RICK WARREN SPEAKS FROM THE USA, ON THE TOPIC, “GOD’S POWER IN YOUR WEAKNESS,” IT’S A SERIES STARTING TODAY.
As you read through today’s message excerpt, get ready to tap from Heaven’s abundant grace. Rick is loaded for you today! He is a writer, a teacher, a preacher and God’s vessel unto honour. Obey God’s instructions to everyone on earth today through Rick Warren.
We are weak yet by God’s power we will live with him to serve you (2nd Corinthians 13:4). I am with you; that is all you need. My power shows up best in weak people (2nd Corinthians 12:9). God loves to use weak people. Everyone has weaknesses. In fact you have a bundle of flaws or imperfections: physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. You may also have uncontrollable circumstances that weaken you such as financial or relational limitations.
The more important issue is what you do with these. Usually we deny our weaknesses, defend them, excuse them, hide them and resent them. This prevents God from using them the way he desires. God has a different perspective on your weaknesses. He says, “my thoughts and my ways are higher than yours,” so he often acts in ways that are the exact opposite of what we expect. We think that God only wants to use our strengths, but he also wants to use our weaknesses for his glory.
The bible says, “God purposely chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful (1st Corinthians 1:27). Your weaknesses are not an accident. God deliberately allowed them in your life for the purpose of demonstrating his power through you. God has never been impressed with strength or self-sufficiency. Infact, he is drawn to people who are weak and admit. Jesus regarded this recognition of our need as being “poor in spirit.” It’s the number one attitude he blesses.
The bible is filled with examples of how God loves to use imperfect, ordinary people to do extraordinary things in spite of their weaknesses. If God only used perfect people, nothing would ever get done, because none of us is flawless. That God uses imperfect people is encouraging news for all of us.
Now let us get to know what a weakness is. A weakness is any limitation that you inherited or have no power to change. It may be a physical limitation, like a handicap, a chronic illness, naturally low energy or disability. It may be an emotional limitation such as trauma scar, a hurtful memory, a personal quirk or a hereditary disposition. Or it may be a talent or intellectual limitation. We are not all super bright or talented.
When you think of the limitation in your life, you may be tempted to conclude, “God could never use me.” But God is never limited by our limitations. In fact, he enjoys putting his great power into ordinary containers. 2nd Corinthians 4:7 says, “we are like clay jars in which this treasure is stored. The real power comes from God and not from us. Like common pottery, we are fragile and flawed and break easily. But God will use us if we allow him to work through our weaknesses. For that to happen, we must follow the model of Paul.
There are so may things you need to do for God’s power to be made available to you in your weakness –admit your weakness, be content with your weakness, honestly share your weakness and glory in your weakness. Glory to God.
