God uses those whom the world rejects
1 Corinthians 1:26
For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
You may think that you are a nobody, maybe even a has-been or a loser in the eyes of the world. Take heart because God’s Word says that if you are not wise, not mighty or not noble according to the flesh, then you are a prime candidate for Him to call on! And when He begins to use you, you will see His favor, power and increase change your life.
In the eyes of the ancient world, Moses was the rising star of Egypt. The Bible tells us that in the first 40 years of his life, “Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds” (Acts 7:22). But God could not use him then because he was too smart, strong and full of himself.
It was only 40 years later, after having been in the unglamorous desert of Midian, emptied of himself and thinking that he was a has-been, that God sent him to confound the might of Pharaoh.
The world may pass them by—the weak, the small, the forgotten and the losers, but God chooses them to confound those mighty in the world.
I know a Pastor it was true. As a little boy, he grew up facing rejection and ridicule because of his Indian-Chinese racial mix. And as a teenager, he was the butt of many jokes because of his stammering and stuttering.
When he was in his teens, he was praying to God, “I don’t know what I can do for or give You, but You got me—spirit, soul and body.” I don’t know how many times I prayed that prayer. But I knew that God heard me because He called me. Only God would dare choose me, a stammerer and stutterer, to pastor a church for Him that has since grown to more than 30,000 members today.
He knew what he was and where he came from. He knew he had done nothing and can do nothing apart from His anointing and grace in his life.
My friend, when you think that you are weak and small compared to others in the world, that is when God can use you to do great and wonderful things for Him!
