WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER?

-

1 Chronicles 12:2,8,14

All of them were expert archers, and they could shoot arrows or sling stones with their left hand as well as their right. They were all relatives of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin.

Some brave and experienced warriors from the tribe of Gad also defected to David while he was at the stronghold in the wilderness. They were expert with both shield and spear, as fierce as lions and as swift as deer on the mountains.

These warriors from Gad were army commanders. The weakest among them could take on a hundred regular troops, and the strongest could take on a thousand!


David had become king in Israel, he was recruiting men into the army, mostly in leadership positions. Reading through 1 Chronicles chapter 12, you see the caliber of men he recruited, you read CVs like:


1 Chronicles 12:14b

. . .The weakest among them could take on a hundred regular troops, and the strongest could take on a thousand!


Can you beat this, the weakest amongst  them could take a hundred regular troops!!!


Do you know what a troop consist of?


It didn't end there:


the strongest could take a thousand! What!


Listen,


Every single human that comes into this world by default is endowed with talent, and that is how God has designed it.


It is for each person to discover their talent and harness it for great exploits.


What do you have to offer?


Yes, you said you didn't get that job, that relationship didn't work out, that position was not given to you, etc.


Yes, there could be bias and other forms of prejudice. 


BUT . . .


Ask yourself, if you were the owner of that company, industry, business or the decision maker would you give yourself that position?


We must move away from just complaining on why this or that did not get to us to: "How can I make myself better and be sought out for?", instead of pleading for that position or opportunity.


Listen, you are more than this, you are a champion if only you discover your strength. Selah


I always say this:


One of the best things a parent can do for a child is to help them discover their talent at a young age then they begin to harness it, then exploits is inevitable.


Have you given up?


Are you tired of trying?


Do you feel inadequate?


Stop following everyone else, discover your strength and talent and begin to exploit it to become the best you can be.


Avoid time wasters, gossipers and people with bad aora. Be the champion that you are. Stay and train with champions.


Listen, God has already blessed you. Moreso if you have the new birth that is "you are born again".


Go ahead and begin to succeed, don't rush but never allow mediocrity.


Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father release my talents and help me to plan to succeed all the way. You have invested greatness in me, may my light shine that Your glory would be revealed to the whole world. I am a success. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love 

@the watcher.

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
