Podcast highlights:
- I recently attended a service at Divine House of Deliverance where Elder Daniel Gray is the pastor.
- The crux of Pastor’s outstanding message was how the Lord often chooses people who do not have money, status or connections.
- About five minutes in, the Lord gave me presence of mind to record the message to share it with all of you!
- Listen in and allow our amazing God to encourage your heart today!
KJV Scripture references
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
BCUFam, for some of us, this was “new” news, and for others, this was a timely reminder! In any case, God chooses who He wants without any of the world’s “qualifications” relating to perfection, status or money. And furthermore, He continues to use us to be a blessing to the kingdom and His people regardless of our flaws and imperfections—-whatever is in us that is not like Jesus, He will fix it along the way. All He wants is a willing heart and vessel fit for His use! Amen? Amen! Let’s pray!
Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank You for the encouraging words You have allowed our ears to hear today! Thank You for choosing us, not because of who we are, but in spite of who we are. We thank You for using and perfecting us as we surrender to You, so we can continue to be a blessing to the Body of Christ, a witness to all who interact with, and most of all, pleasing to You! In Jesus name, we pray, Amen!
