2 Corinthians 11:6; Throughly Made Manifest Among You in All Things

2 Corinthians 11:6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.

Though the Apostle Paul might have spoken like an unskilled or ungifted person, rude in speech, he has a most important message to convey for the sake of the souls that God has brought before him. He has a message to tell for his Lord and he will not stay to withhold it.

Likewise, the prophet Jeremiah was rejected by the people of Judah though he spoke the word of the Lord, an unpalatable exhortation for the people of God to submit to the yoke of the coming Babylonians. He spoke of the Word of God as a burning fire shut up in his bones that he must convey for his conscience sake because it was the will of God –  Jeremiah 20:9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his wordwas in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

In fact, the Apostle Paul stayed an initial one year and six months to share God’s Word to preach the gospel and the build up the faith of the new berlivers in Corinth – Acts 18:9-11 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. And he continued therea year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. The courage for service came from his Lord who assured him His presence and power to fulfil the work of the gospel in that city. He was not about to let the enemies of the gospel thwart and undermine the foundation of God’s Word laid for Christ’s church.

Ready to speak, ready to think,

Ready with heart and mind;

Ready to stamd where He sees fit,

Ready His will to find.

Amen.
