1 Corinthians 2:1-5
“1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”
As with Moses in Exodus 4, Paul claimed to not be an eloquent speaker nor a highly intelligent man. This two giants among the saints were used greatly by God to lead his people in the time God appointed for them. Yet they both knew and were humbled by the fact that it was only by the grace of God that they were able to do what they did for the Lord in the ministry He gave unto them. Let us not forget from whom our speech and knowledge and wisdom comes from in those times when we are given the opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with a lost and dying world.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
