Value from the Devalued

From Our Pastor's Desk

1st Corinthians 1:27-29 - “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence”  

Many of us have lost our recovery, restoration, lost opportunities, blessings and so on, because of pride and “too much wisdom.” 

Some of us think you can’t get help from those that are seemingly “not wise” enough, poorer than us, or from those that serve us. God has promised to send us help on a regular basis. 

These help will come as at when due, for God is very faithful. However, we may never be too sure of the vessels that will carry the help – either the honorable or the despicable.  

Therefore, we should beware of how we treat people who come across our way. The despicable are capable of carrying our most critical help from above. 

The “nobodies, small-fries, light-weights” etc. We were created to live interdependently. We need one input or the other from others to facilitate our fulfillment in life. 

Unarguably, the inputs others have made into our lives are the reasons we are where we are today, and we need quite some more of such to attain our maximum. 

The way and manner these inputs are packaged is another ball game entirely.  We ask for grace never to despise those that are seemingly “small”; for from them could come our Godly counsels for greatness, in Jesus Name.  

You will have good success this 2023.  

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.
