Have you ever known God uses the foolish things to ashame the wise and the mighty.
1 Corinthians 1:27-29
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence

People may call you illiterate, foolish, mad man/woman and useless but God see's you as His anointed servant and mighty man of valor.
Be encouraged Brethren, never despise yourself simply people are calling you all sorts of names, abusing and backbiting you.
God calls not the perfect, nor the mighty nor the noble.
1 Corinthians 1:26
For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
Do not be afraid of their faces,
For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.

Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David. Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it.

Not forgetting of Joseph who became the Prime minister, a powerful man in the land of Egypt( Genesis 41:38-46) and many servants whom God made them great for his glory.
I say again, never despise yourself nor see yourself worthless in life.
What you carry is more dangerous than the atomic bomb.
What you carry shakes the powers of darkness and his master Satan.
What you carry is more dangerous than the atomic bomb.
What you carry shakes the powers of darkness and his master Satan.
I say again, never despise the anointing you carry. Be it your growing in ministry or not. Its more dangerous than the atomic bomb.
What you speak is fire but not persuasive words of human wisdom but demonstration of Spirit and of Power just as Apostle Paul said:-
1 Corinthians 2:4And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power
1 Corinthians 2:13
These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches..........
These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches..........
1 Corinthians 4:20
For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.
For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.
Don't be discouraged by today's Pharisees who says God Has not spoken to you. For many are blind to understand spiritual things.
1 Corinthians 2:15
But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
BRETHREN, BE ENCOURAGED. NEVER DESPISE YOURSELF AND THE HUMBLE BEGINNING.
