4. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5. one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6. one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all..”.’

When you locate God, you will discover your gift; and your gift will deliver your gold. Life is not hard or complicated: except when God hides from you. When He hides from you: you can dig as deep as you want and die in it; but still, find no water or solution!
God is alive and in absolute control of the affairs of life!

If after sacrifices, rituals, libations, and incantations, you still go to court or lead protests: to defend the rights of your gods; then your gods must all be dead.

Hear the voice of Jeremiah in chapter ten verse eleven "Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens".
It is quite unfortunate that men will see light but prefer darkness. There is no amount of insults that will be heaped on Jesus, by men who chose to worship stones, carved images and objects of iron: that will make Jesus go to the courts of men; to seek redress. Jesus will never ask his followers to kill, go to court or protest publicly; to defend him. He is Spirit and not flesh!

I am told, that somewhere in my dear country, some learned fellows are now suing churches and men of God to court: for making damaging remarks about the objects they call their gods! They further said that the men in question are even making financial demands: as claims for degrading the status of their gods. Wonders will never end!

My thinking, however, is that their gods must be losing followers and becoming hungry. Otherwise, it's the advocates themselves that have become redundant and looking for means of survival. Any gods that send you to kill a fellow human being in this contemporary civilization: or to defend it in the courts of law; cannot be a spirit but a pretender! If the gods are not truly dead: let them go and fight for themselves; to redeem their strange images.

But back to our subject today, when God turns his face to you: your gifts will become your gold! Jesus is still in the business of giving gifts, lifting men and blessing his people.

However, God does not bless anyhow! God blesses for a reason. God has always had a need that can only be met by men. If you meet his need, he will meet your needs too!

The prayer of 'Lord use me' is a faster route to discovering your gift, than the prayer of 'Lord give me'. Every gift of God is first and foremost for kingdom service before it can be channeled for personal benefits. If you don't use your gifts to serve God, it will soon go sour. Use it for God's kingdom and it will become useful to you. This is the principle that turns your gifts to gold.

One major need of God is the urgency to evangelize the world. Whatever is your gift, is placed in you to reach your world.

Without the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, mankind is doomed to hell. Use your gift or position to reach souls and God will use the same to bless you and make you a blessing too!

The Greatest is Love!!
