Nothing But God

nick-speaking

Hey guys I have attended Nick Vujicic service twice. I realized that he came this time round he said the same thing yet it dawned on me in a very different light.
Guys look at him in the picture… Hands and legs none of those he have, yet he has such confidence. So where does his confidence comes from???

His confidence is not from his extraordinary background being able to grow up with his physical conditions and even graduating with double major in Accounting and Financial Planning!!!
Neither was his confidence comes from him being a wonderful motivational speaker touching millions of hearts, not even being invited to attend the Oprah Winfrey show!!!!
Was it because of the ten and thousands of people he led to Christ???? NO!

Looking at him I see that he had nothing yes!!!! Nothing!!! He had no Hands or Legs and that actually means he has nothing. He needs assistance for all stuff meaning if no one helps him he has nothing. Yet through his deficit he displayed the only thing he has in life! That is GOD! He has only God, a God that is so big that it makes his disability seems non-existent. Through him I understand the true spirit of John 3:30 “He Must become greater; I Must become less” He has lessen himself so much so that God has used his disability to even reached out to the multitudes. He exudes such confidence From the Lord that when he speaks, we do not regard his disability and are even in  awe of him as he has displayed the fact that without god his truly nothing!!!!!

In our lives when we fail our exams, lost the relationship, had things go against us and we feel like the world has taken a tumble so bad.
I would like to share this illustration i read from Max Lucado book :Travelling Light

A man once went to a minister for counseling. He was in the midst of a financial collapse.
“I’ve lost everything,” he bemoaned.
”Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve lost your faith.”
”No,” the man corrected him, “I Haven’t lost my faith.”
”Well than I’m sad to hear that you’ve lost your character.”
”I didn’t say that,” he corrected. “ I still have my character.”
”I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve lost your salvation.”
”That’s not what I said,” the man objected.
”I haven’t lost my salvation.”
”You have your faith, your character, your salvation. Seems to me,” the minister observed,”that you’ve lost none of the things that really matter”.

Guys! In what’s most important is our Faith, Character and our salvation. Whatever things that are lost, broken are nothing that really matters!!! So guys let us be less so that the Lord our God can truly reign over us and be great!!!
