STIR UP THE GIFT


God placed gifts, talents and potentials in every human accordingly. So many gems are buried in your inside which won't only bring you fulfilment but also riches.

However, it is supposed to be multiplied not buried or kept to return it the same way to the Master. They are meant to be planted in people's lives and yield returns for them, for God and for you.

No gift, potential, idea, or talent is a waste. They all need to be expressed because multitudes out there needs that thing you can offer.
"For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God" ~ Romans 8:19

The world eagerly await you, so why not you stir up that gift?

Do you know that keeping it in is selfishness? Do you know that you trying to hide inside your shell is selfishness?

I don't have all it takes is no excuse. You're just being selfish because you are cheating creation. God invested wealth of value in you to give it out to humanity but then you choose to keep it to yourself.

You've cheated creation and that's pure sin.

Telling yourself you aren't good enough or fit enough as an excuse shows how selfish you are because the one who gave you those potentials knows what He did by investing so much in you. 

This may be way too harsh but it's the truth. He knows you're fit, He knows you have all it takes. You're just self absorbed that you're only thinking of the disapproval or non acceptance you might encounter from people along the way. 

Who cares anyway? If the motive be right and it's glorifying God then why should it bother another person? Even if it does, it doesn't concern you. You're just doing what you're supposed to do and meant to do. So, whether others will like it or not doesn't matter one bit.
Don't try to gain approval or acceptance from others at your own detriment.

Let's stop thinking about ourselves and what others may think of us and put out that thing.

The One who gave the potentials will surely supply you sufficient grace to express it to its fullest. All provisions needed to carry out will be made available.

Therefore, let's learn to rely on His grace and sufficency.

Stir up that gift.
Initiate that million dollar idea.
Write that book.
Release that song.
Respond to that innate calling that desires expression.
Take up that burden, idea, solution crying in you.
They are all important.
You may say to yourself, "who needs my dumb idea, anyway?", "who would want to listen or read from me"? blah blah blah....

Well, I do and so does many out there.

Be courageous enough to take the bold step even if it's the first. It will save a generation.

This is just the intro on this topic. Next week's article will hit the hammer hard on the head with. By reading its words, you'll learn how you can stir up the gifts in you.
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to miss out on it. Stay tuned.


God bless you.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE

An eye for an eye is no new idiom. You must have heard of it or use it yourself. Either way, that idiom is something a child of God should never use but apply a different approach to it. An eye for an eye is a language used by those who seek justice (a repay) of wrong(s) or evil done to him or her. But in as much as justice is good and in many cases approved even in scriptures, same scripture gave room for mercy and forgiveness.  Unfortunately, many christians take laws into their hands by "wanting their offenders eye for the eye taken from them". They want to equivalently retaliate for the pain, backstab, hate, gossip or any sort of evil done to them in other to satisfy that hurt. But this is contrary to what Jesus preached. Jesus taught two vital measures you should take for any wrong or mischief done against you.  Before i talk on these two keys, I'd love to reveal what the Holyspirit personally taught me from the book of Ephesians on this subject of reveng...

MY LITTLE THOUGHTS!!!

I read something that kept me in thoughts for some time now and I saw a new light in it. "Therefore i say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat and what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on..." (Matthew 6:25) These are the questions i asked myself after reading it: • "Is the above scripture saying i should not bother about my life or ensure i make something out of my life?" • "Does it mean i should just allow life happen to me and accept whatever it brings to my table (my life)"? I thought it that way because that verse is literally saying,  "you know what, just relax. God got you. You don't have to work or stress yourself. He'll take care of you as He does to the birds of the air and lilies of the field. (Vs 26 & 28)." But same Bible says we should work. The word of God critically downplays laziness and idleness. "For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: T...

THE POWER OF BROKENESS

Through scriptures and my personal experiences, I've learned that brokenness is powerful. That one act alone can attract so much. It's all there in the Bible. The brokenness i mean here is not just about prostrating and rolling on the floor (though it can be demonstrated that way). I say this because it is possible for someone who isn't broken inwardly to exhibit it outwardly probably for show because people are watching. In as much as brokeness is displayed with the physical act, it should emanate from within. Even scriptures says it. "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit..." , it didn't say a broken body. " A broken and a contrite heart — these, O God, you will not despise". (Psalms 51:17). It is the heart (the inward, the motive) God checks before whatever the body displays. Hence, brokenness is the state by which you realize you're nothing without God and the act of opening up yourself to Him and depending on Him for any and ...
