31 Days Encounter With The Holy Spirit. Peter I. O
the best of what the Holy Spirit gives to His students in the school of wisdom, kindly do precisely what He asks you to do.
THERE ARE DIVERSITIES OF SUBJECTS
You must understand that there are many subjects which the Holy Spirit is going to teach you during this school of wisdom, so be willing to make changes and adjustments as He directs you. Your experience when the Holy Spirit is teaching you “Wisdom to obey God” may not be the same when He is teaching you “Wisdom to be patient”. Your experience when the Holy Spirit is teaching you “Wisdom to succeed in marriage” may be different from the experience you will have when He is teaching you “Wisdom to succeed in business”. Therefore, be diligent and willing to abide by the methods of the teachings of the Holy Spirit.
I remember what happened in my secondary school days which I know still occurs in today’s academics. I discovered that no matter how intelligent you are, there is always one or two subjects that seem so difficult for you to understand. Most students have problems with mathematics and other subjects that require calculations. After some efforts to come to the knowledge of these subjects, some students will still fail the subject.
In the Holy Ghost School of Wisdom, you may also find some subjects a bit challenging. The day He decides to teach you “Wisdom to practice kindness” may be the day someone you risk your life to help will rise against you. Be calm to know what He is teaching you through the actions and misbehaviour of the person. He might be letting you know that everyone you are kind to will not pay you back with kindness. Some people will try to pay you back with evil. This is to teach you that God is the only One who gives the reward of kindness. Some other experiences may also occur. But if you make up your mind and open your heart to learn from the Holy Spirit, you will succeed in life. You will surely have different encounters and experiences during this life-changing program. You may have some supernatural empowerments coming upon you like an anointing; you may notice the restoration of your lost memory, you may have some sensational feelings in your eyes when the Holy Spirit is repairing your impaired sight, you may also notice joy and peace feeling your heart, and many other transforming manifestations. All these and more are what the presence of the Holy Spirit brings. Therefore, do not be confused when all these things begin to happen in your life during this supernatural encounter; they are all for your good and blessings. They are parts of the benefits of the school of the Holy Spirit. Just be willing to follow the Holy Spirit step by step as He takes you through this school of wisdom and revelation knowledge.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Hello, do you want to know how much this school of wisdom may cost?. I have good news for you. It is free. Yes, it is free. Do you know why our generous God made it free?. The reason is that the price of wisdom is pricey beyond every currency in the whole world. If God were to put a price tag on it, nobody on earth could be able to afford it, not even the wealthiest person on earth. Let’s consider what the Bible says about the price of wisdom.
“But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Man does not know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living. The deep says, ‘it is not in me’, and the sea says, ‘it is not with me’. It cannot be purchased for gold, nor can silver be weighed for its price. It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire. Neither gold nor crystal can equal it, nor can it be exchanged for jewellery of fine gold. No mention shall be made of coral or quartz, for the price of wisdom is above rubies. The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it, nor can it be valued in pure gold. From where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding?. It is hidden from the eyes of all the living, and concealed from the birds of the air. Destruction and Death say, ‘we have heard a report about it with our ears’, God understands its way, and He knows its place. For He looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole heavens, to establish a weight for the wind, and apportion the water by measure. When He made a law for the rain, and a path for the thunderbolt, then He saw wisdom and declare it. He prepared it. Indeed, He searched it out.”
(Job 28:12-27)
I really have to take a deep breath before I continue. “Did you just read the scripture in Job 28:12-27, did you see the manifold riches, glory, and splendour filled in wisdom, did you see how precious it is, do you think anyone could have afforded it?.” Of course, No. Not even the wealthiest person on earth could have afforded it. But God in His infinite love, mercy, and generosity has made it available for anyone who desires to have this godly wisdom. You can be wiser today if you make up your mind to learn and walk in the wisdom of God.

GETTING STARTED
W
e are about to get started. But before then, we need to know what the school of wisdom requires. Understanding the requirements will help you to make adequate preparation for this glorious learning. Just as the human and earthly schools we attend has some requirements, the school of wisdom which is more of spiritual also has some requirements that will help you to maintain the standard of the learning process, and also go through the school successfully.
Remember that you are a student and not a teacher. Don’t try to teach the Holy Spirit, allow Him to teach you. Some people want to tell the Holy Spirit how to do things instead of listening to His instructions.
Someone was speaking to a congregation one day. Suddenly, the Holy Spirit began to speak to him concerning some things He wants the speaker to do. Instead of obeying the voice of the Holy Spirit, the preacher said to the Holy Spirit, “Please Holy Spirit, am not here for this”. The moment the preacher said this, the voice ceased, and the preacher continued his preaching.
The response of the preacher to the voice of the Holy Spirit was very wrong. The preacher could have suspended whatever he was doing and attend to what the Holy Spirit called his attention to. You are a student, and the Holy Spirit is your teacher. You are to learn from Him and not Him learning from you. He can only start when you are willing to learn. As a student, never you argue with the Holy Spirit or ignore His voice. He may keep silent when you ignore His voice, but that will not be good to you. Some of the challenges people go through in life are actually a call to humbly learn from the Holy Spirit and embrace the wisdom of God. The time of challenges should be a time to learn and increase in wisdom and not a time to become more foolish.
