YOU ARE NOT WEAK

June 4, 2014

There was this woman who was so fat that fat people called her “Fat Mama.” To go to the gym was a problem as she said she couldn’t run at all.  One fateful day, while sitting down in her shop, she just saw other shop owners running away, when she asked what was going on, she learnt armed robbers were raiding. Before you could say the word OMG, she was seen running like a cheetah. The following day, she was asked how she was able to run that fast, she said, “I wasn’t ready to die.”

When the angel told Gideon, “Thou mighty man of valor,” in Jdg 6:12, Gideon thought about his family background and his own strength and wondered why he would be called such a name, but God wasn’t referring to the physical strength of Gideon but the strength that would be made available for him through God. 2 Cor 12:9 says, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” The truth is that there is strength on the inside of you. There is no mountain too high for you to climb. There is no land too big for you dwell and possess.

Have you ever felt not strong enough to achieve something? The reason why we feel we are weak is because we so much trust our strengths. Forget about your strength. Your strength is limited. 1Sam 2:9b says, “For by strength shall no man prevail.” In order words, if you think you are strong enough to go it alone, you are on your own. It is foolishness to go to battle with machetes when you have a father that has machine gun and who is ready to go battle on your behalf. Let your motto be I can do all things through Christ my strength.

Sir/ma, you are not weak because greater, stronger, mightier, bigger is HE that dwells on the inside of you than he that dwells in the world.
