Proverbs 30:28 (King James Version)

The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.


Continued from yesterday...


I mentioned yesterday that the web-spinning ability of the spider is an inherent skill. The silk that spiders make their webs from is stored in liquid form inside their bodies. 


When they want to make the web, they bring it out and the liquid silk becomes hard when it comes in contact which allows them to spin their webs. 


Each of us have at least one inherent skill, gift, or talent. While skills, gifts, and talents can be learned, no one is born without a particular one. 


Even the skills we learn are a product of the inherent potential we have to gain mastery of such skills. If you aren't wired or designed in that manner certain skills can be difficult to acquire. 


Although we may have these skills residing within us, it is unprofitable to us in that form. It is required that we begin to make use of it and develop it as we grow. 


Joseph had an inherent skill of dreams and interpretation. He knew what his own dream meant and he went further to interpret the dreams of the baker and the butler. 


All these were progressives stages of skill development that eventually led him to interpreting Pharaoh's dream. By the time he met with Pharaoh, Joseph had so mastered his gift that it was easy to interpret the dream. 


Same goes for David who spent years in the bush playing the harp. No one recognized the gift at its infancy. But David grew his skill, he developed the gift, and gained mastery of his harp-playing talent that the palace noticed him. 


Beloved, the higher the number of potential ability you have that aren't utilized, the higher the tendency for you to get frustrated. This is why you must utilize your gifting accordingly.


Paul told Timothy to stir up the gift that was inside of him. The same way I challenge you to stir up that gift, skill, or talent. Don't keep it dormant any more.


A man's gift makes way for Him the scripture says. However, it is not just any type of gift but a well-developed gift. 


"What you are is God's gift to you, what you become is your gift to God." ~ Hans Urs von Balthasar


Have a graced day...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
