Your Gift
Will Make Waves
Mark 6:16-28
TO THE TOP
If Herod’s daughter impacted his father so much that he offered her anything, up to half of his kingdom, and at the cost of John the Baptist’s head, a “Man of God,” then there is no limit to our advancement and impact this year.
“A man’s gift maketh room for him and bringeth him before great men.” Proverbs
“A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.” NTV.
“Giving a gift can open doors; it gives access to important people!” NLT.
SHE DANCED and Killed a Prophet
My Lord! What kind of dancing could that be? Don’t get me wrong. It was a perfect dance, flawless, and dance of innocence and had a tremendous impact on the father and his guest. “And he sware unto her, whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.” Mark
NEGOTIATION for the Next Level Is Coming
God shall impact your life as far as your work, career, and talent are concerned. You shall have an undeniable reward this year. “And Laban said unto him, I pray thee if I have found favor in the eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake. And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.” Genesis
SHARPEN Your Skill-Sets
We all have UNTAPPED OPPORTUNITIES hidden in our talents. First and foremost is to identify what you have and, secondly, is elevate your skill sets to a marketable level or proportion. Meaning, develop and invest in some school or learning center to get a trademark on it or become a specialist in it. There are too many average level believers in the government, private, or business sectors.
We have been gifted differently by God, “He said, “A nobleman was called away to a distant empire to be crowned king and then return. Before he left, he called together ten of his servants and divided among them ten pounds of silver, saying, ‘Invest this for me while I am gone.’” Luke
THE CHALLENGE with Undeveloped talent
- It limits your advancement and leaves you going nowhere;
- It blocks your prospect for any promotional offers or opportunities;
- It will never make an impression;
- It will never be known or recognized;
- The reward or return will be minimal;
May you never be satisfied until you take your gift to the next level, whether to get you into school, win people’s hearts, get you the advantage, promotion, etc. Why? Because that is what this year is all about. “After he was crowned king, he returned and called in the servants to whom he had given the money. He wanted to find out what their profits were. The first servant reported, ‘Master, I invested your money and made ten times the original amount!’ “‘Well done!’ the king exclaimed. ‘You are a good servant. You have been faithful with the little I entrusted to you, so you will be governor of ten cities as your reward.’ “The next servant reported, ‘Master, I invested your money and made five times the original amount.’ “‘Well done!’ the king said. ‘You will be governor over five cities.’ “But the third servant brought back only the original amount of money and said, ‘Master, I hid your money and kept it safe. I was afraid because you are a hard man to deal with, taking what isn’t yours and harvesting crops you didn’t plant.’”
