THE MAN GOD USES
1 Samuel 16:7 (KJV): “But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”
Isaiah 6:8 (KJV): “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall, I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
God is still in the business of Raising men and women who will become great tools in the hands Of God .
Many love to be used by God , but only few are ready to be used by God .
The work of God is plenteous, a lot of harvest needs to be done.
Yet God would only use those lives that are released to him .
He can not use you when you are still in charge of your own life , you must allow Him to be in charge .
A Lot Of People Are Crying For God to use them but He can not .
They are not humble and teachable and holy.
God is using everybody that He can, and using them to the full extent of their fitness for His service.
So instead of praying so much to be used, people should search themselves to know whether they are usable.
Are You Ready To Pay The Price , The Greater The sacrifice, the greater the manifestation.
God used all kinds of people – male and female, old and young, rich and poor, literate and illiterate, tall and short, fat and thin,
weak and strong.
The truth however is that although God can use anybody but He does not use everybody.
There are spiritual qualities or criteria for
those whom God uses.
When God searches for a man to work in His vineyard He does not ask, “Has he great natural abilities ?
Is he thoroughly educated ?
Is he a fine singer ?
Is he eloquent in prayer ?
Can he talk much?”
But Rather He Will asked ?
Is his heart perfect toward Me ?
Is he holy ?
Does he love much ?
Is he willing to walk by faith, and not by sight ?
Will he be weary and faint when I correct him and try to fit him for greater usefulness ? Or will he, like Job, cry out, Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him ? (Job 13:15).
Does he search My Word, and meditate therein day and night, in order to do according to all that is written therein? (Josh. 1:8).
“Does he wait on Me for My counsel and seek in everything to be led by My Spirit ?
Or is he stubborn and self-willed so that I cannot guide him with my eye ? (Psalm. 32:8).
Is he a man pleaser and a timeserver, or is he willing to wait for his reward, and does he seek solely for the honour that cometh from God only ? (John 5:44).
Is he meek and lowly in heart and humble?”
When God finds such a man, He will use him.
