1 And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

What an encouragement for me as I read this passage. I have never been an Evangelist, it is not my gifting. But as my Pastor reminded us a week ago, sharing the Gospel is the only reason God left us here on earth. As Paul reminds us here, he was not out trying to impress people with his knowledge, his suave words or his intelligence, He was living Christ! In fact according to vs 2 he knew nothing except Christ.
How do I make that part of my life? How can I be a diligent worker and only know Christ? I am sure there is some practical way the Spirit can change me...
Dependence on Christ for everything is the key. I will wait on God's perfect timing and allow Him to work through me to achieve His will. God is preparing me and/or using me to share the Gospel. I don't have wisdom, or persuasive words...BUT God doesn't need any of that to accomplish His will.
Are you being used by God for His glory? Are you standing in the way because you think you are "unprepared"? Allow God to use you so that those who believe are dependent solely on Christ, not you.
