SUPERNATURAL KNOWLEDGE
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3).
Some years ago, a man called a press briefing where he questioned the authenticity of a miracle that happened at an evangelist’s crusade. According to him, the evangelist claimed that someone who was born blind had begun to see, and to prove this, he made the person identify the colour of a tie.
This man wondered how someone who was born blind and never interacted with colours could immediately identify a colour without first having to learn it. He thus concluded that the miracle wasn’t real. To consider such a miracle as fake is to not know the power of God, as Jesus said: “...ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God” (Matthew 22:29).
Our opening scripture says that Jesus Christ is the embodiment of all wisdom and knowledge. Why would it be strange or impossible for the same God, who can open blind eyes, to enable a man who was born blind to instantly identify colours supernaturally? What God did was to impart that man with the gift of knowledge.
This is a gift of the Spirit that’s so important. By it, you supernaturally know the things of this life. One of my very first experiences of the manifestation of the gift of knowledge was when, by inspiration, I described the inside arrangement of a certain fruit I had never seen before. The person I was talking with went to a biology textbook to examine what I had said and found everything I had said to be perfectly correct.
Most of the things I know, I know by the Spirit, through the gift of knowledge. Many times, Scriptures are supernaturally unveiled to me. Sometimes, I just know what’s in the original text. These are higher blessings God has graced us with that the natural man can never attain. “But why aren’t many Christians manifesting this gift?”
It’s because most haven’t heard about it and haven't been taught how to take advantage of it. Just as sinners receive faith for salvation and come to Christ when salvation is preached and taught, when we teach or major on subjects like this, people’s minds are open for the impartation of divine knowledge. It’s one of the ways it happens, in addition to yielding to the ministry of the Spirit.
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for the ministry of the Holy Spirit in my life. Your Spirit teaches me all things and gives me supernatural knowledge about the things of this life. There’s nothing I cannot know because my heart is open to receive mysteries and secrets that the world can never understand, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
