Acts 18:23-28 Are You an Eloquent Man?

Acts 18:23-28 Are You an Eloquent Man?
Third Missionary Journey

      23And having spent some time there, he left and passed successively through the Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

      24Now a Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the Scriptures. 25This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with the baptism of John; 26and he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. 27And when he wanted to go across to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace, 28for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.


When I speak of man I am referring to mankind consisting of both male and female. I ask, are you a eloquent man? Has God given you the gift of speech? Do you remember whom Jesus uses? He uses the weak to confound the strong. I envision Samson not as movies portrayed him but as a 110 pound weakling. Remember David and Goliath? I see David as a young teenager conquering the biggest man in the bible. And what about Peter? He stuttered and always inserted his foot in his mouth! But God used him mightily.

Which brings me to you! You say God can't use me? I don't have the gift of speech! Where is your faith Christian? Does not God use the weak?

Pray that the Holy Spirit gives you the words to speak and stand back and watch them flow! You will wonder; Where did that come from?
So I ask again; Are you an eloquent man?

May you be mighty in the scriptures, may you be properly instructed in the way of the Lord. May you speak and teach accurately the things concerning Jesus! And if not, may someone take you aside and explain the way of God more accurately. But most of all don't be afraid to speak out about Jesus as He is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). After all, it took years for Peter and Paul to become eloquent concerning the things about Jesus!
So I ask one final time; Are you an eloquent man?

Blessings David
