LEARNING
Learning (Word web Dictionary): The
cognitive process of acquiring skill/knowledge.
For the
purpose of this study, I’ll be working with the definition above.
I started
this series with the clarification that Knowledge is the same as Information,
and I Further defined
·
Monitoring
– the act of gathering Information
·
Evaluation
- the processing of gathered Information
·
Accountability
- the taking of responsibility of the processed Information
After doing
this trio is there still a thing left I retorted while writing this up in the
early hours of the day. Then I answered myself – Yes!
There is more to Learning not
because it’s the last letter of the acronym MEAL but because grace dropped
something on my heart to share with you again.
I go fully
into the discussion of the day:
Learning (Word web Dictionary): The
cognitive process of acquiring skill/knowledge.
Acquiring(according to word
web): The act of getting something.
Therefore,
Learning is the cognitive process of getting Skills/knowledge.
I want you
to read along with the ideology of interpreting getting in this context to mean
buying/purchasing.
Therefore:
·
Learning is the cognitive process of
buying the valued processed Information.
You gather to get!
Back to the Scriptures:
Learning
(Word web Dictionary): The cognitive process of acquiring skill/knowledge.
Matt
13:44-46:
The Parable of the
Hidden Treasure
44 "Again, the kingdom
of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and
for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
The Parable of the Pearl of
Great Price
45 "Again, the kingdom
of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great
price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
NKJV
In other words, Acquisition comes after
Joy.
Joy made these 2 men sell all they had
to buy the field and goodly pearl respectively.
What
is your Joy??
That’s
to say you cannot Acquire what you do not Desire irrespective of what is Required!
The
issue is most young Adult out there venture into their relationships,
business/career/job without proper monitoring, evaluation and accountability
thereby making it hard for them finding Joy.
We talking business today as it is a Monday
and that will make me ask this question:
Is your business/career/job giving you
Joy? If it does not then you cannot acquire!
Joy
comes after you have Monitored Evaluated and Accounted.
Remember that Scripture?
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy
comes in the morning. (AMP
Psalms 30:5)
What
that scripture is saying is the Monitoring period, the evaluation period and
time of test of accountability will only last for a while - the night but the Joy
(derived from the night) comes in the morning.
That’s
the Joy that helped these two guys in the scriptures we read above get those
deal.
Men
do not see your toil (Monitoring, Evaluations, Accountability) which is the
night, Men see your morning – what you have learnt, what you have acquired!
Jesus
said in John 9:4:
I
must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming
when no one can work. (NKJV)
The
night here in this scripture is talking about the time when you can no more
acquire!
Utilize
the day, make use of all the experience gathered, let all the happiness amount
to Joy and acquire!
I challenge everyone reading this piece today, go where the Joy is!
Do
not let the economic situation of your country, background, academic
qualifications or complexes direct your path to where you find no joy.
If
you remain where you joy is not, you will remain there forever – You’ll come
out with nothing.
Do remember this: Your passion gives you
Joy – Joy helps you acquire!
Learning
is therefore the right application of all your experiences with Information.
How well do you make use of Information?
Till some fresh series, I remain your
