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.

HOW POSSIBLE IS PURITY IN A PERVERSE WORLD?

We live in a world where premarital sex, lust, and diverse sexual vices are thrown at us on the face. Sensual pictures, movies and music that promotes and instigates pornography, masturbation, lesbianism, homosexuality, adultery, rape, lust, etc are rampant, virtually everywhere. It takes advance discipline and utmost reverend for God to be able to resist it. When you access the internet, its there. When you read through some magazines, its there. What about the television compiled with various TV channels with different commercials, ads, movies, operas, shows, etc, it is in its abundance.  These days, almost everything we view promotes lust. Even ads; mere ads. Those that value their christian faith and purity can't even watch television in peace. You'll have to keep changing and switching channels to guide your eyes against scenes that defiles the mind. Even the streets are cluttered with immodestly dressed women and men. They are on every sidewalk and every corne...

HE WAITS FOR IT

I love that feeling I get when a person who seeks my downfall gets so disappointed as a result of his planned scheme against me being totally frustrated. I really do love it. It communicates that I can't be touched, harmed or disadvantaged by the enemy. It makes the fact about God being with me evident to me. I'm certain Jesus had that satisfactory feeling when He overcame the temptations the devil brought His way during His retreat in the wilderness. Imagine being highly tempted three times around the same time and all temptations are in sync with the desires of the flesh. However, Jesus overcame him with a simple tactics..." by the words of their testimony" ( Revelation   12:11).  Until tomorrow, this strategy is most relevant for overcoming any hurdle, challenge or temptation. How does this correlate with today's article; HE WAITS FOR IT? Luke speaks of a reality Jesus experienced and every Christian equally experiences.   See this: "Now when t...

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...

A GEN Z PROBLEM

You don't have to be surprised by today's blog title. I can assure you that there are challenges this generation are faced with that the previous generations didn't experience.  Just stay with me on this ride. In case you don't know what Gen Z is, GEN Z (Generation Z) is a term refered to individuals born between 1997 and 2012. It isn't really a professional term used to identify those born in those years but it was coined by few individuals. However, it's use gained wide spread around 2010 to 2015 particularly amongst marketers/advertizers, media outlets, researchers and youngsters especially in social media world. I said something about the previous generation known as the millennials (those born between 1981 to 1996) who didn't really face the problems of the 'Gen Z's. "What could it be? "  Simple, SOCIAL MEDIA PRESSURE. Prior to the 21st century (2000's), it is recorded that the world was already digitalized but the soci...

GOD IS COMMITTED TO YOUR SAFETY: An Experience

Last Sunday's service sparked in my memory an experience I had with a cultist few months back. The sermon, "THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS ANGELS OF PROSPERITY" by my mentor, Pastor Victor Akah cemented my belief in God's total protection, the ministry of His angels and the consciousness of their presence in my life. However, I want to show you by the spirit and my experience that God never fails to protect and deliver those who are His.  It was on a Saturday evening. The weather; beautiful, fit for evangelism. I walked a distance then followed a shortcut that would make my journey to the church hall easier before setting out for evangelism with brethren. It was round 4:30 pm.  As I walked into the street, getting closer to its end as to reach the express road, I heard a man whistle at me, " Hello, fine girl, stop". I thought it was just one of those guys by the road side that have nothing to tell a young girl but to ask for her name and number, so I ig...
