New Testament Missionaries: Paul
JULY 8, 2023
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory.
1 Corinthians 2:7
Recommended Reading: 1 Corinthians 2:6-12
In her book, Journey to Confidence, Kimberly Sowell suggests we BOW before God and pray, asking Him to make us His witnesses. She suggests using the word BOW as a reminder to plead for these three things: Boldness, Opportunity, and Words of Wisdom.1
The apostle Paul took advantage of all three divine provisions. God gave him boldness at crucial times, such as during his ministry in Ephesus, where “he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God” (Acts 19:8). He found opportunities everywhere to preach both through word and life, as he said in Galatians 6:10: “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all.” And he spoke words of wisdom: “Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24).
To be a better witness, which of those three do you most need? Let’s BOW and ask for aid.
Would you be so adventurous as to not only be open to witness for Christ, but to petition Almighty God to grant you witnessing opportunities?
