Fiber with the flower 

“…when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of god more accurately.” – Acts 18:26 

When I was doing my first-year course in Polytechnic, I used to amaze at the magnetic personality of my then lecturer in Physics. I was impressed by his different traits and manners such as self-discipline, self-assurance, his teaching with flair and kind and firm disposition that refined us on the whole. We used to await anxiously his morning assembly turn to listen to his eloquent speech. In a commanding voice he gave his advice citing a verse in Proverbs. Most of my batchmates had special attachment to him. In this way he had made an impact on every student. In our one-year journey with him, we acquired many good qualities. He was so influential that we took him as our role model and made a resolution to lead an exemplary life.

In the 18th chapter of the book of Acts we read that Paul went to Corinth and he found a certain Jew named Aquila from Italy and his wife Priscilla. He stayed with them and worked. They were tent makers by occupation. Paul’s stay with them was beneficial and a great blessing to them. Aquila and Priscilla were greatly influenced by Paul’s vision and mission, his zeal, his reasoning with the Jews and his wanderings and different journeys. They were revived and reinvigorated spiritually by being with Paul. Subsequently, ordinary couple could more accurately explain the way of God to Apollos, who was mighty in the Scriptures and fervent in spirit.

Dear friends, have we made and refined anyone at our work place or in our place of study and ministry? Do we live an exemplary life? Have our fellow men grown in godliness? Have we made disciples of Jesus? Like the fiber that holds the flower gets the fragrance of the flower, have the people who are with us got such experience?
