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.(John 14:26 KJV)

I once heard the story of an English speaking evangelist in the mission field in Brazil. He doesn’t speak nor understand Portuguese and whenever he goes for outreaches or crusades, he always uses an interpreter. On one of such engagements where he was invited to minister at a crusade, his interpreter had an emergency and cancelled at the last minute. With the communication barrier, he concluded on cancelling too but the host suggested he should just come and shout “Praise the Lord” on the podium and leave afterwards. In the night before the crusade, the Holy Spirit visited him as the teacher and when he woke up, he discovered he could speak and understand Portuguese fluently without going to any language school.

The Holy Ghost is always willing to teach us and bring us into higher dimensions of the reality embedded in God if we acknowledge Him as our teacher and that we are incapacitated in our own wisdom. David said “he teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight”. The Holy Ghost was sent from heaven to give us an advantage and part of His ministry is to teach us things and bring us into new manifestations that we do not know existed through His empowerment.

In 1 Samuel 11, Saul was going to lead Israel to his first battle as King and when the Spirit came upon him, it released a wisdom that generated fear across the land and the same day, 330,000 men were gathered ready to fight which militarily is almost impossible to mobilise such at that short notice. Meanwhile, the army of Israel lacked military experience because they had not fought nor trained together for years during Samuel’s time as judge. It was the teaching Spirit that taught King Saul how to order and command them through a superior military strategy and they decimated the enemy.

Are there areas of life, academic, career, business, marriage or ministry we are struggling with? This is why the Holy ghost was sent and latching on to the great teacher guarantees a most profitable journey because He is always willing and available to those who call on Him (Jer. 33:3) .

Prayer point:
Let’s thank God for His word and answers to our prayers. Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to manifest Himself afresh to us as a teacher and teach us great things towards the empowerment of His kingdom.

God bless you!
