Who has the right interpretation of The Word of God?

John 14:26
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Today, there are many Bible Scholars, who have studied the Holy Bible for years at Bible Schools and Bible Universities around the world.

However, when we look at the people whom God used to write His Word in the Bible, they all are ordinary, simple people, starting from Moses in the Old Testament to St. John in the New Testament. But, in order to understand what they have written, the present generation is going to schools and universities.

I never say learning the Word of God in a bible school or university is not right, but it is not the ultimate path to the perfect understanding of the Word of God.

The present teaching systems of the Word of God in such schools and universities have fully taken the job of the Holy Spirit. As a result, today many Christians are made to think that as individuals, they have no more revelations to receive from God through the Holy Spirit. This culture has ruined the kind of prayer life the earlier people of God had, through which they as individuals received such revelations. Today, even children learn the Word of God as they learn other subjects such as Science, Social Studies and so on.
Luke 24:44-45
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

The above scripture reveals how Jesus opened the understanding of His disciples to the scriptures in the Old Testament while He was quoting such scriptures in His conversation with them.
Even today, God reveals His Word to those who spend quality times in His presence. Learning the Word of God from the Holy Spirit is very simple, very comfortable and very accurate. The opening scripture shows two jobs of the Holy Spirit if we seek His support to learn the Word of God.

1. The Holy Spirit teaches us all things in the Word of God
2. The Holy Spirit brings everything that He teaches us to our remembrance as and when we need them in our daily walk with the Lord.

It is the Holy Spirit, who has the most accurate interpretation of the Scripture. He will reveal it to those, who depends on Him.

Every day, before we open our Bible to read the Word of God, let's make a small prayer in Jesus Name, on our knees
while lifting the Bible toward heaven. In this prayer, let's commit what we are gong to read, to God the father and ask the Holy Spirit to open our understanding to the scriptures and bring whatever we learn to our remembrance whenever we need them in our life.
