Your Gift Will Make Room For You
God gave us our gifts and our talents for a couple of purposes. One is to point people to Him, which we’ll talk more about later. Another purpose of our gifts is to bring us prosperity, honor, influence and happiness. Pretty cool, huh?! The bible says that your gift will make room for you. I’d like to encourage you today that God does want you to be Happy, Healthy & Prosperous, and He will use your GIFTS to help you accomplish that!
Your gift will make room for you…your gift is designed to prosper you, to make you money and bring you wealth, and to provide for you. Your gifts were designed to help you make a living. They will advance you in life and move you forward. God wants to bless you through your gifts. In turn, your gifts will be a blessing for other people too. Your gifts will meet a need, and consequently you will be compensated for that. It’s a win-win!
It’s pretty cool to me that I actually get to do what I love (teach, write, speak) and get paid for it! I think for so long I felt like I was just going through the motions in life, in my jobs, and in my roles. I lacked a sense of purpose. I think a major factor in that was that I hadn’t discovered my gifts yet and wasn’t fully using them. I was frustrated because I was operating outside of my gifts. When I started to discover my God-given gifts and started to use them, joy was an automatic by-product. Knowing that I was helping others with my gifts and getting paid to do so was a huge bonus! The proverb that your gift will make room for you started to make a lot of sense to me.
YOUR GIFT WILL MAKE ROOM FOR YOU MEANS THAT IN ADDITION TO ADVANCING THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, YOUR GIFTS & PURPOSE ARE MEANT TO PROSPER YOU AND BRING YOU SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT.

“But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.” Deuteronomy 8:18 (NIV)
When we faithfully operate in our gifts the way God intended (to serve Him and His people), those gifts will bring promotion into our life. If used right, Continue reading
