Proverbs 24:4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
Ecclesiastes 8:1 Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
For the engine of learning to begin to turn, there must be a fire built in the furnace of inspiration. It is this furnace that fuels, and drives and motivates the student to gain or acquire knowledge and truth.
Part of the inspirational process involves the students understanding why something is important. The instructor cannot fail to remember that people tend to give time to that which they feel is important. We spend our money on that which we think is impotent. Therefore, we need to inspire the student to grasp the importance of the subject , principle or truth being taught.
The preaching of the Word of God is the easiest venue through which inspiration may occur. Biblical principles are principles that are eternal. They secure life change. It is up to the instructor to allow these truths to captivate, change and redirect the heart of the student.
It also must be clearly stated that if the student does not thinks these principles are important the teacher, he certainly will not place value on them. This is where personal testimonies of what these truths have meant or done in our lives will help to show value to the listener.
It is more difficult to inspire students in secular subject, but showing the practicality of a certain subject will inspire them to learn the subject at hand. In the field of history, there are facts considered general knowledge. In the field of business, there are issues of budgeting, investing and comprehension of what compounded interest can do either for or against a person. In the area of science, explanations can be given to show a person the hand of God and the order which He has created the world. Seek to inspire your students to learn in every aspect of their education.
