In a most enlightening lesson, Brother Singh draws from Paul's epistle to the Ephesians to demonstrate God's process in the lives of the elect When we read Paul's epistles, we seldom consider the timeline of the apostle's ministry and the process he had to endure. From Paul's conversion until his death was about 28-30 years. It is not obvious that nearly half that time (14 years) was spent in isolation.  Paul was far too impetuous to be an effective preacher. After two near-disastrous attempts to preach the gospel, he was banned to his hometown of Tarsus, where he worked as a tentmaker. That "cooling off" period was necessary to take the Pharisee out of Paul and develop the Spirit of Christ in him. The spirit of a man called by God is far more crucial than his education, training, or his intelligence. God must empty his vessels before He can use them.
