The Supernatural Teacher

TEXT: LUKE 2: 1 TO END

SHUN MATERIAL THINGS

Read carefully through the text to see what you can derive from it. I will want to add a few more
points and ideas to what you have made out from the passage. If you should know how important
my teachings are, you would have been glad to receive them. The fact you do not know their worth,
explains why you scoff at them. Your problems emanate from this fact. You should discard your old
ways in order to behold the glory of God as stated in verses 29 – 32 of our text:

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant, depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people. A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

It is advisable to read St. Luke chapter two between lines to know how frivolous your desires are.
You are always requesting for husbands, money, children, wives, oversea travels, erection of
magnificent mansions. These are irrelevant things. Accumulating of wealth does not give you peace
of mind. You should be happy for having been called into this kingdom because there is nothing as
great as this.

You should put a stop to your frivolous requests. All you are requested to do is to thank God for every situation you find yourself. Your lengthy list of requests is boring. The best thing to do is to worship, adore, reverence, glorify and to praise Him for His works. You will be blessed if you do this.

Could you have believed that the Holy Spirit could be personalised? He is in your midst today and He
has confused the world. Everything is under him. To prove His supremacy, He reduces the knowledge of this world to nothing. Parent do not relish their children as was the case formerly. The reason is that the Holy Spirit is on earth. Pride, arrogance and individualistic tendencies have ceased. Those who know about the presence of the Holy Spirit do not marry.

In the past, marriage was esteemed as the most important aspect of human life. The era of the Holy
Spirit has put a paid to some of the society’s ideals and norms. Celibacy and purity are the ideals of the Holy Spirit; people now prefer holiness to marriage. Millionaire do not cherish their money any longer. Their hope is in the Holy Spirit.
