God has chosen and is choosing men that He will use in the SAME way that He used an outsider like Paul. It comes through a powerful conversion and a powerful infilling of the Holy Spirit. You see how powerfully God chose to use someone outside the original Twelve! THIS IS A KEY TO US TODAY: God in THIS generation is still choosing men and women to anoint them with the Holy Spirit to be like Paul and reach the world for Christ! In my own opinion from reading Acts, it was not Matthias that God chose. I believe it was to be Paul.
'Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
'So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.” Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.' (Acts 1.21-26, NIV)
