WEAKNESS
And He said to me, “My grace is
sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore
most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may
rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in
needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak,
then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NKJV
I have learnt that God uses
weak people; He uses people who sometimes don't even qualify to be used by Him.
We see God took Apostles of Jesus Christ who were normal people without even
having any religious background and made them great men in the Church.
Many people who are used by
God are not perfect as sometimes people think they are. They struggle with many
things just like all of us. They have to fight against sin, fast and pray that
they may not fail into temptations. Although they encourage others to stand
with God and walk in the will of the Father; they still have their own
struggles. They still need to live what they are preaching that they may not be
rejected by the Lord who sent them.
Paul the Apostle had what he
calls the throne in the flesh. He has a certain weakness that he kept of asking
God three times that He take that weakness away from him. The Lord answered Him
by saying, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made
perfect in weakness.” God knew that Paul was weak but He still used him and
gave him the grace to endure.
This morning, I want you to
know that only when you are weak is where everything be done completely by His
power. God has allowed that weakness that you may get a reason to go back to
Him and ask for more grace that you may get the strength to overcome.
Maybe if there would be no
weakness in your life; you would be so proud in such away you would deny the
help of God. Weaknesses remind us that we are still human and God is still God
and perfect in all of His ways. Weaknesses remind us that we need God and
without Him we cannot please Him; because our weak nature of sin won't allow
us. Allow God to move in you through you weakness, every time you find yourself
weak; ask God through the power of His Spirit to cover you.
