Of Mastery

Apostle Grace Lubega

John 3:8-10(KJV); The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

There is a knowledge in God that every person who seeks mastery or lays a claim to mastery ought to have.

This is why Christ asks Nicodemus, ‘Art thou a master of Israel and KNOWEST not these things?’

The world has a pattern by which it crowns its masters. For example, by the standard of the world, ten thousand hours invested in the doing of a particular thing can make you a master in it. Years of study in a particular field can make you a master in it.

However, that is not necessarily the way in which mastery in the things of God comes. There are things in the spirit that do not submit to mastery simply by reason of endless practice.

In the realm of God, mastery may come to one in mere moments when God awakens a man’s spirit to certain spiritual realities. What may take a man years to learn can come to you in moments.

In God, there is a perfection that comes with the fullness of revelation.

For example, a man can submit himself to the things that bring mastery in the spirit by how he responds to the authority of the word in the simplest convictions of spirit. Sometimes the biggest crowns come from the smallest efforts of obedience.

Glory to God!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

There is a knowledge in God that every person who seeks mastery ought to have. Sometimes the biggest crowns come from the smallest efforts of obedience.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this knowledge and wisdom. Thank you because every day, you instruct me in mastery and point me to the laws by which I must strive for it. My spirit is open and yielded to maximize the occasions of the Spirit that you present for my growth. I am quickened in my walk with you in all areas of my life. To the glory of your name. Amen.
