This is Namma for Christ with the two
hundred eightieth inspirational message dated Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024. The
title of this message is “Praise Is What I Do – 2nd Cor. 3:5 –
BELIEVE GOD, IN SPITE OF THE ODDS”.
The first five words of this message’s
title are also the words of the title
of the below anointed song/video, “Praise Is What I Do (with lyrics)” as performed
by Shekinah Glory Ministry.
The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this
message) is from the fifth verse of the third chapter of 2nd Corinthians:
2nd Corinthians 3:5
New King James Version - (NKJV)
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to
think of anything as being from
ourselves, but our sufficiency is
from God.
The scripture text of “this”
message was taken from the “same” scripture text that I read on (November 21st,
2024) in my daily devotional book entitled:
“The Word for You Today”.
The inspirational message I read on November 21st, 2024, was titled – “BELIEVE GOD, IN SPITE OF THE ODDS”. I knew that it was a reminder that I wanted to share in my next message in my “Namma for Christ” blog. I hope you find (some of the excerpts) as inspirational as I did:
BELIEVE GOD, IN
SPITE OF THE ODDS
2nd Corinthians
3:5
Gideon’s army of thirty-two
thousand men is enormously outnumbered by the Midianites when God tells him,
“You have too many men.” He instructs Gideon to release anyone who is afraid,
and Gideon loses two-thirds of his army. Now he has only ten thousand men. At
that moment, the odds had to be a million to one. And it even gets better! God
directs Gideon to attack the Midianites with trumpets and pitchers. Now for the
real kicker: Israel wins! Why did God
do it like that? Because if Gideon had attacked with thirty-two thousand men
and won, the Israelites would have thought that God didn’t provide much help,
and God would have received limited credit. But God is worthy of more. God
desires and deserves complete credit. And when three hundred men defeat a
massive army with trumpets and pitchers, God receives all the glory (See Judges
7). Why? The reason is a victory like
that overcomes all odds. Too
frequently, our prayers revolve around requesting God to increase our odds of
winning. We would like everything in our favor. But maybe God wants the odds to
oppose us so we can encounter a miracle of “divine proportions.” Faith is trusting
God no matter how hopeless the odds are. Our impossible circumstances are
chances to experience a new height of God’s glory. Are you facing a situation
that, humanly speaking, is beyond
your ability to cope with? Read this: “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves
to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God”
(2nd Cor. 3:5 NKJV).
