PUT YOUR GIFT TO WORK

"Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you".
1 Timothy 4:13-14

EXPOSITION
Everyone has some great deposit of gift from the Lord in them. Sadly, few of us are aware of this and even those who are aware, rarely put their gift into use. One thing we should realise is that, God gives us his gifts to work with them but not to leave them idle.

Mineral deposits like gold is a gift from God but until it's mined, refined and processed into specific products or items, they serve no human needs. God has placed in us abundance of spiritual gifts, the onus is now on us to work with them for the benefit of ourselves and the church.

One progresses spiritually and physically when they put their gifts into diligent and effective use. Let's now devote ourselves to put into use any gift the Lord has deposited in us. Let's not neglect them. If yours is to sing, preach, counsel, teach, prophesy, and what have you, do so to the glory of God.

Be diligent and give yourself wholly to your gift so that everyone will see your progress in the Lord.

God bless us all. Happy Sunday.

LEARNING THE SECRET OF SAILING THROUGH EVERY SITUATION

Scriptures: "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength". Philippians 4:12-13 EXPOSITION The secret to sailing through every situation with great joy and peace is Christ. If you are aware that in Christ you have been blessed with all the heavenly blessings required for your physical and spiritual survival, you will always learn to draw your strength from him in every situation. Apostle Paul learned to live above his situation because his live hinged on Jesus (the gospel). To some when they have plenty then the Lord is good. The Lord is bad, wicked, uncaring, heartless when situations do not work out according to plan, when they fall sick or run out of basic needs in life. Don't let your situation dictate how you serve God rather let God dictate how you treat y

ACT AS GOD WOULD

If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:11 NIV Exposition As sons of God, our daily life in speech and conduct must be the one inspired by God. We have no other life to live except the one lived to please Him. In view of that, whatever word that comes from our mouth should be the very words of God. "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen", Eph 4:29. We need to also speak fruitful words into our own life. Just as God called into being the things that were not as if they were, you can also call into being your healing, financial breakthrough, marriage, business, etc by faith backed by action and the Lord will be attent
