Your Gift
The Importance of You
and Your Gift
We have
discovered that God has given all of us certain gifts, let's now look
at why they are so important to God and his plan for mankind. When
God gave your gifts, he gave them so you can use them for his glory.
You are also an important part of God's Plan
'Without
God, Man can not, Without Man, God will not'
This
Statement is such a powerful statement, it reminds us that without
us, God will not act. It also reminds us that without God, we can not
do what is needed on Earth.
In
Genesis, we witness the first time God gave mankind some sort of
power and dominion. Genesis 1 v 28 – 'Then God blessed them and
said “Be Fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and Govern It. Reign
over the fish, in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals
that scurry along the ground'
In
verse 26 we see the promise – Then God Said “Let us make human
beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in
the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on
the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground”
So we
now see that God has given mankind power and dominion over everything
that happens on earth. But for that, God had to create a human being
to create the work which he duly did. Adam was created and placed in
the Garden of Eden to cultivate and govern it. At that point, Adam
had all the power so everything that happened went through him. It's
the first time we see a glimpse of what God promised in verse 26.
Now
that God had given mankind power and dominion to control Earthly
Affairs, Adam was now the most important piece in God's plan. But of
course we know that both he and his wife was deceived by the serpent.
Seeing that, God removed their power and sent them tumbling down onto
Earth. But God couldn't actually do anything because he would have
violated the agreement he had made.
So,
without Adam, God couldn't act in Earthly Affairs and without God,
Adam couldn't operate in the heavenly realm.
So, we
have now discovered that without us, God will not act in Earthly
Affairs unless we give him the authority to do it. Until we ask God
to intervene, nothing will be sorted. Heaven can not move until Earth
speaks. What a position we are in, we have so much power to determine
what happens on the Earth.
If you
thought you wasn't important to God, dispel the rumours because you
are very important. You need him and he needs you.
Let's now focus on your gift. The
gifts that God has given each of us is to help us carry out the work
that God wants us to do. Let's see what these gifts are. 1
Corinthians 12 v 3 – 11
for
to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another
the
word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the
same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to
another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another
discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to
another the interpretation of tongues.
Its
the Holy Spirit who decides what person gets what but don't get so
upset because whatever work you have given by God, he will equip you
with what you need to do.
So,
why is your Gift Important? Your Gift is Important so that God is
able to operate through you so that he can be glorified. Don't Forget
that without you, God will not get involved so with you gift you
making a way for God to get involved and for him to get his message
across.
When
God wants to deliver a message, he will always use a messenger and
with that he will equip you with everything needed to deliver it but
without you, that message can not be delivered. There are other gifts
and talents that mankind acquire. It might be possible that God has
laid on your heart to write books, songs, paint pictures or write
poems. He may even give you the wisdom and knowledge of putting on
Events so that he can be glorified.
The
list in endless, the possibilities are endless.
The
world is waiting for you to open your gift and reveal what God has
given you, it is waiting for you to realise what you have inside you
and fulfil it. The Gifts that you have may just save someone and bring them back home to the Father's House. The Book you write, the
song you sing, the picture you paint, the event that you put on or
the message that you deliver to this people, it may just spark
someone into action.
Don't
underestimate the power behind your Gift. There is great power behind
you and the Gift that God has given to you.
Realise
it, Step Out and Dominate Your Territory. Your Time is Now
You
are Important to God
