The fact that you think that you are “totally unworthy” tells me that you are in fact ready to be used by God. Unless you’ve acknowledged your unworthiness you are not ready to be used by God. Hogwash! All of us are miserable sinners.

You may think, “I’m totally unworthy to be used by God.” If people only knew, you say how much of a miserable sinner I am they wouldn’t want to hear from me at all. This is exactly what Satan wants you to think. First, you may be reading this article and thinking you can never be used by God. God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways. God used a donkey after all to deliver a message. God took a shepherd boy and made Him King of Israel. Do you think that this Jesus the One who called men to follow Him is concerned about titles after one’s name? Don’t get me wrong earning degrees are great, but earning degrees is not ultimate unless they are yielded in submission to King Jesus and used for His glory. They walked with Jesus for three years day and night, watching Him perform miracles and hearing Him teach them personally and as He taught others. Remember the Apostles were uneducated and had no formal theological training before they met Jesus. After all aren’t only “super Christians” used by God?” You may be thinking, “I’m just a lay person what can God do with you?” Rather than thinking in terms of whether or not you have a seminary degree or extensive ministry experience I want you to go back to the Gospels. God uses ordinary people in exordinary ways for His glory.Īt first it may seem that that statement isn’t quite right and you may not believe it.

All hogwash
