Education, knowledge, a powerful weapon
2 Corinthians 10:4-5
"Spiritual weapons for Christians are not physical, but divine, capable of destroying strongholds and taking everything thought captive to the obedience of christ."
The Importance of Education
Attending school, college and university are vital for personal growth in gaining knowledge, confidence, skills, self-discipline and to encourage your own problem solving and critical thinking also training in a chosen subject area you wish to pursue for your future employment and success.
Education can also help us understand the importance of learning with others, being part of a world that should care and respect each other,a place where we make lasting healthy friendships.
Spiritual education for Christians is a lifelong, incredible journey together with the Holy Spirit, our characters and inner lives are gradually transformed for us to become more like christ, temple builders of faith, love, being longsuffering, enduring painful challenges that Jesus helps us overcome. We then share our testimonies with others to increase their belief and faith in God.
SPIRITUAL EDUCATION
1. THE WORD OF GOD
Through Spiritual Education, we also learn precious lessons from the word of God and our Holy Spirit, which is also a powerful weapon, "Sharper than two edge sword". Hebrews 4:12
We realise that the word of God stabilisers, strengthens us, empowers, and protects us. Jesus gives the perfect example in Matt 4: 1-11, where he defeats all the temptations of the Devil with scripture. We must also have ‘Go To’ scriptures to help us in our time of need. For example: No weapons formed against us Isaiah 54:17.
2. PRAYER - Ephesians 6: 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people
3. GIFTS & TALENTS
Spiritual education for christians also includes how to use our God-given skills, talents to worship, and edify others.
We live for him now, and for heaven, which has been prepared for us with Christ, either place we can achieve success and happiness with Christ as our master builder.
The more we choose christ daily, the closer we become to him.
Using spiritual and some lessons from statutory education, we can all effect change in the world, sharing Christ love and power to save from sin, building a brighter future for all. Amen
