I Corinthians 1:27 (KJV)
“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;”
I believe we are moving into a time here on the earth where we are going to experience the power of God move like never before and see the Kingdom of God operating at a level that has never before been witnessed by the world. In order for this shift to take place, we the saints need to do our part. The Church to God is like a wife to her husband, the help meet.
God put the above scripture on my heart, and I began to think on it and meditate it. What I discovered is that one of the greatest ways that God sets himself apart from the world is by doing things that can only be attributed to him. As many of you know my wife and I were recently married earlier in the year only after meeting and knowing each other for a month and a half. To the world that decision was looked at as being foolish, but we know that God has not lead us astray when he gave us the charge to get married. Since we’ve been married we are experiencing the power of God like never before.
See, every time God gives you an instruction to carry out that you can’t comprehend with your intellectual mind and may seem foolish to world, he is actually trusting in you so much that he is giving you the responsibility of sanctifying his Kingdom in front of the world. I don’t know about you but I feel honored that God would give me such a task, that he trusts me and believes in me so much that he would give me such a responsibility.
If you study the stories in the Bible you will see that this happens over and over again.
II Kings 5- Elisha instructs Naaman to go and dip himself seven times in the Jordan river and he will be cleansed of his leprosy. To the world this was foolish, and in fact Naaman was wroth and went away. He thought that Elisha should of came out and laid hands on him or at least have him go to a better river to dip himself in, Jordan being the “weaker” river. Naaman was convinced to follow the instruction of the prophet and dipping himself seven times in the Jordan river, he came out with the skin of a little child, flawless of age and disease. Through this experience God was sanctified in the hearts of the men who witnessed this miracle.
Joshua 6:2-5: God tells Joshua that he has given him the land of Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. God instructs them to march around the walls, once a day for six days and on the seventh day march around the walls seven times and on the seventh time when the priests blow the trumpets, “Shout; For the Lord hath given you the city.”
When these instructions were followed the walls of Jericho fell flat. To the world this was a foolish thing, but God was sanctifying himself.
When we receive instruction from God and know it’s from God, it is not our position to try and figure it out for our own comforts. No matter what he tells you to do just do it, he will not lead you astray, He has your best interests at heart. When you begin to step out on faith and do exactly what you’re instructed to do your level of faith increases and your trust in God becomes a fortified wall that can withstand any blow from the enemy.
I pray that this has been a blessing in your life.
