COULD GOD USE A NOBODY?
JESUS CHRIST WAS A NOBODY IN MANY EYES, TOO!!!
Apostle James R, Betty R Winfree, Sr, Nationally, Globally Kingdom Social Media Ministries:

Apostle John wrote this about The Lord Jesus Christ,>>>>( John 1:10-12,) 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
This is what our Apostle Paul said here written in>>>>( 1 Corinthians 1:25-27,) 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 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 mighty things;
When our world and its leaders In selecting a leader, the criteria used often include a person’s abilities, status, and history of success. However, the world’s measure of success is different from God’s our heavenly Father. God does not require intelligence, wealth, ability, power, or status to become His believer or leader. Those who come to Christ are on His “family” by grace through faith ( Ephesians 2:8–9 ). God chooses the foolish things to confound the wise, or, as rendered in the NIV, He “chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise” ( 1 Corinthians 1:27 ).
Previously, Apostle Paul reminded the Corinthian believers that the message of the cross unites them ( 1 Corinthians 1:10–17 ). Trusting in Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins brings all believers into the same Spiritual Kingdom of heaven family, the same body. No other external qualifier, status, wealth, intellect, nobility, fame, or anything else, defines us. Everything else becomes secondary to our status in Christ Jesus:
“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you, are all one in Christ Jesus” ( Galatians 3:28 ). “The Message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing” ( 1 Corinthians 1:18 ), But God, in His infinite wisdom, chooses the foolish things to confound the wise of this world.
While the Message of the Gospel appears foolish to the world, “to us who are being saved it is the power of God” ( 1 Corinthians 1:18 ). The unbelieving world sees Christ’s death on the cross as foolish, seeing it as a sign of weakness or proof of criminality; however, this is where God chooses the foolish things to confound the wise.
It is through the death of Christ that we have forgiveness of sin and life eternal. This Gospel message is simple enough that a child can understand it. In Matthew 11:25, Jesus praises the Father because He has “hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.” God’s truth is not foolish; it is of infinite value and brings life to all who believe.
God’s plan of salvation is so simple, so surprising, that the learned of this world often miss it. Salvation does not come through mankind’s ability to reason; we cannot think our way to heaven: “Where does this leave the Philosophers, the Scholars, and the world’s brilliant Debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish. Since God in His Wisdom saw to it that the world would never know Him through human wisdom, He has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe” ( 1 Corinthians 1:20–21, NLT ).
Not only does the Message of God seem foolish to the unbelieving world, but so do religious people of this world: “Consider your calling, Brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise” ( 1 Corinthians 1:26–27, ESV ).
Scripture exhorts us not to be wise in our own eyes ( Proverbs 3:7 ). Rather, we should humbly submit ourselves to the Lord Christ Jesus and His Truth. We may appear foolish to the world, but this is the path to True wisdom ( Proverbs 1:7; 9:10 ). “God has selected for His purpose men and women like myself, the foolish people of the world to shame the wise revealing their ignorance” (1 Corinthians 1:27, AMP). God uses foolish things and foolish people to confound the wise like many of you who are reading this right now, at least those who think they are wise LOL.
“The wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. The Lord Yah knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile” ( 1 Corinthians 3:19–20 ). There is a difference between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom ( James 3:13–17 ). Worldly wisdom is characterized by pleasing oneself or following what one thinks is best in his estimation. Worldly wisdom is not at all concerned about honoring God. To the world, believers are foolish and weak. Yet God indeed uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise and the weak things to shame the strong. A person is not saved by following worldly wisdom but by trusting in what seems foolish to the world (1 Corinthians 1:20–21). When one thinks or brags about their education and drugs, the only thing they receive is human limitations.
God uses foolish things to confound the wise; i.e., He uses what the world deems foolish to show that the so-called wisdom of the world is not all it is cracked up to be. God’s wisdom through salvation is available to all: “For God so loved the world that He gave His One and only Son, that whoever Believes in Him shall not perish but have Eternal Life” ( John 3:16 ). By God’s grace, All who humble themselves and trust in Him will receive the wisdom that lasts for all eternity.
Apostle James wrote this for and to the Church and their Leaders, James 2: 4-6,
4 have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts? Those who love biblical truth and sound teaching and agree with God's holy Word would type below the God-ordained message. Amen.
