Humbled, Yielded and
Prayerful - From Saul to Paul
The Pharisee Saul Transformed into the Apostle Paul
(Acts 9:1-22)
God chose Rabbi Saul and transformed
him into the man - the Apostle Paul. Working in and through Paul by
His Holy Spirit, the Lord raised him up to become the greatest
preacher and missionary of all time, second only to Jesus Christ.
In a day and age when pride, open sin, and selfishness are
glorified as virtues, this message goes against the grain and
extols humility, yieldedness, and prayerfulness before God.
“But the Lord said unto him [Ananias], Go thy way: for he
[Saul] is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the
Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: For I will shew
him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.” (Acts
9:15-16)
1. Pride versus humility (Acts 9:1-9)
2. Humbled and prayerful (Acts 9:10-16)
3. The Power of the Spirit of God (Acts
9:17-22)
