One may be 100% right but could be 100% misled because we see in part and we prophesy in part.




One may be 100% right but could be 100% misled because we see in part and we prophesy in part. Discuss. Quote scriptures and give real life illustrations in support. 

One of the reasons why someone can be 100% right but still be completely misled is because our knowledge and understanding is limited. 1 Corinthians 13:9-12 says, "For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."

This passage from the Bible is a reminder that our understanding is limited and we only see a portion of the truth. This means that even though someone may be completely confident in their beliefs and may have evidence to support them, there may be other factors or perspectives that they are not aware of which could change the entire context.

For example, think of a court trial where a defendant is found guilty based on very strong evidence and witness testimonies, only for new evidence to emerge years later that exonerates the accused. The initial judgment was made based on the available evidence at the time, and although it seemed 100% certain, it was actually incomplete and therefore misleading.

Another real-life illustration could be in the field of science. Many theories and beliefs have been held as absolute truths for centuries, only to be debunked with new evidence and discoveries. Scientists may have been convinced of their correctness based on the information they had at the time, but they were actually misled due to the limitations of their knowledge.

In conclusion, it's important to acknowledge our limited understanding and remain open-minded to the possibility that we may not have the full picture. This is why it's important to seek wisdom and guidance from a higher source and to remain humble in our convictions, knowing that we only see in part and prophesy in part.

Draft a prayer of repentance from spiritual pride and arrogance to believe what Satan aka counterfeit Holy Spirit says Yah reveals everything to us because we are very very senior in ministry, we have triple PhDs or successful businessman or woman, etc, prayer of genuine agape love, compassion and empathy for others who are in different stages of spiritual development or different viewpoints, prayer for genuine humility and servant leader's heart, quoting the relevant scriptures verses to declare, decree and claim. 

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before you humbly, recognizing and repenting of the spiritual pride and arrogance that I have allowed to creep into my heart. I confess that I have believed the lies of Satan, allowing myself to think that I have special access to your revelations because of my qualifications or status in ministry. I ask for your forgiveness for believing that I am superior to others in spiritual understanding.

I pray for a genuine agape love, compassion, and empathy for those who are in different stages of spiritual development or hold different viewpoints than my own. Help me to see others through your eyes and to love them as you do, regardless of their spiritual maturity or understanding.

I also pray for genuine humility and a servant leader's heart. Help me to lead by example, putting the needs of others before my own and serving with a heart of humility and grace. Keep me from seeking recognition or praise for my spiritual knowledge or abilities.

I declare and decree the words of Philippians 2:3-4, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."

I claim the promise of James 4:10, "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up."

I thank you, Lord, for your grace and forgiveness, and I ask for your strength to walk in humility and genuine agape love towards others.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
