I am tired of the weakness that I hear being promoted in many pulpits 🤦🏾♂️. In many churches christians look defeated, pitiful and sorrowful. And the reason is because they serve a " weak Jesus" of their own imaginations. A Jesus who is too powerless to help them, who's hand is too short to save and who's wisdom is too limited to guide them. As a result many Christians are just wallowing in their sins, in their guilts, in their shortcomings and being miserable. No wonder many of them soon find themselves back into the world, back under the bondage of Egypt.
In many pulpits you hear things like its okay, " God is still working on me" to justify weakness. Things like where " sin abounds, grace abounds much more" which is true from the scriptures but is used in many churches to promote weakness. The weakness that I can keep on sinning and God will keep on forgiving . From many pulpits we hear a powerless gospel that turns many Christians into "powerless victims." Victims of their past, vistims of their circumstances, victims of their sins. No wonder that our churches seek solutions from the world for our problems .
Weak christianity will have you trust more in a therapist, in friends than in the power of prayer to transform the life. Weak Christianity will make you think that the therapist can somehow provide you with better results than God Almighty. And for this reason many Christians when they are going through trials and you mention prayer, its almost as if you uttered a curse word at them. Weak christianity is producing weak , helpless and depressed Christians all over the land. Christian who are accustomed to defeat way more than victory and go around looking miserable as if at a perpetual funeral.
I don't believe in this " weak Christianity." The Jesus I serve is all powerful. As a man I cannot afford to believe in a Christianity that promote weakness. That tells me " its okay, God is still working on you etc.." As a man I believe in embracing struggles and aiming for victories and the Jesus of the Bible is one who is a conqueror. Jesus overcame the world, the flesh and the Devil and He has promised me victory if I follow Him. In my relationship Christ I have gone from victory to victory, from strength to strength and I see Jesus as a mighty Savior who can save from all sorts of circumstances. My Jesus is able to save, my Jesus is a conqueror.
I bring all my issues, sins to the Lord in prayer expecting victory. And the Lord has been faithful to me, causing me to overcome all manner of oppositions, sins and difficulties. My God is mighty and I preach because my God is able. I despise the weak christianity being preached in the land. The christianity that lead to hopelessness and despair. Yes, God accept you just the way you are, but God's will is for you to overcome the faults, the sins, the issues in your life. You must believe that nothing in your life is too strong for God. You must believe in Jesus you are more than Conquerors.
"Let the weak say I am strong." Friends, no matter how weak you are, no matter how hopeless your situation look, in Jesus victory is guaranteed. The Bible say God's strength is made sufficient in our weaknesses. The Christian is a conqueror because God's strength is in Him. So friends, let us cast away this weak christianity from our lives. God is all powerful, bring all your issues to God. It may take one day, 1 month, 1 year, 1 decade, but keep bringing the issue to God and know for certain He will make you more than conquerors. Wars are not won in one day, but the one who perseveres in battle is a conqueror. Put on the whole armor of God and fight the battles of the Lord.
