YOU HAVE A GIFT FROM GOD!

From the gospel of saint  Luke 12:1-3,“Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one other, Jesus begun to speak first to his disciples, saying ‘Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy…”

Evangelist Esther Tendo gave a message of encouragement to the believers; she warned the believers not to be like the Pharisees and hypocrites when meditating in God’s presence and relating with fellow humans because this is what has greatly contributed to the defilement of our hearts, souls and spirits. Do as you say the Evangelist cautioned. She confidently noted that this is the message we need to hear as Christians, to prepare us for the due time of our Lord and master Christ Jesus.

Blossoming with heavenly freshness, the Servant of God Abraham Richard Bisaso took position at the pulpit thereafter, and unwrapped the day’s message titled “You have a gift from God,” with reference from the book of 2Timothy 1:3-8 “… I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayer... For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God…” Referencing the scripture, the prophet of God asserted that the time is now to display that gift God has given us for the world to see; our God can never be glorified when the gift He gave us is dormant. He added that every one of us has a talent (gift) that God naturally endowed in him or her. 

However, we have chosen to forsake our own talents in pursuit of other desirable talents that are not in our destiny. If your talent is teaching, singing, dancing or being a house wife develop and concentrate on that because we are all given different gifts for a purpose. The Seer emphasised that God gave everyone a talent because He knew from the start that you are the best person for that calling; through your talent you can register a soul in eternity.
Breathing more life to the awakening message, the servant of God noted that the world will never know what you have unless you display it! Citing the best example- our master and Lord Christ Jesus who displayed His Father’s will to the world and through Him many have known the one and only true God. As Christ displayed humility so should we His followers when displaying our talents; as Christians it is paramount to always acknowledge God in our talents; never boast of education, experience and potential as the world does. 

The prophet reminded the listening congregation that we should never fear to display the gift God has given us because it is only Him who has leverage to prosper our talents. Summarising the message, the prophet of God told the believers that we paid nothing for the various gifts that we have; therefore it requires us to rely on God the sovereign giver alone. Remember, freely we were given and freely we ought to display them.

To you brethren, God is cautioning you to unveil the gift He gave you, we are all with different gifts but this is God’s will- for us to complement each other; your neighbor needs your talent. Rise up, dust yourself up and display that talent because God gave it to you to harvest for the kingdom of Heaven; remember no one lights up a candle and puts it under the bed rather he/she puts it up for everyone to see(Luke 8:16).

Prayer: Christ Jesus help me to display my talent for the glory of your kingdom! Amen
