FASCINATE MY SPIRIT #361
Title: ”Weakness, a Portal to God’s Power”
Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 /
Date: June 3, 2022
But he answered me, “My grace is always more than enough for you, and my power finds its full expression through your weakness.” So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me. So I’m not defeated by my weakness, but delighted! For when I feel my weakness and endure mistreatment—when I’m surrounded with troubles on every side and face persecution because of my love for Christ—I am made yet stronger. For my weakness becomes a portal to God’s power.
- 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (The Passion Translation)
Prayer, Love, and Gifts of Grace
Since we are approaching the end of all things, be intentional, purposeful, and self-controlled so that you can be given to prayer.
Above all, constantly echo God’s intense love for one another, for love will be a canopy over a multitude of sins.
Be compassionate to foreigners without complaining.
Every believer has received grace gifts, so use them to serve one another as faithful stewards of the many-colored tapestry of God’s grace.
For example, if you have a speaking gift, speak as though God were speaking his words through you. If you have the gift of serving, do it passionately with the strength God gives you, so that in everything God alone will be glorified through Jesus Christ. For to him belong the power and the glory forever throughout all ages! Amen.
