TITTLE: LEARNING AND AUTHORITY
BIBLE SCRIPTURE: Mathew 10; 1-8
PREACHER: APOSTLE M.M SEKHOBE
PLACE; LEDUMADUMANE CHURCH
Sermon:
Learning takes place in different forms, it can be by:
# Observation
# Word of mouth 🗣
# Experiments
# Reading or study 📖
# asking questions etc
Learning does not just happens, it is a thirst for knowledge and skill. You thirst for it. Same is true with teaching because it is by : * demonstration
*spoken instructions/words * Giving task * Presentation etc
For Learning to take place, it begins first with : interest
# visualization ( thoughts/ mind programming)
# Zeal for it
# Research
# Test and experiments
# Mastering
There are 3 things disciples did not do But Jesus did
Jesus
> healed the sick
> drive out impure spirits
> raised the dead
Disciples did not performed them because they had no skills, there were still Learning and had no authority to do so.
In our daily life, everything we do is by authority. We need authority to access certain dimensions of our life. Same is true with spirituality. For certain things to happen in our life is because some how we have given them access of authority knownly or unknowingly. I PRAY 🙏 that every evil spirit that you have given authority by any means be nullified in Jesus name Amen.
AUTHORITY GIVEN WITHOUT TEACHING AND DEMONSTRATION IS A LADDER 🪜 SUSPENDED ON AIR. it is impossible to climb through it. The twelve disciples where given authority according to verse 1 because they have reached a level of practice which is also part of learning the skills and the process of the ministry of Jesus christ.
Authority gives you :
* Power
* Mold your confidence
* Attracts attention etc
So, AUTHORITY GIVEN WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS LEAD TO DISTRACTION. Twelve Apostles were further given instructions according to verse 5-14.
To effectively perform to satisfactory and excellent in our work ,instructions and guidelines has to be given out. As we continue down the chapter Jesus christ gave them a light of what they will meet on their journey ( orientation) . The disciples were now deployed to carry what the master has been demonstrating throughout there learning process.
May your Personal character agree to your atmosphere of learning
May God help you to effectively perform accordingly and to the given instructions and standards
May God opens doors of authority and favor you
May God guide your heart and your thoughts so that it can be overloaded only with kingdom related matters In Jesus name I pray Amen. 🙏 🙏
Be blessed , hope to see you on Sunday 😊
