"Teach the wise, and they will be wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn more."
Proverbs 9:9 NLT
Many people overlook one of the most valuable assets God has given them: their knowledge.
We often assume that teaching is reserved for experts, professors, or people with decades of experience. Yet God frequently uses ordinary people who have learned valuable lessons through life's journey. If God has taught you something that can help another person, then you already possess something worth sharing.
A wonderful biblical example is Aquila and Priscilla. When they met Apollos, he was an eloquent speaker and knowledgeable in the Scriptures. Yet there were important truths he had not fully understood. Instead of criticising him, they took him aside and taught him more accurately.
"Then Priscilla and Aquila heard him. They took him aside and explained the way of God even more accurately."
Acts 18:26 NLT
Because they were willing to share what they knew, Apollos became even more effective in his ministry. Their knowledge became someone else's breakthrough.
The same principle applies today. Perhaps you know how to manage money wisely, communicate effectively, use technology, grow a business, care for a family member, recover from illness, or navigate a challenge that others are currently facing. What feels ordinary to you may be life changing for someone else.
In today's world, people are constantly searching for guidance. They want to learn skills, gain confidence, save time, avoid mistakes, and solve problems. That is why coaching, tutoring, mentoring, training, consulting, and online learning continue to grow. People will gladly learn from someone who can help them move from confusion to clarity.
Do not focus on what you do not know. Focus on what God has already taught you.
Conclusion
The knowledge God gives you is not meant to stop with you. Someone else's answer may be hidden within a lesson you have already learned. As Aquila and Priscilla faithfully shared what they knew, they helped another person fulfil God's purpose. In the same way, God can use your experiences, skills, and wisdom to open doors for others and perhaps even for you.
