Message

The simplest definition of learning given by the dictionary is that learning is “the acquisition of knowledge or skills through study, experience, or being taught.” Educationists recognize the 4Es of learning as Education which refers to information, instructions and knowledge are sharing; Experience, acquisition of skills and competencies; Exposure, connections and collaborations with others and Environment, the atmosphere of learning. Learning in the 21st century emphasizes active classroom or learning by doing.

Jesus employed the principle of an active classroom in His earthly ministry. He called and ordained the 12 apostles and taught them through instruction, association and demonstration and sent them out to learn more on the field of evangelism as they engaged in practical preaching of the gospel as they had learnt from Him. As a Christian youth, you are expected to do what you have been taught by your church leaders. As you engage in preaching the gospel of our Lord, you will learn the things of God more. However, learning from Jesus entails giving your life to Him first so that He can reveal the Kingdom to you.
