Here is my final installment of my notes from
Wednesday night with one final question...
In who does your sufficiency lie?
The second part of the definition of Inadequacy: General feelings of insufficiency. Yesterday we talked about how often we don't feel good enough. We don't feel worthy of our purpose. We often put a lot of pressure on ourselves. But what if that pressure was meant to be on God?
Who turned the staff into a snake?
Who turned Moses’ hand leprous?
Who turned water into blood?
Who caused the plagues?
Who split the Red Sea?
Who freed Israel?
Do you see a trend here?? Who will help you in your God-given purpose? Your ability to fulfill your God-given purpose is in God and God alone! SOME OF YOU WANT TO BELIEVE THAT IT’S GOD BUT YOU’RE NOT QUITE THERE YET...
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 [NKJV]
And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 3:4-6 [NKJV]
And we have such trust through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, 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.
If our sufficiency lies in ourselves we will lose this mind game of inadequacy every time. BUT... if we allow the Holy Spirit to move in our lives and let His grace be our sufficiency 2 Corinthians 3 says God will make us sufficient ministers of the new covenant.
Are you willing to leave your masquerade?
Are you avoiding your God-given purpose?
