Do not reject God's gift
Gregory BishopSecond Timothy Chapter 1. The Lord brought this verse up for us during the prophetic time we had together and I really believe that everything that God gave us in prophetic words in our prayer time is directly related to the word I have to share with you today. Second Timothy Chapter 1 Verses 6 and 7, famous, well-known verses. “For this reason I remind you to flare into flame the gift of God which is on you through the lag on of my hands. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or fear but spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline”.
I would like to have even more time to unpack the central idea that God has put in my heart today. During my trip to Puerto Rico this past week to the city of Arecibo God gave me this word to share with the leaders there in their own context. And as I have come back from Puerto Rico, I have been thinking about the prophetic move of God, the move of the Holy Spirit in churches and why it is so difficult sometimes for churches to really enter into the fullness of what God has for them. And sometimes I think it’s because the gifts of God, the greatest gifts of God sometimes come wrapped in ways that are not that attractive.
