- , , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

You are gifted by God (1)

21 JANUARY 2021

‘The same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.’
1 Corinthians 12:11 NKJV

The Bible says, ‘There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit’ (v. 4 NKJV). The word ‘gifts’ comes from the Hebrew word charis, which literally means grace. That means you cannot earn, qualify for, work for, or deserve a spiritual gift. The Holy Spirit gives them to each of us ‘individually as He wills’. They are not something you get by study, practice, or inheritance.

They are not highly developed natural talents. They are supernatural endowments that enable you to carry out God’s will in God’s way. And you will never discover God’s way until you realise that you are not meant to serve Him by drawing on your own abilities, but by depending upon the indwelling power of His Spirit. In a sense, you are like a glove; the Holy Spirit within you fills that glove, moves it and accomplishes through it what needs to be done.

A young pastor once said to an older pastor, ‘I’m discouraged because God expects the very best from me, and as hard as I try I can’t always give it to Him.’ The older pastor said, ‘Son, God expects nothing from you but failure!’ Then he added. ‘But he has given the Holy Spirit to you so that you need not fail.’ Jesus told His disciples, ‘He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing’ (John 15:5 NKJV).

The secret to success is not just in activity, but in abiding! Your job is to learn the ways of God, and lean on the power of God.
Genesis 43-45, Matthew 12:22-50
