WHEN GOD NEEDS YOU
*WISDOM FOR TODAY.*
*WHEN GOD NEEDS YOU.......*
*Scripture Treasure.*
Acts 9:13-15 *Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:*
*And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.*
*But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:*
*For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.*
*Insight and Highlight.*
When God needs you, no one can stop Him.
*Scripture Commentaries.*
When God needs to use you, there can be no strong, irresistible, and unrefutable reasons or evidence that can be used against you.
There are many strong, tenable, and legal reasons why people can not be considered for a position.
These reasons are, without any doubt, good enough to disqualify.
However, when God is ready to use you, nobody can change His mind.
This is a sovereign power unique to God only.
Even a person who knew the evil he had done could testify that he was the chiefest of all sinners, yet God chose him, Paul in 1 Tim 1:15. God did not listen to a good reason why a persecutors of the Church could be chosen by the Head of the Church, Acts 9:13-15.
Paul further writes in 1 Cor 15:9 *For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.*
First, this tells us that everyone is a potential vessel in the hands of God.
Second, it tells us that no matter how bad a person's pasts have been, God can use him/her.
It is beyond anyone how God reaches His decisions or choices, but one thing we know is that He sees things differently.
He knows the former things, the things that shall happen, and He is able to *".....know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come."* (Isaiah 41:2).
Are you hunted by your past?
Believe and trust in God.
He can erase your wrongful past.
Do not, however, become your own enemy. Just surrender to Him today!
*Remorse corner.*
Are you faced with strong reasons against your advancement in life?
*Call to Word action.*
God is challenging your adversaries, asking them to produce their strong reasons.
Isaiah 41:21 *Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.*
*The Christian clarion duty.*
When God needs you, every reason or evidence against you becomes nothing. God says your enemies are nothing and curses your enemies.
Isaiah 41:24 *Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.*
*Prayer.*
Lord, turn all my enemies' reasons or evidence against me to nothing in Jesus name.
Good morning, all, and be blessed as you go today.
God bless you.
