MARCH 26TH TUESDAY
STRENGTH IN FRAILTY
MAIN TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9
My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness”.
PSALM 18:33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights.
Majority of people understand frailty or weakness as cowardice. In Jn. 18:12, those that arrested and led Jesus to be crucified believed that they had defeated and silenced him and his ministry on earth.
The author of that action, the devil rejoiced to have achieved victory. Brethren, a believer is a peace maker who perseveres in long-suffering, tolerance and selfcontrol which is regarded as weakness.
In this sense of weakness, but in obedient to God, Jesus carried the cross to Golgotha. Through his willful show of weakness and death on the cross, Jesus conquered the devil and the world at large- Jn. 16:33b. Beloved, do you know that at times God allows you to be humbled as to stop you from puffing-up in order that his grace will manifest favour in your life at the set time- James. 4:6.
Apostle Paul in 2Corin, 12:7-9 suffered that situation thrice. He prayed to God to take it away but God told him, saying, “my grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak.”
.
Therefore, my beloved, endure certain challenges, insults and persecutions for Christ’s sake so as to remain in God’s power of protection and favour in your life.
GOD IS OUR STRENGTH IN TIMES OF WEAKNESS
Prayer: Oh my God, strengthen me daily to overcome all my challenges in Jesus name Amen
