Do you think that you’re inadequate to serve God? Do you think that your weaknesses are the reason not to do ministry? Take a good look of the list of greatest bible characters along with their weaknesses.
Abraham was a coward. He would lie and sacrifice his wife to save his life. He also didn't believe that The Lord will give him a son.
Moses felt inadequate and lack of self confidence.
Elijah was a man of incompetence. He was basically a nobody. He was a bumpkin-unkempt, unpolished, uneducated, and unaccustomed to the manners and ways of the court.
Gideon described himself as the "least" in his household, meaning small and unimportant
Jeremiah was a young, weak, and immature boy when God called him
Amos was a "gatherer of sycamore fruit." This man was a fruit picker and sheep herdsman from a wilderness area. This man was a total "hick," a country, uneducated man with a complete lack of etiquette that existed in the city of Bethel.
Paul was a Christians slayer. He even participated in the stoning of Stephen.
Peter was a fisherman, who lied and denied Christ at the most critical moment.
King David commits adultery and murder.
And the list goes on…and now it goes back to you...what are your reasons ?
- you think you can't talk well in public
- you think you don't have what it takes
- you think you're not talented enough
- you're not spiritually mature
- you're not a fun person to be with
God uses the weak to show His Glory, and the most important thing is what God promised them. “I will be with you” As long as God is with you, nothing is impossible. Moses led Israel out to the desert, Gideon won many battles, Elijah became the greatest prophet ever recorded, Paul became the most prolific apostle, and so on.
God never backs down on a promise. He will NEVER fail you. As long as He is with you, there’s nothing stopping you from doing great things for God. Ask and believe for enlargement of your territory and you shall receive. God bless you friends.
