I’m talking about family matters. I say family matters because every person in the family of God has a responsibility to be a teacher. You ought to be a teacher. Even though everyone is not called with a special anointing of God to stand in the office of a teacher to the body of Christ, everybody ought to be a teacher. I’m going to express to you now: The whole purpose behind teaching is to form beliefs. That’s why teaching is so important. It forms – It helps people to have beliefs that are necessary for the person to receive from the Lord what the Lord wants to get to them.
In Mark 6:1, starting at the first verse, the bible says,
You see why was Jesus not able to help them as he wanted to help them? It was because of their unbelief. So what did he do when he recognized that they were in unbelief? He went around about their villages teaching. Now do you see, that the remedy for unbelief is teaching. But why did he go around about the villages teaching? To form the beliefs within the people that they would need in order for him to be able to heal them. Did they not lack certain beliefs that hindered him from healing them?
A
nd he marveled because of their unbelief. So, there was some unbelief in them that kept him from getting to them what he wanted them to have. So, did Jesus just leave them in that state? No. Jesus went around about the villages teaching to form the beliefs that they would need in order for them to be healed. In order for Jesus to help them. So do you see that the primary purpose for teaching is to form beliefs in people. So you see, every one of us in the family of God should be teachers. So, when you read the book of John you’ll find out that John revealed why he wrote the book.

And he said so that they might believe that Jesus is the Christ and that believing you might have life through his name. So see, John had specific beliefs that he’s trying to form within us. So after we read his book, he’s given us enough information to form within us beliefs that Jesus is the Christ and believing that we might have life through His name. So, we should be living deliberate lives because when Jesus was upon the Earth he lived a deliberate life.
He said, In John 20:21, that scripture says,
21Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
And that was repeated in John 17:18
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
So Jesus lived a deliberate life and he knew. He said, that the son of man came not to be minister to, but to minister and give his life to ransom for many. And we are sent in the world as Jesus is sent to the world – to live deliberate lives, to be influencers. Jesus is an influencer and we are sent into the world to be an influencer. You are an influencer, speaking to people, looking for people to share your faith with. Pass along what you have to others.
Galatians 6:1 says, Brethren if a man be overtaken within a fault, you which are spiritual restores such in one in the spirit of meekness considering yourself least you be tempted.
What that simply means is, when you encounter or see an individual who’s overtaken in one of these faults that’s mentioned in the bible, restore such a one. You just step into their lives, become involved in their lives on a regular basis. Become an influencer in their lives and restore them. Pass along to one another what you have learned so that that particular area of the brother’s life or the sister’s life can began to be governed by the Word of God and victory will happen in that area of that person’s life.
That’s how you fulfill the law of God. That’s how you live in the blessed state – by walking in love to the degree that you step in their lives. Become involved in their lives on a regular basis. Be an influencer in their lives and restore them. The scripture says that that’s how you fulfill the whole law. That’s Galatians the 6th chapter. And that’s how you bare one another’s burdens. Remove those burdens. Help remove burdens out of people’s lives and you have fulfilled the law of God. But you teach them, pass along what you have received to others.
