And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. Exodus 4:10

This is what we all say. We think more of the words than of the message; more of our eloquence or slowness of speech than of the King’s seal and signature. Moses had learned many wholesome lessons through his long sojourn in Midian; but he had to learn this last one, that God does not want excellency of speech or of language in His messengers, but the unction and power which come on those who speak after a direct audience with the Eternal. Aaron, who came to meet Moses, could speak well; but he was a weak man, whose alliance with Moses caused his nobler younger brother much anxiety and pain. However, God determined to send Aaron with him, to be his colleague and spokesman. Better a thousand times had it been for Moses to trust God for speech than be thus deposed of his premiership.

Be sure to gel thy message from the King. – Wait before Him in the inner shrine, in the Inner Court where all the Mystical powers and energy are stored till He says the word which thou shalt speak. This will give thee the real eloquence of the heart. It is not how you can speak but the message that you will deliver to the people. “THUS SAITH THE LORD.”

Lookup for the right words. – The Apostle said that the Corinthians were enriched in all utterance; and he said that he spoke the Divine mysteries in words which the Holy Spirit taught. Ask for these, and you will not be disappointed. Paul should be your example and you should take some guidance from him when it comes to speaking the things of God. You so not say words because you heard them but because they were spoken to you through divine utterance.

Rely on Divine cooperation. – There is another force at work, more subtle and penetrating than the most eloquent words of man – the power of the Holy Ghost. Seek for His Divine demonstration and co-witness. And it shall come to pass, that mysterious influences shall move over the hearts of those that listen to thy words, which shall attest the mighty fellowship and cooperation of One whom the natural man cannot detect.

My sheep know my voice and a stranger they will not follow and how fitting are these words. We need the help of the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth. Here the Lord has to shut you up before you can receive His truths. In other words, He has to empty you of all earthly lusts, bad-behaviour, malice, anger, hatred, jealousy and anything that is not of God. That is the only way that God will be able to use you for His honour and glory. Pray Almighty God will grant us the spirit of truth so we speak only the things of God.
