As church leaders, we feel the need to be strong, confident
and confident and competent. The result of this can be that we leave no room
for the Holy Spirit to be strong through us. There is a right kind of weakness
that causes us properly lean upon the Holy Spirit and depends upon His
anointing in our lives. This is how ministry is done by His power, and not our
own.
Let us see some scriptural examples, meditating upon the
truth in each one:
Jesus
Isaiah 53:1-6
1 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the
LORD been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root
out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in
his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and
familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was
despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed
for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by
his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned
to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Acts 3:18
But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through
all the prophets, saying that his Christ would suffer.
Hebrews 5:9
And, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal
salvation for all who obey him
Hebrews 12:2
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our
faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame,
and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Chorus - Cross
Calvary has drawn to Him;
There for He died.
And I rest beneath its shadow,
Satisfied.
