I relate to Apostle Paul, and his statement is also true in my life at such a time like this: “For this cause I Paul( Ev. Eric Musa), the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles.” (EPHESIANS 3:1). The apostle Paul was a man of purpose. He understood who he was in Christ and he knew his role in God’s plan for the Church. Much can be said about him, but I believe it is important to know three things about his former life, as Saul of Tarsus, which formed his character and ultimately produced a life which graphically and dynamically expressed complete surrender to Jesus Christ—the epitome of worship.
First, Saul of Tarsus was an extremely intelligent man. He had the ability and intellect to readily adapt himself to whatever audience he happened to be addressing or company he was keeping. He knew enough about the Greek culture to preach effectively to the Greeks. As a Roman citizen, he was thoroughly familiar with the Roman way of life. Yet he knew the Scriptures inside and out and could talk at ease on any scriptural matter with the Jews. He was affluent, influential, well-known, and highly respected by all of the scholars and theologians of his day—until he became Paul, the Christian!
You must understand that the Gentile intellectuals and highly religious Jews of that time considered Christians insane: I must confess this is normally the case in the 21st Century: amazing! Glory be to God. After all, they believed in a God who had become a man, died, and then risen from the dead. They believed in a Messiah whom most of Israel had rejected. It was acceptable for a rough, superstitious fisherman like Peter to preach Christ, but not Paul( Ev. Eric Musa) the scholar! Christianity was associated with those who were unlearned and not very religious.
WONDERFUL GOD WE SERVE. SELAH.
Evangelist Eric Musa:
(My message continuously: If you are not saved: Believe, accept, receive and confess Christ Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and be filled with the Holy Spirit, as it is written; “NOW is the acceptable time, TODAY is the day of SALVATION.- 2 Cor 6:2”.
