I know it's been a while (forever right). Oh well, I have been busy with school, work and life in general.
Anyways, most people (especially those in the States know that Thursday Night is Scandal time). It is usually a day of the week that I am always looking forward to...(hmm) May God have mercy on me. So, this night I choose not to watch Scandal. I feel I need me, myself and God time (which has not been constant recently apart from my regular 1hr I spent for my devotion everyday in the morning).
I was on YouTube earlier and I came across a video message by Paul Washer titled: "Your Weakness should drive you to God" Here is the link Your Weakness should drive you to God. In my opinion, the perfect message to listen to at this time. Below is my summary from the message and I am trusting God that the Holy Spirit will minister to you:
- "Our problem is not that we are weak but the problem is that we don’t recognize our weakness"
- Weakness should be something that drives or draws you closer to God. When you recognize your weakness, you are to be driven to God because you know He is your only source of strength. God is your helper who has unlimited resources to help you overcome your weaknesses.
- Going back to God for forgiveness after you have sinned is the best way to go. One is showing a form of dependence on God. However, this doesn't mean we are allowed to go our different way to sin because we know God will forgive us our sins, NO!.
- No wonder God told Paul in 2 Corinthians 12: 9; AMP [But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!] when Paul was faced with those trial & He asked God to help.
- Everyone is weak, no one can follow the rules in the Bible by their own power. We receive our strength only in God. Philippians 4:13; AMP (I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency.
I thought it will be nice to share this with you'all. Thank you all for reading and see you next time.
Have a great weekend!
Stay Blessed
