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.

franchasng:
Pride & arrogance are your weakness!

Let go of pride and you will go very far, it is pride/arrogance that made you neglect and try to ridicule the good message from the poster.

Op @Toks2008, you are absolutely right.

May God help all willing and repentant people overcome their weaknesses and may He not judge us by our sins and weaknesses.

Great post

Uyi168:
..i know ur own weakness..

Toks2008:
It is still a weakness and there is still hope for him.

The big problem is that people see rigtheousness as a perfect way of life which is why many people are not coming to Christ.

But all you need to is to come to JESUS just as you are regardless of your addictions or weaknesses and he will not only accept you but help you live above them.

Many people think they can overcome weaknesses by their own power but no one can .

If you are truly willing to change, just call on the HOLY spirit of GOD and he will help you.

You don't have to give up your salvation cos the giver of salvation will never give up on you.

Toks2008:
Oh my you got me cracking big time...

Yeah I love beautiful boobs but I won't call it a weakness cos I don't go about pressing every beautiful boobs I see.

Funaki:
I've heard all these things before, countless times. I have preached them too. I have given my life to Christ again and again and again. But it's the same old me.

Divinerace:
mastubation-your-weakness?

SunnyskyTG:
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.
