Blue Bicycle - word of knowledge

 Good morning 😀

On this blog l do my very best to keep up with the evidence of the Spirit of the Living God alive and well in our daily life.

Here is another l clearly forgot to record.

This scenario happened during my last teaching time at the public school l taught at for 8 years. A young lad from grade 8 asked me about the various gifts of the Spirit.

I replied to him stating that there are 9 gifts of the Spirit.. He asked me sir what is the gift of a word of knowledge. I replied to him saying well my boy it's when God gives you information about something in someone else's life and when you speaker words that you have been given,  the person is shocked that you knew something about them that no one else did. What do you mean sir? To which I replied I saw you riding your blue Bicycle on the weekend and you were coming down a hill, a steep hill, and a bus came up behind you and nearly ran you over. You literally had to swerve out the way and you crushed onto the verge on the side of the road. You were not badly injured.

When I told the boy this information he literally burst out crying and his legs went weak. On his haunches he looked up at me and said sir you have just described what happened to me on Saturday. I was riding my blue Bicycle down the hill here in Morningside, and a bus almost knocked me over. I had to swerve on to the verge and I fell onto the grass. How did you know that? To which I replied I did not know that, but that is how the gift of the Spirit, a word of knowledge functions. 

I was as shocked as the young lad as I had never operated in the gift of knowledge ever. I was just trying to give him an illustration of how it works when the story I used in my illustration was actually a scenario he had found himself in a few days before. 

Her incredible is that, that young boy will never forget that lesson and nor will l.

The gifts of the spirit as recorded in the Bible are still functioning well in those that believe.
