“Arise therefore, go down and
go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
ACTS 10:20
The
success of the mission to Cornelius’ house had less to do with Peter’s
ability to speak and more to do with the audience’s ability to hear.
When we speak only to whom we are sent then we will see dramatic
results.
Trying
to speak to everyone in general and no one in particular is a colossal
waste of time and demonstrates poor stewardship. We ought not to give
ten coins to
someone who can only handle five, and we ought not to give five coins to
someone who cannot handle even one. It is clear that much time is
wasted trying to convince, persuade, plead, argue, teach, and help
people to whom God has not sent us. If we will wait for the Spirit of
God we will save ourselves a lot of time, effort and energy. A worker
who indiscriminately throws precious seed on rocky ground and gives
pearls to pigs is not being a wise, faithful, and profitable
servant.
