This Is Not The Gift
There are gifts and there are gifts. What makes a gift more valuable? Well, many things if you ask me. Firstly the timing is crucial; of what use is a gift given after the occasion of celebration; the relevance of the cadeau (gift in French) is useless.
The giver also is of great importance. I am not yet married yet but a lot of my friends are; Ive met with couples who during anniversaries have presented pretty old ITEMS which they explained as certain gift(s) given to them by their spouse in the early days of their relationship.
The recipients treasured those items basically not because of its economic worth; but they value it because of the giver. You hear words like; this necklace was given to me my great grandmother and now; its yours.
Furthermore; lets not forget something absolutely crucial too; THE INTENT Why was the gift given; or why did you give the GIFT. No gift is given without an intention. Whether to persuade , show appreciation or make a plea. Theres always a reason behind every given GIFT.
A few days ago a special lady friend of mine celebrated her birthday; for some reasonsI could not get her a gift on the precise date. I felt an indignation for my inability to perform what I thought to be a DEED to show an utmost GRATITUDE to her for she had been greatly helpful in the attainments of some of my goals.
So what did I do? A good questionI sent her another giftWhat I call a CONSOLATION gift; within the gift I wrote these words This is not the gift . Clearly she must have been impressed by the token gift for in her response she keenly pleaded with me to not send another.
Well.Do you know that that is precisely how some of us are with our heavenly FATHER? So you just got a seemingly greatly JOB and any thought about leaving it is simply an impossibility even if it were words from THE ALMIGHTY himself.
How we BE LITTLE GOD! He is the monarch of the universe yet we humiliate him, He is the maker of the whole world yet we give Him little or no credence. The weight of the pain inflicted in Gods heart is unfathomable to the human mind.
Of course, we as Gods children do not commit this act deliberately, no we dont. However, in our walk with the father, A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE IN NOT AN EXCUSE. In reality, it is even destructive.
Hosea 4:6 My people are being destroyed because they don't know me. Since you priests refuse to know me, I refuse to recognize you as my priests. Since you have forgotten the laws of your God,
I will forget to bless your children. Another translation says: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children

There is so much more in papa God than you could ever imagine; so you would be short changing yourself by stopping HERE! Dont even be contented with with where you are nowbecause Gods not through with you yet
Jeremiah 32 vs 27 says: Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me? This is the almighty Himself speaking. I made all flesh; tell me what more I that I cannot do? The only one who can answer that question is one who declares himself bigger and greater than God.
Lets also examine another striking scripture Gen 18 vs 14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son Sarah was contented with the child from her slave; she asked herself ; WHAT COULD BE MORE
If He gave you a used car He can give you brand new; if he could give a brand new car; He could give you a CAR FACTORY! There is always a bigger picture with God my people. Youve got to see that big picture to fully utilize your divine potentials in order to fulfill your calling and ministry.
Your fulfillment in this life is not tied to moneyits not tied to your academical achievementsNo! If you are like me. A man; who is set to leave an indelible mark in the sand of timesthen you dont want to play with this divine insight and revelation.
For with God nothing shall be impossible Luke 1 vs 37,no matter how big that gift in your hand is, it is not everything God has in mind for you. There is more. Dare to believe and you will never be the same person ever again. God bless you.
