"YOU WERE BORN TO GIVE”
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He GAVE his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Prov. 18:16 A person’s GIFT makes room for him, and leads him before important people.
The REAL YOU will bloom with joy when you discover and develop the Gift GOD has put within you. Jesus said, It is more blessed to GIVE than to receive…to be a GIVER than a Receiver (Ac 20:35), because GOD flows through the GIVER! You are in your glory when you are giving what GOD has put within YOU to do. You are most like GOD when you live as a GIVER of the GIFT He has put within you. For He is in essence, the Ultimate GIVER. And He created Life to perpetuate through Giving. GOD’s way is to put Potential into a Seed, and grow The Future. You must GIVE to have a Future. No Giving. No Future.
GOD didn’t build an assembly line to mass produce human units. He made a man & woman to create the future by giving themselves to each other! GOD produced the New Creation (2Co. 5:17) by making Himself a Gift to mankind. Jesus, The SEED of Abraham, The Gift of GOD, produced you to be a Giver. The day you realize that Gifts from GOD are within you, and begin to seek Him for their development and use, is the day the Real YOU will begin to emerge and live!
1Cor. 2:12 Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Holy Spirit Who is from God, given to us that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the GIFTS bestowed on us by God.
People who have identified and lived their Gift changed their world…
JOHN THE BAPTIST — “I am the voice…” John 1:23
The world will make a place for you when you LIVE THROUGH YOUR GIFT! Your Gifts are Seeds of Potential waiting to be sown. Don’t take them to the grave. For the graveyards of the world, with their unused Potential, Gifts, and Dreams, contain more wealth than all the stock markets and banks combined. Every world-altering invention, great building, and successful enterprise began as an idea that somebody refused to let go of. For every life-changing success story that someone toiled and sacrificed to bring to fruition, 10 thousand lie forever dormant in the grave. A million Break-throughs, Acts of Grace, and Manifestations of Deliverance die every minute from fear, and are never experienced, because people don’t act on the Gifts GOD has put within them.
You must be willing to Ride Your SEED Into The Ground.
John 12:23-24 "And Jesus answered them, The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified and exalted. I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Unless a grain of wheat (The SEED) falls into the earth and dies, it remains [just one grain; it never becomes more but lives] by itself ALONE. But if it dies, it produces many others and yields a rich harvest."
Every SEED-GIFT will take you into the ground where self-centeredness must break away and die in order for others to come forth and live. Every Gift faces the moment of decision: Fall into the earth and die or Remain by yourself ALONE.
JOSEPH — "GOD sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron; until what he had said came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him." Psa. 105:17-19
After terrible trials of betrayal, slavery, false accusation, and imprisonment, Joseph The Dreamer was elevated IN ONE DAY from the dungeon to become Prime Minister of the Egyptian Empire, because he held on to GOD's gift in his life. Satan will always try to use Pride or Fear to get you to put yourself before your Gift. Pride will make you use your Gift to exalt yourself rather than die to self and release it as SEED for others. Those who choose to become a Celebrity rather than Give themselves as a Seed die Alone by themselves. Fear will make you hide your Gift to avoid accountability…
Matt. 25:25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’
Never be afraid to believe the Gift GOD gives you. Sometimes He gives Gifts that complement your personality. But never gifts limited by your personality.
2Tim. 1:6-7 I remind you to fan into flame The GIFT of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
When you live through your Gift, it causes you to overcome Fear (insecurity), and IT furnishes you with Power, Love, and Self-control.
I’m sharing these things so that you will Realize, Pursue, and Become the Gift-Giver that brings Jesus to your world.
1Pet. 4:10 Just as each one has received A GIFT (Charis), USE IT TO SERVE one another as good stewards of the varied grace (GIFT) of God.
And in the act of giving or using your Gift to serve others you become that good steward GOD will reward.
