UNDERSTANDING In The GRACE – The leverage To Be – ABOVE ONLY

UNDERSTANDING In The GRACE – The leverage To Be – ABOVE ONLY: It Gives The Needed Altitude To OUTSMART Your TEACHERS And TEXTBOOKS!

I don’t know who has been your TEACHER, INSTRUCTOR, MENTOR and what kind of ANCIENTS (Books, Biography) you have read or reading or understudy or understudying at this moment, but I have miniature short story of life at sunrise to sunset as a teen.

Growing up, I hear this continuous phrase
that our children should be better than us and they should outsmart one in LIFE
and GODLY LIVING. For this cause most parents I know work so hard to ensure
that their children become exactly that in many ways, though most of the bulk
lies on the Child/Children to become what they are purported to be in many ways
too.

I remember while getting set for my
secondary, my Dad of blessed memory called me to his bedroom one early morning
which is unusual, to give me an instruction to greatness in my life. He called
me many times by my name and asked me, how many times did he call me. Then
said, what’s my family name. I answered him accordingly. He said that as I
leave to the Boarding School, I should not forget my name and family name.
Meaning, live up to it and ABOVE ALL, I should ensure to be better of than he
is. Meaning, it’s my RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY to BECOME. I heard him
well. And INDEED.

And as a young teenage that have accepted
Christ then, the only thing I could hear within, supposedly by the Holy Spirit
then, was to be PRINCIPLED in my PATH in order to evade distractions and then
become. And out of my given pocket spending while in boarding school, I bought
extra textbook or workbook way beyond what the school recommended in syllabus
to top up my intent in GRACE. It was not necessarily as I recall now and as
then to meet up with my loving Dad intents or demands, but to ensure that I
don’t jeopardize my FAITH in Christ Jesus by being a FAILURE or FAILING
student, who then have to live on the mercy of my TEACHERS or TUTORS. I wanted
to be ABOVE ONLY. And it paid off. Am grateful to Dad. Thank you God.

Overtime, my class Tutor, will call me to
give my classmates teaching classes while away for staff meeting to keep ORDER
and DECENCY in the classroom. And my classmates were so surprised of such
accord by the Classroom Tutor, that two of them came to my hostel and stole
away my gifted Bible by my Uncle Austin, as a measure to deter me. Thank God
one of them gave his life to Christ Jesus afterwards and now Pastor a Church to
God’s glory. Also, during classes, I will ask my Tutors of various interest
subjects, questions that they were wandering and wondering how manage and how
come if I am using same teaching syllabus materials as others. They NEVER knew
that I have read in my Bible – Psalms 119:97-100 of what I can be if I give in
to channel my life by God’s WORD. The Psalmist Scripture is the consequence of
my KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of Proverbs 22:29 and Proverbs 21:31. And ever
since, I knew that by the SCRIPTURES, I could be tailored to OUTSMART my
TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS and the ANCIENT – (written records set before
time by others in books and other life format) if I will in my subject of
interest. Simply because, life is dynamic and evolves in different ways to answer
the QUEST of humanity. The rest today is history to God’s eternal glory. Amen.

I have share the above foretaste to let you
know and understand that you can OUTSMART your TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS
and the ANCIENT in that trade and field of ENDEAVOURS, if you give yourself to
the UNDERSTANDING of that SUBJECT in question. I know God’s WORD works for all
who will DILIGENTLY with gracious delight look up to it as the WISDOM NUGGETS
in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

Therefore, in all your getting, get UNDERSTANDING in the light of the Scriptures on that Trade, Family, Marriage, Business, Career, Leadership, Enterprise and such likes. This is to enhance the BEST of God in you TANGIBLE, LIVEABLE and COMPREHENSIBLE as desired in the LIGHT of the SCRIPTUES. God’s WORD works today and it’s more ASSURED now than ever before.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
