Today I want to share a message from Joseph Prince's "Grace Inspirations".
CULTIVATE
YOUR GIFTINGS WITH GOD'S WISDOM
Proverbs
17:8 A present is a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor; wherever he
turns, he prospers.
When we see
something moldy, we throw it away. But when Alexander Fleming saw his culture
dishes contaminated with mold, he discovered penicillin. You see, he had a gift
which prospered him.
Joseph, a
Hebrew slave in Egypt, had nothing except his gift of interpreting dreams. But
look at what that gift did for him. It prospered him. He interpreted Pharaoh’s
dream and became the most powerful man in Egypt after Pharaoh (see Genesis 41).
“But Pastor
Prince, what if I don’t have any gift?”
My friend,
don’t let anyone tell you that you don’t have any gift. God has given each
person a gift which can open doors of opportunities and bring in great
blessings.
Maybe you
are just not aware of that gift you have inside you, or perhaps it has profited
you nothing thus far as you have not found out how best to use it. You need to
take your gift and ask God for wisdom to cultivate it until it becomes such a
powerful tool or “precious stone” that wherever you turn, you prosper.
This was the
case with a church brother who was tremendously gifted in the creative arts.
For a long time, he lacked the confidence and boldness to leave the security of
his police job and step out on his own. But when he began to seek God’s wisdom
for his situation, God gave him boldness to leave his job and go back to school
to pursue the creative arts. In school, he prospered, becoming one of its top
students and impressing the principal so much with his creative gift that he
was offered a teaching position in the school even before he graduated.
Now, please
don’t go and quit your job after reading this. What you should do is ask God
for wisdom regarding your gift. For when the wisdom of God is added to your
gift, that gift becomes “a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor;
wherever he turns, he prospers.”
AMEN! YOU azre uniquely gifted by God to minister LIFE to those people that He has put in your 'realm of influence'! Be ever ready to be led by Holy Spirit as He desires to use you! Your rewards in Heaven come from that willingness and obedience! Here is Hillsong with "No Reason To Hide":
Shalom in Him!
