PONDER!
When we received Christ (John 1:12) some 37 years ago, we studied the word humbly under the tutelage of more mature brethren for several years—searching the scripture daily, asking questions and discussing the answers like Christ at the age of twelve in the temple with the teachers.
We sat at the feet of the Lord and continued learning under the fivefold ministry to establish ourselves in the word. Even after we got into the ministry after years of service and learning, we didn't stop unlearning and relearning under the school of the Holy Spirit and men and women of the word.
Today, we have people who didn't attend adult Sunday school parading as Apostles, Prophets and Bishops, etc. They shout their errors from the rooftops, but you can't help them. They know it all!
Apollos humbled himself despite his loudness to learn under Aquila and Priscilla, mentees of the Apostle Paul. Acts 18:23-26.
Paul didn't start Damascus ministries after his encounter with Christ on his way to Damascus but became part of the Church in Antioch. Acts 13:1-3, where he was commissioned.
After some years, he travelled to Jerusalem to meet with the Apostles to share what he was preaching to the Gentiles. Why? He didn't want to walk in error without knowing, which may result in him running the race in vain.
Galatians 2:1-2.
Today, we have a generation of young people who haven't had a testimony of a walk with God or established in the word but want to teach their errors to people they should be humbly learning from with all humility.
It has become part of today's gospel for people to express their opinions as biblical truths.
I weep for those sitting and drinking from such a fountain of errors.
The claim of learning from the Holy Spirit without the humility to learn from human instruments the Holy Spirit uses to equip the Saints is pride that invites destruction. Ephesians 4:11-14.
James 3:1 (NLT)

Dear brothers and sisters,* not many of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly.👈👈👈
Just as false prophets are dangerous, the scripture warned us of false teachers in the last days.
We all must walk with the Lord in this crucial hour with humility and discernment. The days are evil!
May the Lord help us🙏🙏
