Our Weakness Is God's Strength | Elder Ken Yiak

You're listening to a message to go from acts church.

We hope this message will light up your day.

I won't give glory to God because I came out

from the hospital number one to thank God because at

the end of the day, I thank God. I don't

have to don't understand yet or forever. Maybe I gonna

increase the tradistic or salary.

Now.

But having said that, friends, I thank God because in

the very moment, in the in the very moment, friends,

God reminds me again on Sunday, don't just preach really

definition of Hebrew and Greek. But what are you holding

on to in the midst of the chaos? What are

we holding on to, friends, when things will go your way?

Come on, what are we holding on to when you're

lying down in the hospital room or by yourself self?

You know, econ super cool black doesn't really work. What

what are you holding on to when cures reigns most

of the time and you just feel like you're just

the last the last part of your strength, God reminded

reminded me again, hold.

On to me.

My strength is making perfect in your weakness. But what

doesn't really mean, friends, My strength is make perfect in

your weakness, and I'm worried if you acknowledged. Friends, all

of us here, do you have a weakness?

We do? I say weakness.

I'm not talking about weakness for food like God, I

want to I want the first cannot I got this? No, Friends,

weakness and sense of like our self image. The way

we think God's way is not our way. His thoughts

are not our thoughts. Friends are weakness. We can't do it.

Paul wrote it as a tone in his flash, reminding

him how bad he was, reminding him that you know

you should be done better, reminding him you call yourself apostle,

reminding him. Sometimes you get reminded. And sometimes we few

that we could rewind by the clock. But the Lord

was remind us again. Friends, it is not about overcoming out.

Weakness is about surrender or weakness to the Lord.

Number two. Once we acknowledge you have to surrender.

When was the last time you actually we actually say, God,

I can't do it on my own strength. I can't

do it on my own strength. I can't do it

on my own strength. You know, some semi turn with

me right now, some SEMy tree. Let me show you training.

Other scripture, some seventy tree. I mean you, I'm sure

you know some of this. Some seven the tree speaks

about Sami. Is that that wroad that he trusted, the

lot followed, the follow God's way, all his way. By

all you see was disappointment and this curasion. Because if

God is so real in my life, why is evil

people prospering? Why is evil people doing better than I am? Truly,

God is good to issue to such a pure and heart.

But for me, my feet almost stumber, my stands nearly sleep.

For I was envious of the Boso when I saw

the prosperity of the wicked. There were no pants in

their death there. But the air strike is firm, firm,

come worse. Certain Surely I have cleansed my heart in

vain and washed my hands in innocent for all day long,

I've been plagued and chasing every morning. You've done everything,

you follow every diet, you kept yourself free for any

form of cholesterol.

Yet the result turn out slightly different.

Then you look at other people and sometings I do

I have the confess right now?

Should I do?

Look at myself? Like clicks who've got no direct plan?

Who is like sometimes there is no tomorrow, the LDL

is better than mine. Sometimes I wonder whether the ten

salary sticks is worth the sacrifice or not. And that's

why we go through life, isn't it.

Think about it. You've done so much.

You have actually tried to be obedient to your discipline

that you said because you believe it is discipline that

produces outcome. But no matter why is somethay it doesn't

produce the outcome. And you look and it's true, don't

worget about evil? People are just very January in every

day we look at other people.

We are not bad people. But yeah, we're going to

so much. And God was.

Minister to you today before I close off towards because

at time we have this image image, I say, the

image I want to use the imperfection. Everything has been

perfect neatly in place where there are days whereby imperfect

perfection goes out the window. There are days whereby it

is chaotic. And this is where you surrender. Point number two.

You surrender to the Lord because you cannot turn the

results to your favor.

You can't.

I can't tell the doctor they say that you know

I don't like this, or hurry up?

Please?

Can you quickly do the operation. I want to get

out from here.

I can't. I just I was just lying there.

You know, there are many other stories that I want

to share with you, but because it's it's a Sunday

morning message, I couldn't be so graphic. But then the

opption and the opportunity day to day I have to

go to I was just telling you my wife. You know,

it's so funny. You know what you're being operated on.

They see so many other days, so many other times

you have the people get operated on. To them is

I'm just one of the patient. But but for you,

you're like, You're like I'm the one that you need

to care the most because it's your life. You know

what I mean right that very moment? What do you do?

What the results?

What do you do? What do you do? They deserve this?

Like some sennitary. I done everything that looks like in Wain.

I see that evil people, their strength are firm, not

even waiting.

This firm. There is no hunger. Parents. Yet you follow

the law.

You follow everything you have said, Lord, I follow you.

I see people who's like tripping my size, no need

to do stand Why me?

Lord?

What did I do wrong? What sin I do there?

Because because I the full time, I'm not do enough.

And then this knot here because we didn't do enough.

Because we didn't do enough, we got ourselves to this

place somebody's wrote there. The more I focus on the external,

the more I realized I will never get the answer,

and I look at the result, I begin to surrender.

Say Lord, thank you so much.

I started to get this revelation, and I know where

I am right now, and why were these friends church?

I just want to let you know that no matter

what happens in the future, I can only live today. Really,

I can only live today. I told my wife this.

You know, I can give you my best today, but

I really don't know tomorrow, but I will.

I want.

I just want to make sure that everything's in place. Okay,

I thought, I right. My clothes is nicely put in

place for you, all right, so you don't have to

worry about my clothes when I'm not longer around. Everything's

in place, okay, the house is right awayd really all right?

By way, Thank god, my house finally finished. Stay together,

my wife, after so long last time, I think the

story that I'm still shifted he and there moving there.

Praise the Lord, hallelujah.

But I said, everything is in place all right if

I if Lord calls me home, everything is taking care off,

all right. But I can only do today, so I

can just surrender tomorrow. I'm not sure how many of

ys are really are ready to surrender tomorrow? Come on,

how many are ready to surrender tomorrow? Do what you

can today, but tomorrow leave it to the Lord. Come on,

I'm sorry, I'm going by the salary. I hope you

don't mind. I'm going into all this healthy stuff right

which people will puke and this stuff like that. I'm

really say, look what other ways? But you want me

to blend? Tell me, Lord, please? You want me blend?

Me to go?

Okay, help me, Lord, just give it to me. All

write this recipe. I'll just blend it. I'll just drink it.

Like what other stuff do I need to do? Do

I need to do more? I know people blend like

about thirty sticks a day to drink. I'm not drinking enough,

so I just say surrender.

You can't.

It's beyond your controls.

You can't.

Whatever you do, right, you cannot. You cannot. You cannot,

you cannot shrink by your arterial walls.

You can't. You can't. Come on.

I would actually be like some send the tree. I've

done everything in wain.

Come on.

If you're hoping the outcome that you want, you're gonna do,

You're gonna feel.

Very disappointed, very discouraged.

Right and and and come to a place of your

life that God is not real. I don't want to

get there. I don't think you want to get there

as well. The next day we hit the trouble of friends.

Don't allow your mind to take you there. Don't allow

your mind to hijiate you there. I'm gonna show you

after one final scripture. But here's the thing, some sense

if you say that, surely I've cleansed my hand in

rein right, then Worth sixteen, when I thought how to

understand this, it was too painful for me. Come on,

when I thought how to understand this, it was too

painful for me. Verse sixteen said, when I thought understand it, it

was too painful for me.

Why pain?

It's because you pay a price to be where you are,

to do everything the discipline. You paid the price too,

to be organized, to remain in control. You pay a price,

you sacrifice. If I do this, the outcome will be this.

But many times in your life wanted to say to

you in friends, the outcome may not be in your control.

There's some days, friends, I want to let you know

that only God can answer. Let me share a story

with your There was a certain there was a certain

case that was brought up our attention about about about

someone's brother whereby he loses temper, lose his temper, loses stuff,

get angry, wolin and stuff like that, and uh, they'll pray. Mhmm.

Family started acknowledge is more spiritual than physical. More spiritual

and physica comes the revelation that or maybe really partially

being possessed. Try therefore, parents on Christian trying to fight,

answer trent to fire, answer trentify, answer to do exorcism

and deliverance.

I want to let you know what's a going rate for.

Non Christian charging or non conoun Christian exorcism or deliverance. Okay,

there is a price that you ask other people to

cast up evil spirit. That there is a price you

have to pay one one spirit about six thousand ring it,

six thousand ring it. Hey Christian, we can go go

do very good business. Okay, Sorry, that's about six six thousand.

Ring it the easy one that how do I go

to five figure?

H oh?

I was like, hey, people ask to do house cleansing.

All those weecome me building fun right? You know? All right? No,

but so try try try, try, try, try try all

the way around. Maybe go to Thailand to try. Couldn't.

So the sisters say, bring church. Paryers are totally against church.

They won't do anything we did. So one day the

preiers realiz, I got no more. I got no more.

I can't do it. I try everything, everything did help.

Maybe try church. Try church. The leaders are all prepared,

they all everyone's noticed that this guy my calm doing

pace of worship.

You come, wolent, take the chair through everything, just get radio.

Okay, if he does manifest, just put in the room

that we pray for him and stuff like that. But

nothing to be afraid of, nothing to be afrail off.

So the day came, he came to church, came the

church first came to church, no violence, send the sea

peaceful like a lamb, set thro out the whole service,

joining for lunch, join it for me. After that came through,

or three times after that, let's stop coming do not

manifest at home anymore. They're not manifests. I didn't believe it,

but did not manifest at home anymore. I want to

let you know, friends, many times in our life we

try on the natural way the resolve problem, and we

do this. It could be this, it could be this,

and the result may not be what we want. I

say again, and something says that I thought about. I

try to understand this. I got no answer, got no answer.

The more the more I think about it is painful

until I enter the sanctuary of God. First the surrender moment.

It's not surrender.

I give up. The surrender moments it God? Would you

take over? Come on Church?

Would you take over? Would you take over this situation?

I got this area of my readers. Would you take over?

I'm going to show it to you from Genesis chapter too.

What does take over means? But the somebody says say that,

I'll try to understand everything I couldn't. I couldn't and

this is time by the surrender moments in God. I

can't do it my own strength anymore. Would you take over?

Would you take over my targets?

I can't.

I exhausted all my contacts. I can't do it anymore.

I've done everything I can with my health. I'm popping

enough supplements. Freends will loast me of a lifetime. Really

right now? Right they say to marriage is good, you're

by too Merrick.

They see this.

Coqu ten is good, you go by coque ten ticket.

Magnesium is good, go by magnesium fas after the worrying

your drawers and the few way supplements you go at.

So what is what?

Right now? Is it true?

Because we want the words? Is that we want to

be in control of the results. Of course, we want

the best of ourselves. But there are some things you

just can't because you try to understand.

So what works? What doesn't work? Then? When every time

there's each or a slightly discomfort?

Here, God, is it time? Are you calling me?

Right now?

We have this theory that we have among me and Passesandra.

The moment I see one great man of God get

caught home to be with the Lord. It's not it's

not just one, but it's a few one. And we

have this term that we me and pass like like

to use. The bass is coming around to take the

home the saints for the Lord.

And it's true enough, you know we have we have

we have, we have solt.

We're studied that when someone go home with a lot,

like a few of them go home to be with

a lot around the same time. Because the bus is

making its real we say, is it my turn?

Right now?

Lord?

I see I feel slight discomfort.

Right, I look at my hwa hungary for the all

of a sudden, I remember my time to hunger eight

of this of the blue frightened.

This is it.

Then you go like, oh no, I pay the bill.

Not so my wife had the worry frightened. But surrender, friends, surrender,

you enter into the shang tree of the House of God.

Then I understood their end. The confidence come and you

go to an operations not because you know the Bible

inside and outside.

The confidence comes. You know the world of God.

You hold onto it, that every principle that's being preached,

and hold onto you work it out and you know

that this is true and God your mind say, do

you believe what you preached? Las Sunday, we Christian give

advice to other Christians. This is what you should do,

This is how you should pray. But how the time

and we go to circumstances, do we even believe the

message that comes up from our lips. Come on, come

from our lips. Heank God, this is reminded you remember

what you pushed us to day is yesterday you push

your ex humpire and now you're here and you're crying

out to be like, baby, what do you push your

people not to worry? And you're like you're worse than them?

Come on, just being very honest here, And the fact

is is that God began to remind me hold on

to what you teach because in holding on, you're holding

onto the cross. Because unless you're not teaching the crosser

teaching people about peace of wood, that's floating the sea.

But you're holding onto the cross, you can nothing to

be afraid of. Come on, surrender my final by my

fin's cicuture, which.

You turned to.

Genesis chapter two, right, Genesis chapter two again, Genesis chapter two.

Let me just so sorry, I really don't have no

This message still still still chapter two, verse twenty five,

This message still bring my heart all right, and by

just giving you advance screening first, all right, Genesis chapter two,

verse twenty five. Okay, and they were both okay, they

were both naked and not naked the man and the wife.

But they're not a shame. Come on, they were both

naked men and wife and they were.

Not a shame.

This time I'm going to preach. God created men and women.

Both of them were naked, nothing to hide. Every imperfection

was sin, not not not a shame. But the moment

where they did this obey God, they realized that they're

still naked. They were First x the first feeling they

felt after the the sin was shame. Second, they say,

my grace is sufficient for you. It's God's grace that

cowards are weakness, that people don't see the weakness anymore.

That's why gineship. They say. They were both naked.

They miss in other words, friends, they will imperfect some

of them. I know, I know God made by everybody,

but there was an imperfection and sense of that weakness

instead that lack. One man couldn't do it, but the

woman could. But the men do it by himself, it would

be a failure. That's why the Bible says that God

has to create another helper. What I'm trying to see

here is is that God revealed to read that it

is by grace that cowards, that nakedness They don't see

the weakness. They don't see each other's fault anymore. They

only see God in them making when they sin, that

Grace left them and revealed to them every ugly spots

that what my grace used to cover. And because of

this they decided to make for themselves clothes up of

fake leaves. You got to see this image right now.

Men will always try to cover the weakness, the shame

we work. It takes plaster on the outside, but thinks

plus on the outside doesn't heal. Really, what's the root

matter on the inside. And this is how I'm going

to end. My grace is sufficient for you. My strength

the Bible used to work is make perfect, come on

perfect in your area of weakness. When you see something

that's perfect, there is no more need to change, There

is no more need to add or Randoway, there is

no more need for you and me to add on extra.

When God say my strength is making perfect in your

area of weakness, that he is sufficient for us. The

next time you go to things, remember that he's sufficient

for you. Next time you feel like so out of control,

you surrender. You acknowledge your surrender. He's sufficient for you. Yes,

you will not get the answers immediately. Even when God

declared that the problem that My strength is made perfect

in your weakness. The tone of the flesh is still there,

the ton and the flesh is still there.

Yes, there will be still situation in your life is

still there.

It's still there, friends, But that doesn't mean doesn't mean

that His grace is not enough. That doesn't mean that

his strength is not enough. The next time when you

go to a different challenging situation, remember this for in

your weakness, that's where you get to experience his strength.

Why do you need extra strength when you have your

own strength?

You don't.

If you have your own strength, you will need extra strength.

Come on, if you have your own strength right now,

you don't need extra strength. I can manage it, I

can carry it. But sometimes you need to allow God

to come true a worker is true, and be honest

and open with him. And this time I'm going to close.

Just encourage others your mom's You went through so much

ups and the downs, your personal dreams put aside for

the sake of the family, for the children. You know

what you went through. You have only so much time

for yourself in the day and many times you felt

maybe not insufficient, not good enough, or maybe the right

word to already use is that you know you felt

they could do better. I only came with this message,

you me just minister to moms in the house because

there are many moms here. Felt that if only I

could just give the extra, then you know it'll be better.

You know the result could be different.

I find a piece, I discharge my duty as a

mom well, and all that we do right now, as

long as you give a best on a daily basis,

the outcome belongs to the Lord, said. The Bible says,

love the Lord your God with all your heart.

That's it.

Once you know that you give your already, that's all

you could do. Moms saying well, appreciate you, we love you,

We know what you went through. We can now your

phantom and understand the full capacity in our own human mind.

Really the sacrifices you have to make personally to raise

up your family. Earlier on the A m mandin don't translation,

but it was so funny.

I just sorry, I tracked joke.

And I think really approped to thirty one and the

champers and just say this and the Jewish shall call

the Scriptures goes that the Jewish I'll call her blessed

by His translation was the word happy. But I don't

know why his pronunciation came out like this. And the

Jewish I'll call her fat. I like, like I was

oking to do us And what translation is he using?

The way up to him, but it's very happy. Oh,

because a few of us heard the word fat and

the Jewish I'll call her fat, And we're like, oh no,

but sorry, Seck, but just to choose your caller, bless

to choose your caller, happy.

Moms.

You appreciate you. Actually, we do appreciate every moms in

this place. Not easy, not the easiest job. Sometimes not

the calling that you want to carry in a sense

of a in a sense of a work, the calling

in the sense of like the full understandable calling. It's

almost like on the job training. You get the job

descripture on the goal on a daily basis, on an

hourly basis. So allow us to pray for you, allow

us us to bless you. But this message I got

friends just to encourage you. I use my life story

only because God just reminded me yesterday Blue imperfection was

actually speaking to me because if only I they can

kill my health, I won't get to this place. If

only I watch what I eat, I won'n't.

Get to this place.

If only I've taken care of the way I walk,

that I won't have back aches, if my posture was

correct since day one, I'll be perfect right now. No

no back itch's, no pain, nothing at all. But whatever

it is, the past is the past. You can't undo that. Friends,

Now moving forward and the just lot just round me,

even when you're carrying the weakness on the daily basis,

it's all right. So moms in this house, we're going

to pray right now. I just felt God saying to

you that days like Isaiah says that you got no

more strength, you feel like fainting. But those are way

upon the lot shall rise up like rings wings of eager.

One transition put that those the way upon the lot

shall sow like eagers. I've never read any translation that

says that those are with upon the lot, they shall

fly like eagers. Because fly requires your own strength. Flapping

your wings requires your own strength. Sorrowing is different spreading

out your wingspan and allowing the air to lift you up.

And we need to allow that as you surrender, you

stretch out your hands. You surrender, say God, would you

lift me out above the storm. And when eager sees

the storm friends, and documentary has it that they fly

above the storm, they do eagles of we Zealian birds

reminds me a lot and mom, because sometimes it's by themselves.

They wake up early, my making sure everything that's important. Friends,

this is not father's say okay, but that's important. But Mom,

sometimes I don't know whyf to qualify this. I'm not

I was asking my wife this question. Some study one

see this the woman the wife show big for say yeah.

The Bible here says that the wife show wicker early

the morning, I prepare meal for it for family past

twenty our years.

I'm doing it.

Then she literally said, this is approached to the one

husband Zo as well.

Anyway, when you.

When you allow God to carry you above the storms,

you felt so alone, like the eager moms, by yourself

prepping everything the emotional stuff that we have to go to.

And God wants some minister to you because you're so important.

And those are with upon the lot, shall we knew

their strength, They shall run and not fain. They shall

run not faint. This two scripture used write second Cornices

and Isaiah has to do with a lot of strength.

Strength, strength.

Moms are strong, but yet as strong as moms are.

They need encouragement for strength. Could I pray for you? Then? Amen? Amen.

Let's let's close.
