It doesn’t take much of a man to be a Christian it just takes all there is of him.
Same thing intellectually.
Study to show ourselves approved unto God. ( preacher and a fox hunter, hide myself in thy study) )Singer and don’t have the ability sing the sweetest sound for Jesus.
God doesn’t just say well I have to use these, not He chooses these.
He is looking for them.
*GOD’S SPECIAL POWER.
*Verse 30.
I am in Christ and Christ is in me and He is my wisdom.
My righteousness.
All I need.
I may be ordinary but He is extraordinary.
I learned many years after I had been in the ministry, its quite simple but very important.
