THE REASON FOR THE GIFT

-

Exodus 31:6

“And I have personally appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be his assistant. Moreover, I have given special skill to all the gifted craftsmen so they can make all the things I have commanded you to make:


God gave instructions to Moses concerning the building of the tabernacle. This included the whole structure, the ark, altar, the clothing for the priests, etc. He did not stop there, He had also prepared those who will do this work.


Exodus 31:2-6

“Look, I have specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.

He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze.

He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft!

“And I have personally appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be his assistant. Moreover, I have given special skill to all the gifted craftsmen so they can make all the things I have commanded you to make:


This is why I love Pastor Taiwo Lemoshe's phrase: "the Caller is the Doer".


Listen, the Lord can never lack on what it takes to do His work, if you are in ministry, this is one of the first thing you should understand. He is omnipotent and Elshaddai for a reason, nothing beats the Almighty, He is God! Halleluyah


Jeremiah 32:27

“I am the Lord, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?


Until we understand this, we have not started our journey with Him. That is why scripture records that without faith it is impossible for us to please God.


Hebrews 11:6a

And it is impossible to please God without faith. 


Listen child of God, if the Lord sends you, know that He has already prepared whatever it is you need to succeed.


Look at it, even from creation, before Adam came to be God had already prepared all he needed to fulfill his assignment. If only he didn't fall for the lies of the enemy . . .


Now here comes the other part: "no human was created without a gift or talent, it is the types and measures that differ".


Every human is blessed with one gift or the other, you find it and prune it, in developing it you never lose it.


This is why I always say that one of the greatest thing a parent could ever do for their child/children is to help them discover their gift/talent on time. What a blessing it is, that child would do exploits.


So people ask why we have talents used for secular purposes for instance, the gift of music used by many for purposes other than glorifying God?


Well we must understand that although we are all created by God, it is our choice either to worship Him or not. Our being made in His image also empowers us to make our own decision. This can be a blessing or a curse.


Remember: You can make the choice but you have no power over the consequences. Selah


N/B: Our gifts are also meant to bless humanity!


So the question is, have you discovered your talents or gifts? Have you developed it? Are you also using it to fulfill God's purpose?


Remember what Jesus said:


John 15:2b

 and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.


Remember what Christ explained with the parable of the talents!


As we remember the resurrection of Christ let us understand that Christ lived His life here on earth in full service to the Lord and when it was time He gave His life to save all of humanity. That was His purpose of coming and He fulfilled it. Are you fulfilling your own purpose?


I see suppressed or misused gifts/talents resurfacing, I see us receiving revelation from the Lord concerning our gifts, and we glorifying God and blessing humanity with it. 


We will fulfill the purpose of our gifts and being. So help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
