From our last post we read that all of us are born with certain dispositions that needs to be dealt with. In this post I would like us to look at a disposition of weakness.
Some people are too weak so much that they are afraid of any responsibilities. They always believe that they should be in the shadow and not come out and take care of a certain duty placed in their hands.
Not because they are incompetent but simply because they mistake being humble with their weakness of always accepting the rest and not the best. I remember I used to be like that and this I carried with me even when I started doing the work of God and it was a big problem because I was never confident enough to take care of certain responsibilities in the church.
I would have certain people that I would give counseling to and those that I would pray for. I would really be in trouble when someone who is older and more mature approaches me for counseling. It was really bad because I did not only fail help the people but I failed to help myself too.
As mentioned earlier, it is not because a person is incompetent or unable to fulfill certain tasks but it is merely because a person's weakness has overpowered him so much that he can't even see his own authority given by The Lord Jesus to him.
Now therefore, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and afraid, let him turn and depart at once from Mount Gilead.’” And twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained. Judges 7:3
We see that God did not use the weak/ cowards. He is A God of the brave hearted ones - those who are ready for war at all times.
Let us deal with this disposition of weakness so that The Lord can use us without any interruptions.
Stay Blessed!
