Clarity of Concepts is Key to Learning
The most important thing in learning is clarity of concepts. You must often ask yourself, are your concepts clear? If your concepts are not clear, you cannot proceed. If you are studying accounting, you need to clarify the basic concepts of accounting.
When we study, we find that a lot of knowledge is built on concepts. You must clarify the concepts no matter what. If you are reading a book, what is often cited are concepts.
Recently, I gave a child a book, Leadership. What is leadership? You need to be clear. Laying a solid foundation means clarifying concepts.
In the process of building the church, I often ask myself, what is the church? I go back to the Bible to find the answer. Jesus said, I will build my church on the rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Then the next question is, what is the rock? The rock is the word of heaven.
I really like a concept, the Word. The Word is the Word of God. The church is a group of people based on the recognition of God's Word. The power of hell is the source of birth, old age, sickness, and death. To overcome the power of hell, the basic function of the church is healing and deliverance.
Therefore, unclear concepts can be fatal. The church is not a club, a place for dancing, performing, or eating. We must make God's Word clear, so we often study the Bible, systematically studying the Bible. If your concepts are unclear, you will think that Christmas is a holiday for exchanging gifts. But this is not what the church should be doing.
Many people are confused, as if a church with healing and deliverance has become a heresy, and a church without healing and deliverance has become orthodox. If you are a learner who does not grasp the fundamentals, you can easily be confused.
Professor So-and-so speaks well, Pastor So-and-so speaks well. Why is it good? Because you cannot understand it. And I like to clarify the concepts, and then I can simplify things. If the concepts are not clear, you will definitely not be able to simplify things.
What is faith? Faith is a choice in your heart. There is no why, I just like it. It's like, do you like durian? Why do you like it? There is no way to answer this question. I just like it. Some people used to say that believing is a feeling of goosebumps and electric shock. But in fact, it is not so mysterious, it is just a choice.
I once heard someone talk about the concept of pastoring. I stayed in the local church for many years. Sometimes they would visit my house, chat with me about some things, and it didn't have much to do with me, and I found it quite annoying. I thought this was pastoring. Later, when I built my own church, I wondered, what is pastoring? This is quite interesting.
I just don't understand, I thought what they did before was pastoring, but I don't want to go to other people's houses, and they are annoyed by me. What exactly is this pastoring? It is to break down the flesh, break down people's spiritual bondage, share the Word of God, and apply the Word of God to life. If you do this for a few years, people's lives will be very prosperous. Later, I understood that pastoring is about solving people's problems and pastoring according to people's desires.
In life, you encounter many things that are very common. If I just ask you a few questions, you may not be able to answer them, then you must have unclear concepts. Why are you going to school? To train for the ability to make a living. Is going to class and listening to the teacher learning? That is listening to lectures, not learning. People who learn well are not tired. If you only listen to lectures, you will definitely be finished when you take the exam; if you can study on your own, then passing is no problem; if you both listen to lectures and study on your own, then you will definitely learn well.
If you only read books, you will find that problems emerge one after another after working for a period of time. If the concepts are unclear, you will be very uncomfortable. Just like today's testimony, a sister found a job, was fired, found a job, and was fired again. What is the problem? You must find out. Accountants and lawyers must have clear concepts.
Dealing with Bad Habits
Children who do not study well all start with not grasping concepts. Today, we must all remove bad habits. The first bad habit is impatience, wanting to become a big fat person in one breath. Never grab the eyebrows and beard all at once, that will be troublesome. Some people read books, reading every word, but many words are important, and many words are not important. Concepts must be important, and examples can be skimmed.
The second bad habit is fear of difficulty. Before you even read it, you think you cannot understand it.
The third bad habit is not pondering. If you don't ponder, you can't eat it. You must inherit the character in me well, often ponder, and clarify the concepts. I couldn't understand the Book of Hebrews at first, so I just read it hard, read it hard, and then I understood it. You must ponder. When the concepts are clear, you will suddenly become clear. Don't just listen to secondhand information, you must grasp firsthand information, and if you understand it yourself, you can use it.
Learning to Learn
The cultivation of learning ability is to learn to clarify concepts. It is uncomfortable for the human brain to be filled with chaotic things, and it is comfortable to be filled with clear things. A knowledge system is a combination of concepts. Everything you know is a clear concept. This is very clear. Decoration, investment and financial management, you can figure it out, ponder it, it is not that difficult. If you still cannot live well like this, then it is a spiritual problem that must be dealt with.
Everyone who seeks finds, Jesus is encouraging us to learn. The things that others seek cannot be put into your brain. It is very difficult for the human brain to copy things in. People must learn, and in the process of seeking, exercise your character. In the process of seeking, you will get pleasure.
