Proverbs 18:16 NKJV
A man’s gift makes room for him, And brings him before great men.
Proverbs 18:16 NKJV
Proverbs teaches us that the gift we have in our lives will make room and will bring us before great men. The Amplified bible says that man's gift (given in love or courtesy )
If a natural gift can make a way to prosper a man's life and cause him to stand successful before great men, how much more the gift of God that we have received through Christ.
We as believers in Christ have received gifts of the Holy Spirit that are of God and far superior to any gifts of men.
Therefore, it is wise to get to know God and what He has given so that we can start developing our lives to be productive, prosperous, and become a blessing.
The gift of God in us will lead us into triumph and cause us to stand before kings and rulers.
Just like Joseph whom the brothers called the dreamer became the second most powerful man in Egypt. He helped preserve the nations because of the gift of God in his life.
Do we know the gift we have received? Do we acknowledge and practice those gifts we have received?
Once we know we have them, we believe and use the gifts. Then we will be successful in every area of our lives.
God has not just given us gifts but given Himself to dwell in us by the power of His Spirit.
Let us therefore use every gift, put them into practice, and see the path opened for us to walk in and fulfil our destiny in Christ.
Live in the blessings,
Ps Ambrose
