Your gift will make room for you!
Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ! Welcome to „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”!Today I would like to start talking about the topic I have titled as: “Your gift will make room for you”. The Word of God says:
«A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men» (Proverbs, 18: 16).
Your gift will make room for you and will broaden your boarders, if you won’t hide it. So many times believers ask: «Where is my place in the Body of Christ? What is my calling?»Do what you know. This simple principle gives an answer to many questions. Find the thing that you know how to do; find what you can do to promote the Kingdom of God, to help the church to grow and to extend your influence in the society.Find needs around you and start meeting them. Find the needs that people don’t even see yet and start meeting them for the glory of the Lord. That is what Solomon talks about in the Book of Ecclesiastes:«Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going» (Ecclesiastes, 9: 10).
Whatever your hand can do, do it right now and do it with your might. Besides, whatever you do, be enthusiastic and do it with all of your might. If you are called to the ministry – and, yes, you are called to it! – you need to know that your gift will make a place for you. In order to discover your place in the Body of Christ, you need to use what you have right now (that is, your talents, abilities, knowledge, wisdom, experience etc.) to help and serve people. Then the Lord will exalt you.Ecclesiastes says that there is no work or labour, nor contemplation, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave where all of us will go sooner or later.«Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going» (Ecclesiastes, 9: 10).
It is right now that you should use your ability to work, think, use your knowledge, wisdom and experience to serve God and people. So act now! Work now! Start where you are! Start using what you have and doing what you know to do!Many Christians today waste their precious time in searching for their place in the ministry, instead of starting to do what they can right now. «I am waiting to learn the will of God!» – some people say. When they hear the call to come and serve they give this excuse: «I don’t know my place of the ministry». All great men of God who have developed large ministry started with something small that they were able to do at the time.Do not waste your time, because time is a precious gift of God that was measured out for your calling. Your knowledge, experience and abilities are gifts of God. Sow them today, and you will reap a bigger ministry. All great things start small!Tomorrow we will continue about this topic. Be blessed!
