A postman is employed to deliver a message to pre-appointed people. He is tasked to take the message whose name appears on the envelope or package. The message is not from the postman. It is from the sender. The lifestyle, attitude, obedience, faith, or righteousness of the receiver is not the postman’s concern. The job of the postman is to deliver the message. The postman must not be careless and leave his realm of authority by judging the receiver or sending a letter that is beyond what the sender is sending. Moreover, it is the postman’s responsibility to deliver the message on time and not cause any delay to the receipt of the message. Moreover, the postman must not deliver the message to the wrong person.

In the same way, the believer with the gift of words of knowledge must recognize that the sender is God. The Holy Spirit employed these believers to deliver the message to a certain person. Thus, the message is not theirs. The believers are just the delivery person. There is a need to be under the authority and prompting of the Holy Spirit and to do just as the He asks, no more and no less. In this way, the message (Word of Knowledge) is sent to the right person at the right time. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, the source of knowledge (John 14:15-17; John 15:26; John 16:13-15).
