Everyone has their own limitations, no one is perfect, but to some this is so much they can take. People around always overlook, or you yourself say that you are not clever or bright and virtually have no qualifications. But there is god news: In this book, “Weak People Mighty God” Terry Virgo tells that God is not interested in people who are talented or strong, but God looks for people who are weak and uses them by His power. If you feel like you’re a fool, take heart, for the Lord says,
“God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;”
I Corinthians 1:27
Terry Virgo leads a ministry called New Frontiers International, a ministry dedicated to building up the lives of Christian men and woman in many lands. In this book he chooses three people from the bible and shows how God can use us in our weakness. David, Elijah and Jonah were three ordinary people. They did not set out to be heroes of the faith. Nor were they always ready to let God move in their lives. But He did, and as a result they were transformed.
If you are conscious of your own limitations, your fallibility, you have a choice. You can give up and resign yourself to a lifetime of ineffectiveness- or you can learn from people like David, Elijah and Jonah, who discovered that it is the weak in whom God chooses to display his strength and reveal his glory.
This book is an invitation to respond to the grace of a God who will never fail you or forsake you.
