Even at My Worst – Rom. 8:29 – The Blessings of Inadequacy

 

This is Namma for Christ with the two hundred second inspirational message dated Wednesday, September 29th, 2021. The title of this message is “Even at My Worst – Rom. 8:29 – The Blessings of Inadequacy”.

The first four words of this message’s title are also the words of the title of the below inspirational song/video (with lyrics), “Even at My Worst” as sung by Christian artist “Blanca”.  The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the New Testament book of Romans - the twenty-ninth verse of the eighth chapter:

Romans 8:29

New King James Version - (NKJV)

 

29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Please also see 2^nd Corinthians 3:18 - on how “we” as believers are being “conformed” or “transformed” into the image of Christ - more and more – as we live for HIM!

2^nd Corinthians 3:18

New Living Translation - (NLT)

 

18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

 

Many people have heard the below “sayings” before:

God doesn’t call the “qualified” – He “QUALIFIES – THE CALLED!” 

or

God doesn’t call the “equipped” – He

“EQUIPS – THE CALLED!”

 

God equips (or qualifies) His people for His work! He will give you the ability to do His will – if you seek Him to do it!

The definition of “equip” is – “to supply with the necessary items for a particular purpose”. Our God - Our Creator – knows “us” better than anyone (even our parents) – if we “seek Him first” – as Matthew 6:33 states – God will supply all that we need:

 

Matthew 6:33

New King James Version - (NKJV)

 

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Also, see Philippians 4:19 –

Philippians 4:19

New King James Version - (NKJV)

 

19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

As the title of the below message states –

There ARE “Blessings” of being “INADEQUATE”! (Please read the below message to know those blessings – that are listed):

 

Also - Please read the below verses (2 Corinthians 3:4-6 NKJV) as referenced in the full message text -

 

⁴ And we have such trust through Christ toward God.  ⁴ Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, ⁶ who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

The title of this message also includes the words – “The Blessings of Inadequacy” – which is the “title” of the Charles Stanley “In Touch” Daily Devotional for (9/29/21) – which I have included below:

 

 

 

The Blessings of Inadequacy

2nd Corinthians 3:4-6

By Charles Stanley

 

      

      HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED INADEQUACY A BLESSING?

Life is filled with struggles that reveal our insufficiency, and it arouses uncomfortable emotions that make us feel useless, insignificant, and weak. No one likes the frustration and fear of facing challenges that are too big to handle, but God can use them for our good. Our job is to acknowledge our helplessness, depend on His strength, and step out with confidence in Him. Inadequacy can be a blessing since it…

-       Drives us to the Lord as we recognize our helplessness.

-       Relieves us of trying to do God’s will in our own strength.

-       Motivates us to live in the power of the Holy Spirit.

-       Provides opportunity for God to demonstrate His power.

-       Humbles our pride.

-       Allows Christ to receive all the glory.

-       Produces peace as we rely on Him.

Through the power of the Holy Spirit, believers have the ability to endure difficulty and accomplish whatever the Lord calls them to do. By claiming the adequacy of Christ, we can face every circumstance with confidence – not in ourselves but in God, who is totally capable.
