Gal2:2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
Apostle Paul was a unique and dynamic apostle. He was not among the twelve disciples of Jesus that had intimate relationship with Christ but looking at the exploits he made for God and his kingdom, it was glaring that he excelled most of them because of the abundance of revelations that he received from the Lord which has formed the pillars of our faith.
Many of the things Paul taught in his days were not things he learnt from a Rabbi or any Apostle, they were products of direct revelation from God through the HolyGhost. As new testament believers, we need revelation. Now, I don't mean that you should start seeking prophetic revelations all around town, no. There are revelations that comes as a result of intimacy with the Holy Spirit. If you cultivate an intimate relationship with the HolySpirit, the eyes of your heart and understanding will open.
The secret of going up in life and staying there is revelation. Revelation makes for elevation in life without which you'll remain at the common level of everyone. The secret of high fliers in the kingdom is revelation, when you lay hold of kingdom secrets and unique instructions, you cannot but succeed.
Father, I receive grace to cultivate an intimate relationship with the HolyGhost In Jesus name.
