He did not need extra training ( 2 Timothy 2 v 15)

 Early on Spurgeons ministry,which was greatly blessed,a man called Joseph Millan a principal of a well known theological college, thought it would be helpful if Spurgeon had some formal training.So an appointment was made to meet at a certain date,in the home of a Mr Millan.when Spurgeon arrived at the appointed time,he was shown into the drawing room.Angus when he arrived was placed in the parlor; neither were informed by the receiving maid of the others presence.The result was,Angus in the end had to leave to catch a train back to London,the interview never took place'.Later on Spurgeon  while he was out walking,he tells us that God spoke to him,when he heard these words,'Seekest thou great things for thyself seek them not'. That decided him to not go for extra training.Most of those going into Christian work need training.but not everybody. Later on when he was an establish minister, he opened what became known as  Spurgeons collage to train young men for the ministry.
