Some said that Paul’s speaking amounted to nothing. Greece was known for its eloquent and persuasive orators. Evidently, some were judging Paul by comparing him to other speakers they had heard, and Paul was perhaps not the most powerful speaker. But Paul responded obediently to God’s call and thus introduced Christianity to the Roman empire. Many people believe the misconception that the ability to preach is a prerequisite of a great leader. We look at great leaders such as Moses who before starting the ministry argued with God about speaking with Pharaoh. After God worked in his heart, it came to a point that Aaron did not have to speak any longer, and Moses spoke boldly without the slightest fear of death. This is the power of God.

2 Corinthians 10:10
For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing.”
