God doesn't call the qualified he qualifies the called


🎶My God is so big, so strong and so mighty,
There's nothing that he cannot do.
My God is so big, so strong and so mighty,
There's nothing that he cannot do.
The rivers are his, the mountains are his,
The stars are his handiwork too.
My God is so big, so strong and so mighty,
There's nothing that he cannot do.🎶
faith is a wonderful gift yet we as humans like to complicate it. Every day we put our faith in physical things such as buses and taxis, we have faith we will arrive where we need to be alive. we have faith in chairs, that they will hold our weight and not break. we have faith that God exists. (Hebrew 11:66 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.)
We have many examples of ordinary people through faith in the word of God doing extraordinary things. People such as moses, he had a stutter, he killed someone, even told God he had chosen the wrong person. Yet God used him for a rescue mission for the people of Israel. we also have noah, God told him rain was coming so he needed to build a boat. The flood didn't happen for 100 years. but through faith noah pressed on believing it would happen. we have David, he was small and the youngest which was kept to tend the sheep. He was only supposed to take his brothers their lunch but God used him to make a huge impact, Saul and all his men were all trained and equipped for battle but they were afraid to even attempt to fight against the Philistine giant. Whereas David a shepherd boy had faith in the God of all the universe, he knew God would have his back.The word of God is full of examples of God using ordinary people for his will and purpose. And they are there to give us encouragement so we can have confidence knowing that it doesn't matter how many qualifications we have, or where we stand in society, or how rich or poor we are. God doesn't look for people qualified to do his will, like the bible says we all fall short of his glory. (Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God). 
He looks at our hearts, he looks for those willing to surrender their whole beings to him and obey his will and command. Are you willing??

On this earth, where there is faith, fear is lurking around looking for someone to devour. Fear is another goliath in our lives. and it's a goliath that needs tearing down. The enemy will do whatever it takes to stop the will of God from happening. He'll scare you, remind you of your past, distracting you with train of thoughts that will stop you focusing on the task God has given you. He'll even use comfort to stop us or quite the opposite, being too busy. He has his share of tactics up his sleeve but what he hasn't got is victory. Victory was won through Jesus Christ when he died on the cross and rose to life three days later. Praise God. And because of this precious gift of the cross we can stand in faith knowing that all things are possible with God on our side (Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me) it doesn't matter how disqualified, how attractive/unattractive to society we are, or how we are financially nothing can stop us when God has a plan for our lives. The enemy just needs a reminder from time to time, of where he belongs and who has defeated him and his future in the abyss. Be encouraged you are more than a conqueror, you are a masterpiece who through Christ can and will if you let him work through you, achieve the impossible. Allow God to use you to make his glory known. The extraordinary things done in the bible can and will be done in modern day society. After all God is the same yesterday today and forever. His word doesn't say I was or I will be, God says I AM.  And I AM wants to/lives in you so nothing can stop you fulfilling his will. If God holds the entire universe in the palm of his hands, why should anything on the speck of dust in the universe scare you. 
I know it's easier said than done at times. And so does god. but please allow me to advise/encourage you, don't fight these battles in your own strength, your own understanding and independence as we won't get any where. Our God is bigger, our God is greater. Let him fight for you, our weapon of fighting is in prayer. The enemy knows he stands no chance once we hand it over to God. Becsuse God will fight for you. A wonderful example is Elisha and his servant.
2 Kings 6:17
Then Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes and let him see!" The LORD opened the young man's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.

God will equip you for his plan and purpose in your life. He won't let you be humiliated. And in every storm he'll never leave you. Be blessed and keep praying. I would love to pray for you, just leave your name God knows the rest. and I'll add you to my prayer list. please pray for me. Thanks in advance.

bible examples of God using ordinary people for his will...
  • David and Goliath 
1 Samuel 17: 32-50
32 David said to Saul, “Let no one lose hearton account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”
33 Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lionor a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, 35 I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.37 The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be withyou.”
38 Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. 39 David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them.
“I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off. 40 Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.
41 Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David. 42 He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him.43 He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!
45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin,but I come against you in the name of theLord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lordwill deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lordsaves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.

  • Moses
Exodus 4:10-15
10 Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”
11 The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? 12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”
13 But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.”
14 Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses and he said, “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you. 15 You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. 16 He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him. 17 But take this staff in your hand so you can perform the signs with it.”

Let's pray

Help me remember your son has already won the victory over our enemy. and that our lives are safe in your will. Forgive us for our sinful nature.
