Our Weakness God’s Strength
By Ps Dong Campoy

TEXT: 1 Cor 1:26-29

1. OUR WEAKNESS, GOD’S WEAPON

• One of the clearest principles in the Bible is that God uses weak things. He uses men and women who abandon their reliance on their natural abilities and resources and cast their dependency, totally upon God.

2. GOD’S WAYS ARE NOT MAN’S WAYS.

• God uses nobodies from nowhere with nothing but who are willing to depend upon Him for everything. 1Co 1:28, Isaiah 40:29,2 Corinthians 3:5


• The word “strength” is the word “dunamies”, from which we get the word dynamite. It is the same word used in Act 1:8 translated POWER. The word “perfect” is the same word used in John 19:30 translated “finished”, complete in our weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:10 Hebrews 11:34


• Our weakness is the best backdrop for God to display His power.

3. WEAKNESS DEMANDS HUMILITY

• A humble man has a proper evaluation of himself. He realizes that all of his intellect, his training, his experience, and his position in life mean absolutely nothing apart from the supernatural enabling of god.


• 2 Cor 12:7

4. HUMILITY BRINGS US DEPENDENCE (1 Cor 2:1-4)

• Humility - means rating ourselves insignificant. Phil 2:5-6 (MSG)

The fact is that God uses those who are dependent upon nothing but Him alone.
He has to removed first our strength and brings us to the end of ourselves so that we will look at the task and say,


“God, I cannot do this without you”.
