2 Corinthians 3:5-6 KJV "Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament..."

YOU ARE ABLE

God opened my eyes to see the verses above eight years ago; and it is a summary of my life and ministry. We are ABLE MINISTERS! Hallelujah! In other words, we are qualified,  competent, fit, worthy, adequate and sufficient! Not by my power, not by my intelligence, not by my influence, not by my eloquence, not by my natural abilities and not by the qualifications I have; my sufficiency is of God!

1 Corinthians 1:26-28 CEB says, "Look at your situation when you were called, brothers and sisters! By ordinary human standards not many were wise, not many were powerful, not many were from the upper class. But God chose what the world considers foolish to shame the wise. God chose what the world considers weak to shame the strong. And God chose what the world considers low-class and low-life—what is considered to be nothing—to reduce what is considered to be something to nothing."

Paul said, "I give thanks to Him Who has granted me [the needed] strength and made me able [for this], Christ Jesus our Lord..." 1 Timothy 1:12.

Know today that you are able for whatever God has called you to do! Don't think like the ten spies who felt like grasshoppers before the giants, be like Joshua and Caleb who said "we are able because God is with us!" You are an able dad, an able mum, an able student, an able worker! Yes you are!
