God chooses weak and foolish to do his mighty work

1 Corinthians 1:27 God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

1. Peter and John – uneducated fishermen

Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marvelled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. Peter and John became the strongest preachers because they were with Jesus.

2. David – unimportant shepherd boy

1 Samuel 16:10-11 Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The Lord has not chosen these.” So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.” 1 Samuel 16:7 The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 2 Samuel 5:4 David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years. 2 Samuel 5:10 And he became more and more powerful, because the Lord God Almighty was with him.

David became a mighty warrior and the strongest king in the world because God was with him.

3. Troop Church – Small/insignificant structure

Troop church is a design that is comprised with inexperienced small group of people, however the Lord God is in it, so, it is flourishing and spreading all over India even started spreading worldwide. We prophetically declare that the troop church will flourish better than any other institutional churches.

Personal testimony:

God chose me to do lead the worship team instead of talented/well trained people. The Lord is with me and he blessed the worship team. IBJ meeting in Chennai witnessed how the Lord enabled this small inexperienced team to excel to glorify his name.

Prayer

Thank you, Lord, for choosing weak and foolish things of the world to do perform wonders for your kingdom. We surrender ourselves unto you. Please mould this miry clay and shape it to become a valuable vessel. In Jesus name we ask.

Sol.Theodore Mohanty

2 Kings 2:19-22 (UKJV) And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray you, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees: but the water is nil, and the ground barren.And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus says the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.

I recently went for a trip to US. Even though I had visited that country 4 times in the 80s, it was entirely different now. US changed, more than that me, Angelica had changed from a convent nun to Jesus soldier.

Of late we have been talking a lot about the Church issues in India.
Churches which should be centres of spirituality are flooded with teachings on false prosperity, worldly riches, hyper grace theory & so on.

When I saw in person & started reading a few literatures published in USA, I was convinced that the problem of the “Church” didn’t start here in India!

The source is different. The source has to be treated!

“And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there”
The source of the water has to be treated! Prophet Elisha did! And the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.

The source of many of the false teachings is US Churches!

Yes! The Church in US has to be treated!
Earlier, US offered missionaries to India!
Now this is our turn now!

Come on Soldiers! We have to help out this vast nation US!
This giant nation which was leading other nations has grown weary now!
It needs healing!

Let’s prophecy to USA!

Souls of USA, families, couples, parents, Churches, Evangelists, Pastors, Prophets, Schools, Colleges, hospitals & Courts of USA
hear the word of the Lord!

The Lord says,
You shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto you! the excellency of Washington DC, New York, Kentucky & all the other cities in you shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

Strengthen all of you the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
Amen.
