Act 20:1 After the uproar died down, Paul called together the believers and with words of encouragement said good-bye to them. Then he left and went on to Macedonia.
Act 20:2 He went through those regions and encouraged the people with many messages. Then he came to Achaia,
Paul’s work was mainly about words. He changed people’s lives with words. The gospel is shared with words. Words are what direct my thoughts in a certain direction. One thought inevitably leads to the next. This chain reaction can hugely impact my life and environment.
At one stage I was getting annoyed at Christians always going around, asking others who are known to hear from God: “Do you have a Word for me?”
Now I realize that, as immature as this may seem, they had grasped on to this truth. They had probably experienced how a word from God can link their future and their present, suddenly lighting up for them a way to go, paved with the motivation that comes from the expectation of success.
