So we can rightfully say that your first stage of service is in your awareness of what you have been called to serve.
If you don’t know what you have been called to serve, you can’t serve, even if you serve you can’t serve to your full potential.
And that’s why I always say that; your knowledge or ignorance of what you have can either hinder you or showcase you.
Proverbs 18 :16 said, the gift of a man makes room for you. I will paraphrase it by saying, the gift a man recognizes, discovers or is aware of and uses, is what will make room for him. Just having gift won’t make a room for you. You must recognize that gift and then start using it.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Ephesians 3:20 KJV
The length or width at which God will work with a man is dependent on his awareness of the power at work in him. If a man doesn’t know or uses his gift God can only use him but small. God does big things with men whom have discovered who they are and have started doing something with who they are.
Question, Who are you?
Check every influential person you know today is a man or a woman who is constantly serving his or her gifts. Every person you celebrate today is someone who has served you his or her gifts. Even you as human you don’t celebrate those who have not served their gifts. How much more God, the giver of the gift? It is in the serving of the gift that you make him happy and then he does exceedingly and above all that you could ever imagined or ask.
I always say this, Gods Love to you is his Gift to you, your Love for God is what you do with the gift he gave you.
If you say you love God and you don’t use the gift he gave you, your love is questionable. If someone you love gives you a gifts, it is a sign of appreciation and acceptance to start using it. If someone gives you a gift and you don’t use it, something is wrong, it either you don’t like the gift or you don’t like the person. Most times even, even when we don’t like the giver of the gift but we like the gift, we still use it gift.
But I know you love God, my guess is, you don’t know he has given you a gift. And that gift is what will make room for you.
But how can a Man know what he has been called to serve? if he doesn’t Visit himself at least once a month? How can you know someone you never visited? How can you know someone you never or you hardly communicate with? A lot of people I have had the privilege of meeting, don’t know who they are. Many people are in light yet walk in darkness. They don’t even know what it means to talk to oneself. They don’t understand visiting oneself. Some don’t even believe they can visit themselves. They will be like, visit my self, how and what is the end point of it. What do I gain from visiting my self?
To be continued..... Stay with me.. In my next post I will be sharing extensively on what you will gain from visiting your self.
