Think how much God power helps in the weakness

For he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God: so we also shall live with him in weakness, but in the power of God.

GOD LOVES TO USE WEAK PEOPLE
Everyone has weaknesses. indeed, you have deficiencies and weaknesses. It means physical, emotional, mental as well as, spiritual.

You may also have debilitating situations that you can’t control, such as financial problems and relationships. The most important issue is what you accomplish with these things.

We always deny, deny, excuse, hide, and regret our weaknesses. This prevents God from using them as He wants.

God sees your weaknesses differently. He says, As far as God is from the earth, so are my ways from your ways, and my thoughts from your thoughts.

So he always works in the opposite way we think. We think God uses only our strengths, but He wants to use our weaknesses for His glory.

The Bible says, But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

your weaknesses are not accidental. God intentionally let them be in your life. This is the purpose He has done to manifest His power in you.

God is not drawn to your strength or ability. surely he is near to the weak who bring their weakness to him.

Jesus calls this understanding of our weakness spiritual poverty. this is the first of the views he blesses.

The Bible is full of great examples of God using weak and imperfect people to do His work.

If God used only perfect people, there would be no work to be done, because we all have weaknesses. God’s use of weak people is good news for all of us.

The weaknesses that Paul calls warfare are not sins, nor are they behavioral problems that you can change, such as overeating and impatience. Weaknesses are any deficiencies you have that you cannot change.

It can be a disability such as a bust injury, a serious illness, a natural low energy level and a lack of function.

Like emotional problems, it can be a trauma from a past event, bad memories of the past, or an emotional problem inherited from a family.

or it may be a mental disorder or a mental disorder. not all of us have strong thinking skills.

When you think about the shortcomings of your life, you are tempted to conclude that God is not using me. But God is not limited by our shortcomings. Surely he delights in putting his mighty power in the weak.

The Bible says, Yet we who have this precious possession, as clay vessels, have the excellency of the power, not of ourselves, but of God.

Just as we are made of clay, we can easily break. but if we allow him to use our weaknesses, God will care for us. To do that, we need to follow Paul’s example.

Acknowledge your shortcomings and accept them. Instead of trying to appear perfect, take care of yourself. be faithful to yourself.

Instead of betraying your weaknesses or making excuses, take time to identify your personal weaknesses. You can list them.

Two major New Testament statements are very helpful for living a healthy life.

The first is Peter’s statement. He said to Jesus, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God. The second statement is Paul’s.

He says to the group of idol worshippers, Jera nana, what is this that you are doing? We are not Gods, but men like you.

We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.

If you want God to care about you, you need to know who God is as well as who you are.

Many Christians, especially leaders, forget the latter truth.

We are human, and if you find this hard to accept, God will surely bring you something that shows you that you are weak. Because he loves you.

Paul says, Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

At first this doesn’t make any sense. We don’t want to enjoy our weaknesses, we want to be free of them.

But rejoicing in it is an expression of our joy in God’s goodness. He says, I believe that God loves me and that you know what is good for me.

Paul gives us many reasons why we should rejoice in our natural labors. First they make us rely on God.

Quoting his own weaknesses which he refused to take from God, Paul says, therefore, for Christ’s sake I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in cases of need, in persecutions and difficulties, when I am weak.

Whenever you feel weak, God is reminding you to rely on Him.

Our weaknesses also protect us from pride. They make us live in humility.

Paul says, lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

God often ties our greatest weaknesses to our greatest strengths to create the right balance in our lives. Our shortcomings can be our controller so that we don’t run and go ahead of God.

When Gideon prepared 32,000 men to fight the Midianites, God reduced their numbers to 300 men. When they go out to fight a division of 135,000 enemy soldiers, one person represents 450 enemies.

They seemed to be in danger, but for the Israelites to see His power, God did that, it was not their own strength that saved them.

Our efforts also strengthen the unity among believers. While strength instills a spirit of independence, our weaknesses show us how much we need each other.

When we tie the threads of our weaknesses together, a strong rope is formed.

Vance Haviner puts it this way, Christians are as fragile as grains of sand.

When they come together, however, as the hail multiplies, they become more powerful.

Most importantly, our efforts show kindness to others and increase our effectiveness in the ministry. We are compassionate and concerned about the weaknesses of others.

God wants you to have a Christlike ministry on earth. That means other people will be healed by your wounds.

Your greatest life messages and your greatest services come from your deepest hurts.

The things you are afraid of, ashamed of, and do not want to share with others may be the things God uses to save others.

The great evangelist Hadser Yeyler said that all of God’s great men were weak. Moses’ weakness was his quick temper.

This caused him to kill the Egyptian, to speak to him, to strike the rock, and to break the ark of the covenant on which the Ten Commandments were written.

But God changed him into the most merciful man on earth. Gideon’s weakness was his self-contempt and fear, but God turned him into a strong and fearsome warrior.

Abraham’s weakness was fear, not once, but twice he said that his wife was his sister to save himself from fear.

But how God has transformed Abraham into a husband of faith. Peter, who was hasty and weak-minded, became a rock, David, a man like my heart, was called the work of the apostles, the work of the cockroach, John, who was one of the angry, became an apostle of love.

The list could go on and on. need I say more? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets;

These, by faith, conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained hope, and stopped the mouths of lions.

Others have extinguished the fire of propaganda, escaped the edge of the sword, gained strength in weakness, became valiant in battle and drove away foreign soldiers.

God knows how to turn human weakness into strength. He wants to take your greatest weakness and change it.

Service begins with expressing your weaknesses. The more you stop restraining yourself, take off the veil that covers you, and share your treatments with others, the more God will help you to serve others.

Paul set an example by expressing his weaknesses throughout his letters. He opened up and shared the following.

HIS FAILURES: I don’t do the good things I want to do, but I do the bad things I don’t want to do.

HIS FEELINGS: Our mouth is open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.

CONSEQUENCES: For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened beyond measure, so that we despaired even of life:

HIS FEAR: And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. Indeed, Transparency can be dangerous. It’s hard to be open and share your life with others.

When you talk about your failures, feelings, hurts, and fears, people may leave you alone. but the results will outweigh your abandonment. Expressing your weakness is emotional freedom.

Transparency will save you from depression, free you from fear, it is the first step in the walk to freedom.

We have seen that God gives grace to those who are humble, but many people do not understand what humility is.

Humility is not giving yourself a low position or denying your strengths, it is being faithful to your weaknesses.

The more faithful you are, the more grace you will receive. You can also receive grace from others.

Transparency matters a lot, we are naturally attracted to people with heads down.

Pretense keeps people away from us, honesty is attractive, and openness is the path to deep friendship.

That is why God chooses to use your weaknesses, not your strengths. If people see your strength empty, they will say in despair, well, she can do this, but I can’t do that.

But when they see that God is using you when you are weak, they think with encouragement, maybe God can use me too, our strengths create competition among us, but our weaknesses create socialization.

You have to stop at a point in your life and decide whether your desire is to impress people or to influence them with good work.

You can impress people at a distance, but to make a positive impact on them you have to get close, and when you do that they can see your weaknesses. That’s a good thing.

The most important skill for leadership is not perfection, but honesty. People will only follow you if they trust you.

How do you develop your loyalty? Not by trying to look perfect, but by being honest.

Instead of coming across as confident and fearless, count your head as a great grace achievement.

When Satan shows you your points of weakness, agree with them, thank Jesus, who understands all our weaknesses, and thank the Holy Spirit, who helps us in our weaknesses.

Sometimes, though, God uses us more to turn our strength into weakness.

Jacob was a hypocrite who was planning and fleeing the consequences of his plan. One evening God wrestled with him and said, I will not let you go unless you bless me.

god, he agreed, but the slimy flesh on his waist held tightly and made him faint. What is the significance of this? God touched Jacob’s strength and turned it to weakness. from that day on, Jacob could not run again because he was walking octopus.

Like it or not, it forced him to rely on God. If you want God to bless and grow and use you, you must go slowly in the rest of your life, Because God uses weak people.
