Confound the wise of this world! - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

1 Corinthians 1:26-29 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But Elohim hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and Elohim hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath Elohim chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.

If He was a man of the world, Yah'shua would have chosen the elite of His day to accomplish His mission -- however He used simple fishermen. These men were considered uneducated, lacking "social status", wealth or worldly distinction of any kind -- yet these "simple" men were the ones the Master selected to build the Kingdom of Yahweh.

When the children of Israel were slaves in Egypt, Yahwwh didn't send an army to deliver them, He sent a single man. But a single man of Elohim was shown to be greater than the most powerful kingdom on Earth.

Throughout the Bible, we read of Yahweh choosing and using the weak things of the world to confound and shame the wise and powerful. Yahweh seems to love revealing His awesome power through humble vessels, so that no flesh can glory in His presence.

Don't allow the enemy to convince you that Yahweh cannot use you because you are "flawed", weak, or seemingly inconsequential. No, instead, remember that He uses the base, despised, nonentities of this world, ordinary, often broken, people...to do extraordinary things. Our Elohim is not looking at your wealth, your social status or your education -- He's looking at your heart! If your heart is willing and your life is available, then He is more than able to perform miraculous work through you for His Kingdom's sake. With so much work to be done, don't allow the enemy to stifle or steal Yahweh's vision for your life –- He has a plan to use you to confound the wise of this world, and to bring to naught the things that are!
