| 2 Timothy 1:6 King James Version 6Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. Are you using the gift God gave you? God has given everyone gifts to use for His glory. Even if you don't use the gift for His glory, He doesn't take it back. Gifts are without repentance. Your gift will make room for you. That gift was given to sustain you. If your gift is sewing, why not start a Christian clothing line? If your gift is helping the sick, why not go into the medical field. There are things that just come naturally to you. No one ever taught you how to do it. Even your job is for God's glory. There are people that you have been sent there to touch. 1 Timothy 4:14 New International Version 14Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you. |
You may have a word spoken to you in regard to ministry. You may have been trying to run from the call. You may have answered the call, but you are holding back because you are worried about what people will say. Stir the pot. Wake up the ministry that has been lying dormant in you. You don't need a title to do the work. Do the work and the title come in due season. If God called you to be a worship leader, you better sing. Sing in the church, the shower, the car, wherever. If you are called to evangelize, tell people about Jesus everywhere you go.Talk about Him in the grocery store, barber shop, at the doctor's office.
Don't die on the vine.Stir up that gift, stir up that ministry, stir up that business. It's not dead, it's asleep.
God Bless
