the INCREDIBLEs

we often see the people in the BIBLE (other than Jesus of course) is like SUPER STAR.. THE INCREDIBLES.. SUPER HEROES.. thinking I couldnt even be closer to what they have done.. but when we look a little bit closer, i realize that they are pretty ordinary people... and now I know God has given his grace in my life, and everything I know is because I him, so this has given me an encouraging thought that the people which God used in the Bible were pretty normal like us..

He didnt look for perfect people to be used.. coz He knows he wouldnt find anyone.. He is looking for people who are open to change and follow him.. this encourages me.

So I wonder if I could make it to the Bible?

Let's start looking at their testimonies, so here are some of the HALL OF FAMERS :

1. MOSES thought of himsef as normal and ordinary... the Prince of Egypt saw that another Hebrew guy were beaten up so Moses decided to take the law into his own hands and went out to kill him.. after 40 years, he had an encounter with God and came to see him and said, GO BACK TO EGYPT and deliver God's people from slavery.. Moses said, "who am i"...
2. DAVID who has been loved and guided by God in battles and glory, yet has committed adultery to Bathsheba and murdered her husband... then there you are.. David wrote the Psalms, the songs and prayers we always used to honour and praise the Lord.
3. PAUL, or Saul, called himself the Pharisees of Pharisees.. who hated, persecuted and murdered Christians because of being Christians.. not until he had an encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus.. then there goes Paul who became one of the most faithful servant of the Lord.. written majority of the New Testament.. an apostle who spread the preach the gospel that has never done before..
PETER.. who denied Jesus 3 times..
JEREMIAH.. was always depressed.. didnt accept the Lord's calling at first because he thought he is not qualified..
JACOB.. was a liar.. just to get the blessing from his father.
JOSEPH.. was arrogant with his dreams that's why his brothers envied him..
JONAH.. run away from God
NOAH.. was a drunkard
RAHAB.. was a prostitute
SOLOMON.. stupid choices..
JOHN THE BAPTIST.. was broke..
TIMOTHY.. was too young..
SAMSON.. had long hair
ABRAHAM .. was too old.
NAOMI.. was widow
SARAH.. was barren
GIDEON.. doubted.
PETER lacks self-control and denied Jesus 3 times.
JAMES AND JOHN.. were self-righteous
LAZARUS.. was dead and GOD STILL used him..

and there are some people I didnt find in the Bible which I know are being used and called for His purpose... YOU AND ME.. and the people around us.. IMPERFECT PEOPLE..

SOME of us feel that we are not qualified to look at GOD.. or we classify our brother and sisters if they are qualified or not.. BUT it is only GOD who overrules the devil who disqualified us to His calling...

We are born to sin but that doent mean we live to sin.. We can choose to live a life for GOD..
