Turn your weakness into strength!

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

No matter how strong you think you are, your strength is limited without God. Scripture reminds us in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” Paul understood that surrendering his weakness allowed the power of Christ to rest on him. When Elijah outran Ahab’s chariot, it wasn’t by physical might, but because “the hand of the Lord was on Elijah” (1 Kings 18:46). Likewise, Moses, who once claimed he couldn’t speak well, led a nation through God's power (Exodus 4:10-12). When we submit our limitations to God, His supernatural strength takes over and does the extraordinary through us.

Don’t ever think you’ve arrived—those who keep learning stay lifted. Proverbs 1:5 says, “A wise man will hear and increase learning.” Daniel and his friends were ten times better because they esteemed God’s wisdom (Daniel 1:17-20). Joseph rose from a prisoner to a prime minister because “the Lord was with him” (Genesis 39:2). Even Jesus grew in wisdom and stature (Luke 2:52). Be desperate for divine wisdom and the presence of God—1 Corinthians 1:27 reminds us that God uses the weak things to confound the mighty. Stay teachable, remain humble, and never disconnect from God’s presence. That's the secret to rising above every weakness.

Prophetic word: The Lord says, “My strength is rising in your weakness. Where you have been limited, I am releasing divine ability. Where you felt inadequate, I am clothing you with My power. You shall run and not be weary; you shall walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). I am turning your scars into signs, your struggles into strategies, and your pain into power. As you lean into Me, I will teach you great and mighty things you do not know (Jeremiah 33:3). I am aligning you for elevation. Doors that once resisted you shall now recognize you, for My glory shall be your introduction. Stay teachable, remain in My presence, and you will operate in dimensions beyond your capacity.”

Prayer: Father, I thank You for Your Word that reminds me Your grace is sufficient and Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. I surrender every area of limitation in my life to You—my fears, my doubts, and my shortcomings. Lord, fill me with Your supernatural strength and wisdom. Teach me to depend on You fully and to never rely on my own understanding. Like Paul, may I glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Open my heart to continuous learning and draw me deeper into Your presence like Joseph and Daniel. Let Your Spirit rest mightily on me, and let my life become a testimony of Your greatness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
