"I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power."
1 CORINTHIANS 2:3-5
It is through my words I must speak with clarity and simplicity as to easily relay the message of the Gospel. For me to stand and be boastful while speaking or to use fancy words is not to lead. It is to show off. Through actions and words of the Holy Spirit - people will be drawn - for God is love. Teaching is love and things of love are from God. Jesus is the God of ultimate Love. I will honor his life with mine.
The personality of the teacher in Christ is not relevant for the message. It is the simplicity of the message of Jesus Christ that is the miracle and the willingness to speak as the Holy Spirit directs. An apostle has no other will in them other then will of Christ. It is God himself that does his own teaching through the Holy Spirit - he uses people (his creation) as his messengers.
