Profiting with Gifts II

Beloved,

Every good and perfect gift comes from God. There is no variableness. That means not only does God give good gifts, the gifts He gives us never lose their potency just as He can never lose His power. To God be the glory!

God gives every man gifts, not based on what they deserve, but based on what He knows they can handle. He will not give a person a gift that is so heavy, it hurts them, eventually. Last time, I asked a question and I ask again, “what are the gifts that have been given to you?”. It’s important you identify them and are grateful for them. God knows what you need for life and destiny. Don’t fall into the trap of coveting the gifts of others or trivializing the gifts He has given you.

The devil wants to do one of three things when it comes to your God-given gifts. He either wants to hijack them from you, distract you into keeping your gifts dormant or he wants to pervert them for you. Why does Satan have such interest in disturbing your gifts? He knows what your gifts can do for you and for the body of Christ. He is committed to preventing you from profiting from your gifts by any means. He doesn’t mind taking decades or even generations to stop you, your generation, and your legacy from profiting from your gifts.

I want to stress that every gift you have that is good comes from God and every gift God gives you is good and for profiting. If you are not profiting from your gift you are wasting. So, you must be intentional about knowing what gifts God has made available to you.

Another thing I want to mention is that there are some gifts that are yours, but it is not yet time for you to acquire them. Be careful not to take the devils alternative because you feel that there are some things you must have right this moment. God knows you best. What is a gift for one person can be another person’s downfall. See what the Lord has given you at present, be grateful, and see how you can profit from it.

I commit you to God and to the word of His grace.
