DON'T STOP LEARNING
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. - (Acts 13:36)
READ: Acts 18:24-28
Today's Bible reading tells us the story of Apollos, a knowledgeable fellow who lived in Ephesus. He was described as an eloquent man who was mighty in the Scriptures. If he had lived in the present age, he might have been called a bishop, apostle, or reverend. Apollos was well-grounded in the Scriptures and was bold enough to teach people in the synagogue. However, when Aquila and Priscila got to Ephesus, they noticed some gaps in the things he knew, and they took him aside to teach him the word of God more perfectly. Apollos was not proud, nor did he disregard the things they were teaching him. Instead, he listened to them and added what they taught him to the things he already knew. Consequently, the man who started as one who was mighty in the Scriptures ended as someone who was able to mightily convince the Jews that Jesus is the Christ through the Scriptures.
Apollos was teachable and humble enough to learn from others. Beloved, are you teachable? Are you humble enough to learn from people who might not be as popular, prayerful, or educated as you are?
One of the greatest tragedies a person can experience is to stop learning. Proverbs 1:5 says, "A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:" Your thirst for knowledge determines your level of growth. You must never get to a point where you think you are too knowledgeable to learn more. When the widow in (2 Kings 4:1-8) began to pour the remaining oil from her pot into the vessels she had borrowed, it continued to flow until there were no more empty vessels. I believe that the oil would have continued to flow if she had more empty vessels to pour it into. This is a clear example of what will happen to anyone who thinks he or she is full of knowledge; such a person will stop growing.
Beloved, there is always something more to learn. No matter how knowledgeable you think you are in the things of God, there will always be more of Him to unravel. (2 Peter 3:18 says, "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ..." Don't allow what you know to stop you from learning what you need to know. I pray that the Lord will keep revealing more of Himself to you, even as you keep seeking to know more and more of Him.
REFLECTION:
Are you humble and teachable?

FOCUS ON THE UNSEEN
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. - (2 Corinthians 4:18)
READ: Hebrews 11:1-3
Today's Bible reading makes us understand that everything on earth was framed by God's word. This means that the things which you can see were made from things that are unseen. This is why God wants His children to focus more on spiritual things than physical things. In today's memory verse, Paul encourages us to fix our eyes on things which are not seen. Therefore, if you are going through a challenge, for example, instead of focusing only on what you can see physically, ask God to show you what is behind the challenge you are facing. Go to Him in prayers, and, like Rebekah did, ask Him, "If it be so, why am I thus?" (Genesis 25:22).
Whenever there is a challenge, many people waste their time focusing only on what they can see physically. However, if they go to God in prayers and ask that their eyes be opened to see the unseen, He will answer them and also guide them towards the right solution.
In Luke 15:11-32, Jesus told the parable of the prodigal son who wasted his inheritance by living irresponsibly in a faraway country. Before long, he began to be in want and struggled to make ends meet. Things got so bad that he thought of eating food that was meant for pigs because he had nothing to eat. When he came to the end of himself, however, he decided to return to his father, and all his problems disappeared instantly. He would have continued struggling and running in circles if he had not changed his focus by returning to his father.
Beloved, if you keep facing the same challenge or struggling with an issue, you might need a change of focus. You need to fix your gaze on your heavenly Father by calling on Him in prayer. It doesn't take God ages to answer prayers, but when your focus is in the wrong direction, you will not be able to see the provisions He has made for you to overcome whatever challenge you are facing. All God wants you to do is to fix your gaze on Him so He can show you the path to your victory and release His blessings upon you. I pray that the Almighty God will help you to keep your gaze fixed on Him at all times, so you will be empowered to walk in total victory perpetually.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please help me to always fix my gaze on You so that I can walk in perpetual victory.
