Don't Be Deceived, Everyone Has A Weakness by Toks2008(op): 8:41pm On Apr 06, 2019
DON'T BE DECEIVED,...EVERYONE HAS A WEAKNESS.

I have great passion for Jesus and i enjoy preaching about salvation to the world but nevertheless,as human,i have my area of weakness and i pray and strive everyday to get better with the help of the holy spirit.

The mistake many people make is that they jusxtapose the standard of righteousness with the lifestyle of their Pastors but the shocker is that no matter how anointed anybody can be, there is usually an area of weakness but the good news is that GOD is not looking for a perfect human but all he wants is a humble and willing heart.This is the only qualification GOD wants from us.

Now lets take a long look at the weaknesses of great men and women that were used by GOD....

Adam, the first man, was a blame shifter who couldn’t resist peer pressure. (Genesis 3:12)

Noah, the last righteous man on earth at the time, was a drunk who slept in the nude. (Genesis 9:20-21)

Abraham, the forefather of faith, let other men walk off with his wife on two different occasions. (Genesis 12 and 20)

Sarah, the most gorgeous woman by popular opinion, let her husband sleep with another woman and then hated her for it. (Genesis 16)

Lot, who lost his father early in life, had a serious problem with choosing the wrong company. (Genesis 18-20)

Job, supposedly a contemporary of Abraham and the epitome of faith, was a man of great fear.(Job 3:25)

Jacob, who out-wrestled God, was pretty much a pathological deceiver. (Genesis 25, 27, 30)

Rachel, who wrote the book on love at first sight, was a nomadic kleptomaniac. (Genesis 31:19)

Moses, the humblest man on the face of the earth (Numbers 12:13), had a very serious problem with his temper. (Exodus 2, 32:19; Numbers 20:11)

Aaron, who watched Jehovah triumph over Pharaoh, formed an abominable idol during an apparent episode of attention deficit disorder or perhaps colossal amnesia. (Exodus 32)

Elijah who GOD used powerfully was scared of one woman even shortly after slaying about 500 prophets of Baal.1 Kings 18,19.

Miriam, the songwriter, had sibling jealousy and a greed for power. (Numbers 12)

Samson was hard-headed and arrogant.

Eli, who ruled over Israel, was a hopelessly incapable father who lost his sons to immorality—and to an untimely death. (1 Samuel 2, 4)

Saul, the first and powerful king of Israel, was apparently a psychotic with manic bursts of anger, episodes of deep depression and traces of paranoia, too. He committed suicide. (1 Samuel 16, 18, 19, 31)

David, the friend of God, concealed his adultery with a murder. (2 Samuel 11)

Once called Simon, Peter was one of Jesus' disciples who would later on become one of the apostles of the early church. Peter wasn't always bold, but he was always impulsive and often acted before thinking.

Solomon, the wisest man in the world, was arguably the world’s greatest sex addict with 1,000 sexual partners. (1 Kings 11)

The prophets, even as they spoke for God, struggled with impurity, depression, unfaithful spouses and broken families.

*What is the point?*

Your weakness may be an uncomely behaviour or addiction of any kind but stop condemning yourself because of your weakness and don't feel comfy with it less you become a slave to it but never allow the devil condemn you.

Come to GOD the way you are and BE WILLING TO overcome your weakness with the help of the holy spirit.

This is what makes us true believers in Christ.

Whatever it may be. God will never ever give up on you so don't give up on Yourself.

John 6:37
All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.

Re: Don't Be Deceived, Everyone Has A Weakness by Nobody: 6:37pm On Apr 07, 2019
Yeah! You're right.

One of my greatest Weakness is to know what Jesus Christ was doing for 18years after he disappeared at age 12 and then reappear by age 30 according to Biblical records.

What was Jesus doing for 18years? Was He chilling out with friends or what? I need to know.
