LUKE 2:42-52 the secret of wisdom ( SIT, LISTEN, ASK) Skip to main content

A story of my confused state

  2018, I moved to Ogun state and had to seek employment in a school within my vicinity. As a Lagos teacher, I was used to a vibrant class, swift answers and mushy acts by my students. So I resumed at my new work place with that fully charged energy. The first day got me confused. I was to teach the primary classes, I started my class and it was obvious these children were not following. They could neither understand what I was saying nor did they show any bit of interest. It was then I knew I had to start from the scratch. First, I had to create a connection. I wanted them to understand that I am first their friend. I needed to set the foundation that they can have both a friend and teacher in one. After that, I came down to their level. I made them feel and appreciate every little progress they made. I built up their interest in education. We worked together, applying several strategies I discovered and created, and within some month the growth was evident. Eureka is a book that ...

LUKE 2:42-52 the secret of wisdom ( SIT, LISTEN, ASK)


  •  learn the secret of wisdom ( sit, listen, ask)
ever wondered why Jesus would stoop so low as to sitting, listening and asking questions in the temple.  so many of those too have thought this way "how can i learn from him?" "how can i ask questions" and other every funny remarks.
Jesus Christ knew the secret for the height of wisdom he wanted lies in his ability to sit, listen and ask.
the sitting most come before the listening and then the asking comes after.

i wonder sometimes why some people ask amiss and i discovered it lies in their inability to sit.
the FACT ABOUT SITTING is that it relaxes your nerves and keeps you alert. it keeps you sense organs alert and ready for the information they are about to receive.
i discovered an information received while standing cant be compared to an information received while sitting.  when standing you are not focused, your mind is divided between the information and other happenings around you, but when you are sitted you hardly get distracted because you are fully relaxed.

also after listening it is very important to ask questions.
when you ask questions you would never be lost.
FACTS ABOUT SITTING, LISTENING AND ASKING.
  • sit before you listen, listen before you ask
  • sitting calms the nerves and prepares it for the next
  • when you sit and listen, you assimilate more
  • it is very important to ask questions after listening
  • knowledge lies in your ability to sit, listen and ask
now the problem we have is most people sit, listen and ask in the wrong place. that is why you see the level of criminal activities increasing every day.
the source of an information matter a lot, Jesus Christ knew just where to get the right information he needed, that's why he went to the temple.
he should have gone to the club, party, beer parlor, girlfriends house e.t.c to sit, listen and ask but he knew all those will mare his destiny so he choose the right source of information.

and we can see the end product of it.LUKE 2:52" And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men."

this sums it all up that the secret behind growing in wisdom, stature and favor with God and man lies in this equation
SIT+LISTEN+ASK(IN THE RIGHT PLACE)= GROWTH IN WISDOM, STATURE, WISDOM WITH GOD AND MAN.
Espoused to Him: December 2015

Jesus understood the right time to stay behind and he did that for the right  reason, he further went to sit, listen and ask in the right place.
he understood his mission and he knew the wisdom he needs could only be gotten from the temple. this is to say that not every location is good for you.
understanding you mission is very important because it will enable you know the right source to get the needed informations form.

so get to know your purpose/mission in life
acknowledge that you need a level of knowledge about you purpose
get the right source of knowledge
stay behind
sit
listen
ask
and you will see yourself flourishing.

THE OTHER SIDE

Am not here to talk an about the other room oh LOL😆😆 this one is about the other side. Please drop your comments, I would love to know how you feel about this post.    I was in church for the digging deep service, when the Preacher started teaching I noticed what he was saying didn't correspond with the digging deep study sheet I was given.  I checked the date of the sheet and it was 18th of October 2016 and the date for that day was 11th. I noticed the congregation didn't look confused like I was so I thought of calling the attention of the usher.  Before I could get the attention of the ushers I decided to turn the other side of the sheet and there it was 11th October 2016 the topic for that day. NOTE: Before I realized the topic been preached was on the other side, the preacher was almost through with the teaching. This singular event opened my eyes to amazing life lessons I would be sharing here. 1) Majority of us have been believing God for a particu...

TRAINING A CHILD

Its no longer news that children aren't trained in the way they ought to go but in the way their parents deem it fit for them to go. Before a child is born, parents have concluded on the path/career of the child and when he is born, he has no option than follow their path like a dummy least the society tags him a disobedient child. I was discussing with a couple days ago and I raised the topic of training a child. I told them children should in the way they should go not the way their parents want them to go. I was taken aback by their response "So we should allow him become wayward abi, he should do whatever he wants to do..." Pro 22:6 "Train up a child IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO and when he is old he won't depart from it." IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO not IN THE WAY YOU WANT HIM TO GO. Let me explain better with this illustration. A pencil marker was invented for the purpose of colouring drawings on paper, you bought it and without reading the manual yo...

CONDUCTOR'S SECRET

Y e sterday i boarded a bus to work and the conductor taught me a very important life lesson.  When i entered i was the only one in the bus and there were several buses there calling out for passengers but this conductor of the bus i entered did something i loved. He went across the road and started calling for passengers, he assisted some in crossing the road and he carried luggage of others. He also had to persuade some that his bus was going to move immediately they entered and before the twinkle of an eye the bus was filled while other buses were still there. After some passengers dropped he had to call for more passengers, the first two passengers offered to pay less which was ridiculous.  He refused to carry them and the bus moved to another location, getting there he picked passengers who paid exactly what he called.  It got me thinking thank God he didn't to carry those who offered to less. LESSONS FROM THIS STORY Develop a strategy that makes people ...
