MENGERTI ITU PENTING

Bacaan: EFESUS 4:11-16

Shalom,
Kami menanam zamioculcas zamiifolia, tanaman hias yang selalu segar itu. Suatu ketika, seorang teman mengatakan, tanaman itu menyebabkan kanker darah. Segera, tanaman itu kami buang. Lama setelah itu, saya menemukan sumber tepercaya yang memastikan bahwa zamioculcas zamiifolia (zuzu plant) sama sekali tidak berbahaya. Tanaman itu justru menyerap polutan di udara, hingga baik sebagai pemurni udara di dalam ruangan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamioculcas). Memang. Asal mengikut, tanpa mengerti, benar-benar tidak tepat.

Bacaan hari ini, Rasul Paulus menasihati agar kita memahami ajaran yang benar, supaya kita tidak mudah terseret oleh pelbagai ajaran yang salah. Nasihat itu sungguh benar. Tidak memahami sesuatu yang seharusnya dipahami adalah kelemahan. Itu membuat orang mudah terseret informasi dari sembarang sumber. Mempercayai informasi dari sembarang sumber, dan bertindak berdasarkan informasi sembarangan, adalah kesalahan besar. 

Anda lihat? Nasihat itu sangat relevan, tidak hanya untuk soal ajaran kepercayaan saja, tetapi juga untuk hal-hal yang lain.

Sekarang ini, banyak kepentingan (ideologi, ajaran, aliran, dsb.) mengepung kita. Kita ditarik dari semua arah untuk dimasukkan ke dalam pengaruh mereka. Apa pun keputusan kita, semua pasti membawa konsekuensi. Dalam situasi itu, nasihat Rasul Paulus makin terasa penting: Pahamilah semua yang perlu dipahami-dengan mencari tahu sendiri, atau bertanya kepada sumber yang bisa dipercaya-agar kita bisa memilih sikap yang tepat. Mengerti itu penting.

BANYAK KEPENTINGAN DUNIA MENJADIKAN KITA "BARANG REBUTAN". MEMAHAMI YANG PERLU DIPAHAMI ITU PENTING AGAR KITA BISA BERSIKAP TEPAT.

Tuhan Yesus memberkati

Now more than ever before we need to press into hearing what the Spirit of the Lord is saying today. We need to know Him. This manual will help you in your journey of intimacy with the Lord and bring you to greater understanding of the commands in Scripture to encourage one another. I often will say as I instruct ones in the prophetic that all of the gifts of the Spirit flow through the prophetic. Being a prophetic person is one who is able to hear from God. We all hear from God to a certain extent. The sons of Issachar had understanding of the times and they knew what to do. Having understanding of the times is equal to having words of wisdom, words of knowledge, and discernment flowing through you. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of wisdom. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of knowledge. If we can hear God's voice we can have discernment. If we can hear God's voice we can have faith to declare those things that are not as though they are. If we can hear God's voice then all of the Gifts of the Spirit will flow through us. More than ever before we need to understand that in the last days, as prophesied by Joel and repeated by Peter, there will be widespread revelations from God. We will not receive revelations from God if we do not hear His voice. God speaks in a variety of ways. The most basic avenues God speaks to us are through the Bible, prayer, people, nature, dreams, and an inner sense of knowing something. Certainly and most definitely we have entered such an occasion. God is speaking today. It behooves all believers to embark on this most exciting journey of learning to hear God?s voice in as many possible ways as God is speaking.
