Apollos, a scholar, orator and debater knows a lot about the Old Testament and Johns baptism, but lacks information about their fulfilment in Jesus Christ.
His ministry with Aquila and Priscilla enabled him to update his knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and become a powerful instrument in Gods hands.
We learn from Apollos that our knowledge of the Scripture will determine the level of our impact no matter how scholarly or eloquent we are.
And that ability to speak eloquently and win arguments will not yield much, if we lack the right kind of information or knowledge.
Don't settle for half knowledge of Jesus Christ; seek to have a complete knowledge of the basics of our salvation.
In Act 18:24-28
24:Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures.
25:He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.
26:He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27:And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed,
28:for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.
Aquila and Priscillas willingness to guide Apollos should be a lesson for us, in seeing the potentials in people and not just what they are not doing well.
We must seek to be facilitators of knowledge about Jesus Christ and not people who always blame people. In fact, we have no right to point fingers if we have not played a role in helping the person know the truth.
Prayer: Lord, help me to be a facilitator of ministry and not a fault finder.
