"Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know
the things that are freely given to us of God.” ( 1 Corinthians 2 : 12 )
In today's verse, the
Apostle Paul speaks about two spirits. One, the spirit in worldly men; Another
is the Spirit proceeding from God. The spirit of the world is sufficient to
know and act upon its functions in this world. But it is only when we receive
the Spirit from God that we can know the graces of God, the depths of His love,
and the spiritual truths above. This is what Paul is saying, "we have
received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we
might know the things that are freely given to us of God.”
In the next verse he says,
" Which
things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which
the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual”. ( 1
Corinthians 2 : 13 ) That is, he says that we do not speak like human beings,
especially worldly speakers and politicians, but we speak with the words that
the Holy Spirit teaches; It means that we are speaking from the experience we
have received from God.
Beloved, anyone can preach
the message of Christ. But this means that the help of the Spirit is needed to
declare such. Today, the speeches of many Gospel preachers and Rev. fathers are
the words of human wisdom. Teaching with learned knowledge without spiritual
experience is human teaching.
There is a Tamil proverb
that says, "what is in a vessel, it will come in the spoon" That
means we can give to others what we have. But when God works in us, we can know
and teach truths that we do not know, that is, that which we do not have, by
the Spirit.
Therefore, it is certain
that a person who lives his life with 100% worldly desire activities cannot
stand in a temple and give a spiritual message. Only one who receives the
spirit given by God and lives spiritually can give spiritual messages and guide
others in a spiritual way. We need to pray for getting such good spiritual
teachers.
The late Pastor Johnson
David (IPC Church) who guided me in spiritual life during my early days was not
very educated; He never attended theological college. But I have never seen a
preacher like him in all these years. Dear brethren, not only to teach in the
church, but also to live a spiritual life, it is necessary to receive the
spirit that comes from God so that we can know what God has given us. But these
things are not understood by men who do not know what the spiritual case is; It
is like a crazy rant.
Yes, " But
the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned.” ( 1 Corinthians 2 : 14 )
