“A man’s gift makes room for him, And brings him before great men.” (Proverbs 18:16 NKJV)
• Your gifts will take you to places you never thought you could see & in front of people you never imagined you could meet. It doesn’t matter who thinks you’re undeserving or under qualified. Daddy God put it in you not people.
• Your gifts will bring you wealth & success (not necessarily fame). We each have the ability to be our own bosses and have our own business.
• We all have unique gifts & talents Daddy God put inside of us.
• Using your gifts & talents the way Daddy God intended for you to use them, helps you walk in your purpose.
• Your gifts & talents are needed because the world is waiting on someone like you. You can help/ serve others with your gifts & talents.
• Only you can do & use your gifts & talents like you can. People can try to imitate you but nobody does it better than you. There’s only ONE you in this world.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:” (1 Peter 4:10 ESV)
14 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. 17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. 18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his Lord’s money. 19 After a long time the Lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ 21 His Lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.’ 22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ 23 His Lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.’ 24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’ 26 “But his Lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 28 Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. 29 ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’” (Matthew 25:14-30 NKJV)
