UNSCHOOLED BUT SUPERNATURAL

Acts4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

Sometimes ago, I met a prophet of God. He is the eight child of his mother and the only son in a polygamous family of seven wives. He was in his mother's womb for 3 years and was born with some teeth. He grew up in a battle ground of polygamous tussle between wives. That family problem impeded his schooling so he stopped schooling in primary three. He couldn't read and write because of his academic background. When he came to Christ, he loved the Lord and the Holy Spirit taught him how to read and write. Today, the man can speak good English, read and write. He is preaching everywhere doing exploit for Jesus.

Peter and John stood before the council after they performed a great miracle. The council members most of whom were the legal scholars of that time were surprised when they heard them speak because they were unschooled but they were supernatural. Then they concluded that they had been with Jesus because there was no other way they could have been outstanding. The secret of exploit in the kingdom is not the number of degree you acquire. How I wish the wise and intelligentsias can explain the things of the Spirit with scientific wisdom.

I am not against seeking knowledge for self improvement and to be relevant in the scheme of things. However, nothing beats staying with Christ and learning under Him. Degrees can't unlock the supernatural. If any man any where in the world can stay with Jesus like Peter and John, regardless of tribe, background and education, they will do exploit. Education is good but still cannot take the place of being with Jesus Christ. The life of Christ in us is priceless. The difference maker is Christ. As we fellowship with Christ in His word and in prayer, a transformation would occur in us that would make the world marvel. Christ is the secret behind kingdom exploit.

Action point

Jesus, I want to know you more, to be with you and walk with you till your divinity swallow my humanity in Jesus name.
