Proverbs 18:16 KJV.
“A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men”.
*MESSAGE*
☆☆☆ Every man has a gift of God in him deposited as treasures for him to profit withal.
☆☆☆ The gift of a man is the key to the fulfilment of his God given visions.
*1. Your gift makes you who you are:*
☆☆☆ How is the fulfilment of vision meant to work in practical terms?
Proverbs 18:16 is a powerful statement that reveals the answer:
“A man’s gift maketh room for him…”.
☆☆☆ What God has designed you to be known for is your gift.
☆☆☆ God has put a gift or talent in every person that the world must make room for.
☆☆☆ It is this gift that will enable you to fulfill your vision and purpose in life.
*2. God can use your gift to open doors for you:*
☆☆☆ Your gift, if well and fully annexed, will make a way for you in life.
☆☆☆ It is in exercising this gift that you will find real fulfilment, purpose and contentment in whatever you do.
*3. Education is good but your gift is better:*
☆☆☆ It is very interesting to note that the bible does not say that a man’s education makes room for him but that his gift does.
☆☆☆ Somehow, we have swallowed the idea that education is the key to success.
☆☆☆ Our families and societies have reinforced this idea in us but we will have to change our perspective if we are truly going to be successful in life.
■■■ Let me shock you: Education is not the key to success beloved.
☆☆☆ Please do not misunderstand me.
☆☆☆ I believe in education and my children are all educated by his grace.
☆☆☆ However, if education were to be the key to success, then everyone who has a Ph.D. should be financially secure and stable.
☆☆☆ But this is not always so.
■■■ If you are intelligent but not exercising your gift, you are probably going to be poor.
☆☆☆ If you are educated but have not developed your talent (gift) you are likely going to be depressed, frustrated, and tired.
■■■ Education, in itself, doesn’t guarantee success, it is your gift that is the key to your success.
*4. Your gift will make you stand before great men:*
☆☆☆ The second part of Proverbs 18:16 says 👇
“A man’s gift…brings him before great men”.
☆☆☆ The gift of Joseph (interpretation of dreams) was what brought him before Pharaoh.
☆☆☆ It was this gift that paved the way for Joseph to become the second in command to Pharaoh, even in a foreign land.
☆☆☆ Read the entire chapter of Genesis 41 for a full understanding.
*5. Prayerfully discover your gift and develop it:*
☆☆☆ Many people don’t realize that the gift they are sitting on is loaded.
☆☆☆ The world won’t move over for you just because you are smart.
☆☆☆ However, when you exercise your gift, not only will the world make room for you but it will also pay you for it.
☆☆☆ Anyone (yourself inclusive) who discovers his or her gift and develops it will become a hot commodity to be demanded for.
☆☆☆ If you are a young person in high school or university who is planning your career, don’t do what people say will give you a lot of money.
☆☆☆ Do what you were born to do because that is where you will make your money.
☆☆☆ No matter how big the world is, there is a place for you in it when you discover and manifest your gift.
■■■ Alexander Graham Bell believed that sound could be converted into electrical impulses and transmitted by wire.
☆☆☆ No one today remembers those who thought he was crazy then.
☆☆☆ We remember only the man who exercised his gift thereby realising his vision by creating the telephone.
☆☆☆ If you are the type that does things halfway, you may always find a job somewhere.
☆☆☆ And if you do just enough to get by, you are going to remain simply as an employee.
■■■ However, if you decide that you are going to find something that is truly yours and exercise your gift; you will not only fulfil your vision but will be remembered by others.
■■■ Go and succeed.
■■■ Go and fulfill your dreams.
■■■ You can make it in life, Yes you can.
■■■ God bless you.
