingdom and this was a treat when God showed it to me and now I am showing it to you.

The Teacher of the Kingdom (The Holy Spirit)
Let’s establish that God is Holy first. Another meaning for Holy is pure in motive. Now because He is pure in motive he has to be honest to Himself. So God can not pretend that you need something and forcefully give it to you because then He would be lying to Himself. For example, if I said to myself that you needed a glass of water and you really did not, I lied to myself. Because I pretended that you needed something you really did not want. This is deep! So, God will only reveal to you what you want to know, including Himself. For example, if God showed you the answer to life and you really did not want to know then God lied to Himself. And because God does not lie because He is Holy, He must be truthful to Himself.
Follow please. In order to read the Bible and effectively and get understanding from the scriptures, you must allow the author of the Constitution to reveal the mysteries and the understanding of the scriptures to you. So you must seek God first, with a pure heart and then you can ask Him what you desire to know about the scriptures. Because He is Holy and His Word says, seek and you shall find, then He has to reveal it to you. So, learning the scriptures is solely based on the student and not the teacher. Do not let anyone fool you. Let me show you one more thing you may not have known.

Many people may wonder why did Jesus speak in parables to the multitude but only explained it to the disciples? Hmm! Well the parables are stories that are also mysteries which hide the truth about something. Ok! Jesus knew the multitudes would not understand the meaning and truth behind the parables, but for the disciples it was explained because they would need to know the mysteries so that they could carry on the ministry of spreading the good news (gospel) of the Kingdom. Whenever Jesus told a parable, a disciple would always ask, please explain the parable to us. See, if the disciples did not want to know, Jesus would not have told them, but because they seeked Him and asked Him for understanding, He had to explain and reveal it to them. So there are mysteries that He (God) will only reveal to those who are citizens of the Kingdom if they seek Him and want to know them. But remember, because He is Holy, if you do not want to know, He hides it from you. It’s time for you to start seeking God!
