WORD OF THE DAY: DON’T DIE WITH YOUR GIFTS IN YOU

Proverbs 18:16 "A man’s gifts makes room for him and brings before great men."

"The wealthiest places on earth are the cemeteries. In them lies treasures not manifested."-Margo/Joel Osteen



Good Evening,

The other day while on the phone with one of very best friends, I took a minute to encourage, lift her up, and motivate her to make sure she never give up hope! To ensure that she would continually be focused on the plan (hope) that God has for her life. See I know that when it seems as if it is taking forever to see something manifest, we can easily be discouraged, or dissuaded in what God has spoken. Well as I was speaking something came out of my mouth that I KNOW wasn’t from me (haha I had never even thought on that level). I said, "If you die with that hope(plan) still in you, you won’t even be able to REST IN PEACE." When I said it, I had to pause for a moment, and my friend did the same…and immediately we both knew that was revelation from above right there.

The scripture tells us that though the flesh dies, the spirit lives forever. It’s almost as if there is no way to escape the word of God for your life. He is so dedicated to seeing us become who He destined us to be that He bound Himself by His word saying, "it shall not return to Him void (producing any effect, useless), but it shall accomplish that which I please and PURPOSE, and it shall prosper (break out, come mightily, go over, be profitable) in the thing for which I sent it." For those who read my blog consistently yall know my mantra: "It would be a shame to have lived this life and never become who God destined you to be." It’s as if you were never born. So you see why the owner who gave the servants talents (in Matthew 25) was so upset with the servant who "buried" his talent and never put it to use? The gifts/talents that the Father has given us is without repentance (regret), and He intends for us to take them, and grow to higher levels with them. For instance, if you can sing, nurture that gift, learn all about it (grow it). Take vocal lessons to strengthen the gift to get all you can out of it. Sing all the time (multiply the gift). Never take it for granted by misusing it, or abusing (such as smoking, or never exercising it). The gift will make room for you and bring you before great men (people in influential positions, or high authority)…think of the likes of Jennifer Hudson or John Legend, or the likes of President Obama or Oprah Winfrey.



Don’t die with the gift still in you! It was given to you to bless someone’s life whether it’s one person or millions, you are responsible for the gift/talent given to you. Now bless God today (by using your gift).



So the question is: When you die will you rest in peace?

[VIDEO] FANTASIA SPEAKS ON DEATH OF WHITNEY HOUSTON

I’m still in shock over the passing of Whitney Houston. But like when ppl pass away, it usually brings reflection to those who have been affected in some way. As I look over my life, I think about what’s important, and remind myself that all that other stuff, is not worth being a part of my remembered legacy. No matter how many people know your name, you will leave some type of ”legacy” behind, let it be one of kindness, greatness (because you became who God created you to be), one of no regrets, forgiveness daily, LOVE shown at every level, being just in all things. Dealing with every decision that you have made in a mature manner, blaming no one but yourself. Also be quick to ask for forgiveness as well. And pray for one another daily! You don’t have to know someone personally to just pray for them. The Holy Spirit will give you the words to say. Now as much as we all enjoy the gifts that God gives us, in people like Whitney, MJ, and others, we must know that they need prayer just like anyone else. Why? Because the industry they are in, is designed to destroy them SPIRITUALLY. And we all know that it’s the spirit that the enemy is after. Isn’t it funny that our GREATEST musicians have bouts with things that are designed to kill them first mentally, then spiritually, then physically? See, we all know that greatness comes with and adversary. The enemy (Satan) already knows his fate, and he wants to take as many people with him. Remember misery loves company. Don’t ever underestimate your adversary, heck he got Adam & Eve to give him the keys to the kingdom, but we have a Savior, and His name is Jesus, and He has delivered us from the hands of the enemy. Don’t be deceived, because you see these people living a lifestyle that most only dream of, or the fact that the whole world knows there name, there are held accountable even more so, for what type of influence they are presenting. The enemy of their souls know that. See if you love Nicki Minaj, you would be praying for her constantly (her grammy performance alone should have you praying), Lady Gaga, Jay Z, or whomever your favorite is. Because when they are gone, that’s it. Screaming over their dead body, how much you love them, can’t save their soul. Stop acting like the things we see are okay, or just acting, or performing, everything expressed on the outside is an expression of what’s going on in the inside. Don’t ever get that twisted, it’s the one thing the devil want’s you to overlook. Ah that former minister of music (Lucifer) has a lot to do with that. Be slow to judge and quick to pray!
