Apostle Ricci J. Hausley has taken the baton of his spiritual father, Apostle Chuck Clayton, to re-institute the message of being relational and Sonship in the body of Christ. He is reading the scriptures with the apostolic relational lens. This morning he taught on The Power of Relational Weakness. Apostle read from II Corinthians 12: 9, 10; where Apostle Paul speaks about his weakness and Gods grace which is sufficient, and then he is made strong. Apostle Ricci said, there are two types of weaknesses; 1. That which comes due to our sin and the yielding to the desires in the flesh; and 2. That which comes through human limitations, immaturity, and frailties. Apostle stated, Weakness is a God ordained thing, God tempered in the body of Christ. It is a relational weakness. No one person has it all. We all have a place where our grace begins and ends. The boundaries are set by God so that we relate and connect with each other. Where I am weak there are others in the body that are strong. We need to find that common ground area. The latter statement reminds me that there are more than 50 scriptures in the epistles that admonish believers in Jesus Christ to practice one anothering. (Colossians 3:13; Ephesians 4:2, 32 and 5:19; I John 3:11). We are called in the body to be interdependent. Apostle Ricci further stated, We should not live unto ourselves, but find others to connect and relate. There is wisdom and answers for us in the Body. God told me that 75% of our needs are in relationships, networking, and connecting in the body. Life is in the Body! Weakness is a gift, because it moves us to come together. We need to be mature enough to find that common ground. There is more in the body then is in one person. Apostle Ricci: God uses irritation and frustration. A pearl comes from the irritation of sand in an oyster. God is working on a pearl in you! Jacob was frustrated and it caused him to wrestle with an angel. He came out with a limp and a new name. Problems are really opportunities. God answers in problems. When you talk to God about a need He shows us a problem. It is a place to come together. We must stop looking at problems as a negative-it is an opportunity. I left this afternoon with answers to many prayers for work and personal concerns. I have a new lens in which to view problems as opportunities, weakness as a gift, irritation and frustration tools used by God.
