How was your day?

I have come to believe and understand that there is no big person and small person for someone who wants to learn.

I was in church one day when this came to my mind, "Different Apostle." Then I later came to the understanding that it's quite possible. Let me use, for example, a Bible study that is going on, and all you are doing is trying to teach the person who is teaching in your mind. It should be like this, it should be like that.

So in a church of 100, we might have 10 apostles, 30 prophets, 30 pastors, and 20 teachers, and we likely have just 10 members. Those who came to church to learn, while others came to give out and not to learn.

Here is not the point of contention, but the fact that it's possible to see yourself as big and see another as small. The problem is, are you even big?

The ability to learn from anyone is a mindset, which is important. The ability to place yourself as a student in all situations is important because, in reality, you can learn from anyone.

Learning is fun when you know the purpose of what you're trying to grasp but then you need to be certain as in sure of where you are and what the other person is capable of dispensing as information.
Can you learn tailoring from a bricklayer and become a great designer from there?
Can you learn war skills for a chef and become a great warrior from there?

You need to know the FRUIT produced by such a teacher before you can be rest assured that you're in the right place. Matthew 7:16-18

Jesus is the greatest teacher ever on this planet but do you know what he came to teach?
Well all his ministry is about how to prepare a united global family of peace loving worshipers {Isaiah 2:2-4} who will become subjects under his kingdom as he is the Prince of Peace {Isaiah 9:6} so he established a preaching and teaching campaign so that through mouth to mouth {Romans 10:13-15} the message can reach the ends of the earth! Matthew 24:14 compare to Act 1:8

So if any group of people form a religion their gathering becomes useless to Jesus if they're not working towards this goal that's why Jesus said:

“Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day: ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And then I will declare to them: ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness" Matthew 7:21-23

People becomes workers of LAWLESSNESS not because they aren't living by the rules in their country or because they have bad behavior but because they are not practicing what Jesus laid down as works assigned to his disciples.

Note how virtuous a Jewish man who came to Jesus is, this man has kept all the laws of God he knew from his youth but when it comes to preaching zealously and industriously teaching as Jesus assigned to his disciples this man can't meet up because his riches won't permit him to be humble enough to go knocking the doors of people who are looking up to him for financial assistance.
That's what Jesus meant by saying he should sell everything he has and give to the poor {Luke 18:18-23} Jesus never told anyone else this which means he doesn't mean literally selling everything he has but becoming humble to the extent of putting himself under those who are low to his status!

So to learn you have to know if your teacher is competent enough to impact knowledge not all teachings are beneficial! Matthew 16:6, 12

May you have PEACE!
