God uses ordinary people

For GOD no one is ordinary, he took time to make each one of us, so we are extraordinary. The world might call us Ordinary....or having a label of the ordinary that what opens a way for GOD to pick one of us and bring out something extraordinary.

God uses ordinary people


‘Remember…few of you were wise in the world’s eyes…when God called you.’
Max Lucado writes: ‘Edith Hayes was a spry eighty-year-old with thinning white hair, a wiry five-foot frame, and an unquenchable compassion for South Florida’s cancer patients. I was fresh out of seminary in 1979 and sitting in an office of unpacked boxes when she walked in and introduced herself. “My name is Edith, and I help cancer patients.” She extended her hand. I offered a chair. She politely declined. “Too busy. You’ll see my team here at the church building every Tuesday morning. You’re welcome to come, but if you do we’ll put you to work.” Her team, I came to learn, included a hundred or so silver-haired women who occupied themselves with the unglamorous concern of sore-seepage. They made cancer wounds their mission, stitching together truckloads of disposable pads each Tuesday, and then delivering them to patients throughout the week. Edith rented an alley apartment, lived on her late husband’s pension, wore glasses that magnified her pupils, and ducked applause like artillery fire.’ Edith’s story does away with the excuse, ‘I’m too old to do something for God.’ 
Noah was over six hundred years old when he came out of the ark and helped to start the human race all over again. If you’re older, think about it this way: you’re a walking repository of decades of wisdom and knowledge. So, before you leave this earth, endeavour to give to others what God has entrusted to you. Right now, somebody, somewhere, needs something you have, and if you ask God, He will show you who they are. When He does – get involved!

God’s undeserved kindness to you

If we see our past, none of us deserve the salvation, out of his magnificent kindness he has saved us and He has hand picked us. ‘I will surely show you kindness.’ 2 Samuel 9:7 In Bible times, when a new king ascended to the throne, he commonly killed or banished each and every member of the historical king’s family. So, here’s the story. Jonathan, King Saul’s son, and David, whom Saul hated, have been shut friends. So close, they made a covenant to guard one every other with their lives. After Jonathan and Saul died in battle, Jonathan had one last son known as Mephibosheth. So, David had him delivered to the palace, saying, ‘I will sincerely exhibit you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will repair to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will constantly consume at my table.’ Mephibosheth used to be dwelling in Lo Debar, which skill ‘the land of nothing…the region of no bread’ (see two Samuel 9:4-5). That’s significant, due to the fact when y...

The difference between Samson and Samuel

Everyone has a choice....to become Samson or Samuel!! ‘Time would fail me to tell of…Samson…and Samuel.’ Hebrews 11:32  Samson and Samuel are mentioned in the same Scripture, but there are big differences between them. You ask, ‘Why should I be interested?’ Because as a Christian, you are like them. Each had a miraculous birth, so they’re a picture of those who’ve been born again and called to serve God. Paul writes, ‘These things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition…Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall’ 1 Corinthians 10:11-12 . Difference one: Finances. Samson was greedy and manipulating, whereas Samuel practised integrity. One day Samson bet thirty Philistine princes that they couldn’t solve his riddle, saying, ‘If you cannot explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing’ Judges 14:13. Quite a wardrobe, eh? Samson’s emphasis was ‘you shall give me’. He’s an exampl...
