When a man runs alone, it is called race but when God is involved, it
is called Grace.
Never underestimate the importance of the hand of God in whatever you do. Anyone who disregards the place of God
in his or her area of gifting does so at his/her peril. It is just like a man who bought an
electronic gadget that he has never used before and tries using it without
consulting the users’ manual neither did he ask questions from those who have
used such gadget before.
An athlete who runs in an
international athletics competition without obeying the rules of the IAAF, the
governing body of athletics only runs for fun. There are rules to be obeyed,
disobeying these rules and regulations amounts to futility- a waste of time,
resources and energy. Your gift is not meant to be wasted. It is supposed to
count for you and make you relevant to your generation and the world at large.
The recently concluded FIFA U-17
world cup won by Nigeria is a typical example of the point I’m making here. The
player who emerged as the highest goal scorer at the event scored seven goals
while a Nigerian who played just one match had four goals to his credit… (no
thanks to injury he got in the first match) what if he wasn’t injured, what if
he had played more matches? (what if he had prayed more?). If it were by talent-
judging by his first match, he should have emerged as the top scorer of the competition.
Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain…Psalms
127:1.
The labor (gift) of a man will take him nowhere except the
Lord is “involved”. To make your gift count and take you before kings, leaders
and captains of industries you have to acknowledge the Creator -the owner of
all gifts asking Him to take His place.
For a man’s Gift to bring him before great men, he has to be connected to
the Creator (GOD). A gift will remain Relevant as long as it’s connected to GOD.
Just like a bulb cannot come on without been connected to a
power source so will a man’s gift take him nowhere except he is connected to
the One who gave him the gift. Following
her story closely, I could see the hand of God in Helen Paul’s life and gift. I
implore you my dear friend, connect to the Source and the sky will be your starting
point. See you at the TOP!
