Ephesians 3:20 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”

DAILY READING: Acts 20:17-34; Judges 14-15; Job 42

Dwight L. Moody was a poorly educated, shoe salesman who exceeded expectations by becoming a great revivalist, mightily used by God.
Moody was born into poverty and when his widowed mother could not afford his education, he stopped schooling in the fifth grade.
When he was 17 years old, he became born again and afterwards moved to Chicago to begin work at a shoe store.
Due to his little education, Dwight couldn’t spell, and his grammar was poor. The first time he applied for church membership, it was denied him because he failed an oral examination on Christian doctrine.
However his desire to serve God overode his educational limitations. Moody became involved with the YMCA, and later began a Mission Sunday school that aimed to reach the “lost” youths and street children in the city.
Unable to properly preach the Gospel, Moody focused more on recruiting street children and bringing them to Church.
Moody never let his educational limitation hinder his fervent service to God. Rather he became a man of deep prayer whose heart constantly panted after lost souls. God blessed his work and his ministry expanded until eventually he started a Church. His life of fervent prayers birthed great manifestations of miracles that drew many people to the Gospel.
Though he never became an ordained minister, yet amazingly this uneducated salesman would be used by God to hold great crusades . This extremely average man without much talent or potential ended up becoming one of the greatest evangelists the world had ever known, leaving a great mark in history.
By the end of his life, he spoke to over 100 million people in evangelical campaigns throughout the world. He eventually became the founder of The Moody Church,, the Moody Bible Institute and also Moody Publishers.

If God can turn an uneducated shoe seller to a great revivalist, certainly He can use anyone who yields to Him.
Despite what may look like inadequacies, God can still accomplish great things through you.. Though you may not have enough money, education, or proper background, what matters most to God is that you have the right heart; a heart that pants after Him. When your heart desires to please God, and you make yourself available, He will work in and through you to accomplish His will on earth.

Sometimes we may feel unqualified and overwhelmed by the magnitutde of what we sense God is calling us to do. When God told Moses to go and deliver the people of Israel, Moses was full of excuses. He felt inadequate especially because of his stutter. But God let Moses know that He could take care of his limitations and use him anyway. When God told Jeremiah that he was going to be a prophet to the nations, Jeremiah told God, ‘ I can’t do it. I’m too young.’ But God told him not to say he was too young because he was going to become His battle axe..
Like Jeremiah and Moses, we may focus on our limitations as excuses not to be greatly used by God: But no matter our hindrances and limitations, God can take us beyond our wildest dreams.
It is not about our ability, It’s about our availability.
As long as we are willing to surrender all to God and let Him work through us, He will take care of all limitations and use us to do great and mighty things.
It is not about our strength, it is about God who works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
Certainly, God is infinite. God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-capable and He can do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ever ask, think or imagine.

Therefore in this season of fasting and praying let us make a fresh commitment to become fully yielded to His will. Let us be prepared to seek God in a deeper and greater dimension until we experience an eruption of revival fire that will usher us into the glorious new heights God has ordained for us this year.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to stop focusing on my limitations, or how unqualified I may be. Certainly, through Christ I can do all things and by Your grace I shall exceed every expectations and scale unimaginable heights in Jesus Name. .

When God places His hand upon a man in life nothing can come against him, this is because the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. WORDBITE 222
