OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
LEARN FROM YOUR SUBORDINATES
25TH , JUNE 2022
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 68-69
READ: 2 Peter 3:14-16
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent
that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as
our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath
written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking
in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which
they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other
scriptures, unto their own destruction.

MEMORISE:
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”- Proverbs 1:7
THE MESSAGE:
Don’t ever see anybody as
too small to counsel you when you know that they have the knowledge that can
move you to your next level. We see from our memory verse today that only fools
despise wisdom and instruction.
I remember when social
media was becoming popular; it was my youngest son whom I asked for tutoring.
He was my teacher in that area of life. When I was in secondary school, I had
some challenges with English Language. In those days, for the Cambridge exam
(now known as Senior Secondary School Certificate Exam), the British said that
it did not matter if you got an A1 in every other subject; if you failed
English, then you would have failed all.
I was just a village boy,
nobody in my family could speak a word of English, so I knew I needed help. There
was a boy in school who grew up in the United Kingdom, so he had a good grasp
of the language, but he was my junior. I went to meet this junior boy and told
him that he was to start teaching me English. I said whenever I had money, I
would buy him groundnuts. He taught me English Language and I passed the exam.
On the score sheet, there
was no mention of the fellow who taught me, no one cared; as long as I knew
what I was supposed to know, I passed the examination and moved on with my
education. Don’t ever feel too proud to learn from your subordinates. If we are
to be honest, these young ones who are just coming up have tools that we did
not have in our time. They have more access to knowledge than we do. If we
learn the latest trends from them and then combine this knowledge with our
wealth of experience, we will go really far.

Believe me honestly, it
does not matter who teaches you; all that matters is that you get the knowledge
you need to move ahead in life. In our Bible reading for today, though Peter
had been in ministry before Paul, he acknowledged that Paul had been given
wisdom by God to preach deep truths on salvation. Put your pride aside and
learn from even your subordinates so that you can continue to go higher and
higher.
KEY POINT
Don’t despise the wisdom you need to succeed
just because it is domiciled in your subordinate.
DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
