And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ (Acts 18:5).
In Acts chapter 18, Luke by the Spirit, gives us insight into the soul-winning strategy of the Apostle Paul. He arrived in Corinth and met Aquila and Priscilla, Jews who had just relocated from Italy. The Bible says they were tentmakers, and because Paul was of the same trade, he joined them and worked alongside them.
This wasn't a mere coincidence; it was a divine strategy. Paul used his trade as a connection pointhe found common ground with them. During the week, he worked. But every Sabbath, he went into the synagogue to reason with the Jews and the Greeks, persuading them concerning Christ. His tent-making served as a bridge into the lives of others, and from there, he introduced them to the Gospel.
Then something significant happened. When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was stirred, pressed in the spirit and immediately began testifying boldly that Jesus was the Christ. The atmosphere had changed. The presence of fellow labourers brought fresh fire and inspiration. The time for reasoning was over.
This shows us the power of spiritual companionship. When you're around others who are fervent in soul winning, it propels you to greater boldness. In the company of soul winners, the Spirit moves you. You receive strength and courage to proclaim the Gospel without fear.
Even Aquila and Priscilla, who initially received Paul as a tentmaker, were so impacted that later, they ministered to Apollos and helped him receive the Holy Ghost. What started as a business relationship became a platform for transformation and ministry.
Recognise that God strategically places you in certain environments for the sake of the Gospel. Be spiritually conscious of this truth and seize every opportunity to testify that Jesus is Lord. Let the excellence of your spirit shine through. You're not just a lawyer, banker, politician, medical doctor, a marketer or an athlete; you're a soul winner, sent from God! Your vocation is a platform for you to impact and transform the lives of those in your same line of work.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for strategically positioning me in my world to impact others with the Gospel. Im led by the Spirit to recognise and seize opportunities to transform lives, reshape destinies, and reveal your righteousness. The boldness of the Spirit is at work in me today, in Jesus Name. Amen.
