Teaching and learning in the Christian Life pt. 2 How to Learn

Introduction
Teaching necessitates learning the fact that God has appointed teachers and given them double responsibility means that the teaching and learning process is important to God Eph. 4:11; Matt. 28 - Part of the Great Commission itself implies that learning is how people become disciples

Attitude
Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. o Do not reject knowledge, but embrace it 2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. o Learn with the aim of becoming more fruitful in Gods Kingdom by allowing Christ to be formed in you Pro 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he o Your attitude determines your state of being mental attitude affects reality I approach every service with the thought that today God will speak to me o If you think you cannot, or you think you can, you are right!

Appeal
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. o The Holy Spirit has been given so that we may be taught ask Him to teach you. If He can heal our diseased and damaged bodies, surely He can heal our minds and make us wiser o Appeal to Him to help you understand the ways of God

Attention
Mat 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. o Pay attention to and try to understand what you hear

Story of Jacob and the speckled flocks o Sheep and goats focused on what was in front of them, and they reproduced accordingly Pay attention to sermons and lessons; try to understand what you hear; ask people for clarification

Apply
Jos 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. o Apply Gods Word to our lives o Make corrections to our thoughts, speech, and actions ***God will always bring us back to where we went wrong we cannot move further ahead unless we have made the necessary corrections

Advance
Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. o It is necessary to go beyond the basics, and learn the deeper things of God The reason for suffering How to advance in Gods Kingdom Marks of a successful life true riches

Conclusion
Let us make 2014 to be a year of learning the ways of God: Have an ATTITUDE of learning APPEAL to God for help Pay ATTENTION to what you hear and learn APPLY the principles of God to your life ADVANCE in Gods Kingdom do not stay in one place

So that we can fulfil the mandate of God for our own lives as well as Calvary AOG Church!
