1 | The possible hindrance agsinst being use | 2 Cor 8:12 | Endie | 194352 | ||
please what are the possible hindrances against being used by God.For instance God would have established Saul's Kingdom but for disobedience (1 Samuel 15:22-29) while it was unwillingness in the case of Johoash King of Israel (2kings 13:14-19)with example from the Bible. from: Kingsley.N.O gentlelynx2@yahoo.com Nigeria. |

Hi. I saw your question, and I am not an expert, but if you go by Saul's standard of being used by God, it can be a bit misleading. God loves us, I believe, unconditionally, not because we are lovely, but because He IS love, and because of what He did through Jesus. So IMO, God will use you as much as you want to be used, and as much as you believe he wants to use you. I believe we are only under the New Covenant restrictions of the NT and loving God and loving each other is the most important thing.after all , without love we are nothing. God can use you every day , all day in ways you can't imagine, to encourage and inspire people. Just ask Him and He will show you. He gave us all individual and unique talents and gifts that he wants to use to help others, so whether God uses you , is not dependent upon how good you have been, but asking God to make you usable, and then asking for opportunities for Him to use you, and asking for His help in recognizing those opportunities. None lives to himself and we are all here to help each other. But of course, we must be willing to be used, and that is a great start! |

Hi Eddie, That was a nice post and informative but are those all “your ideas” or are there actually Scriptures to back that up? Titus 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: Inquisitive, CDBJ |

Hi, How are you? If you do not think that what I said was scriptural, please do explain what you think I said that is not sound doctrine. It is hard to know where you are coming from without a specific example. If you do give me specifics, I can try to give you specific examples from scripture. If you want me to quote a scripture for every word I say, well,that's asking a bit too much don't you think? Respectfully, EddieB |

Hello EddieB, We have a chronic problem of people making assertions without scriptural backing. I saw several things in your answer to Endie that I can point to directly in the Bible (like God is love), but there are other statements where you draw conclusions, such as: "[b]ut asking God to make you usable, and then asking for opportunities for Him to use you, and asking for His help in recognizing those opportunities" How do you come to that conclusion? Just show the Scripture that backs your thought process. And Scripture quotes are not necessary. References will do. Steve |
