Do not reject the gift of God

Gregory Bishop
(Audio: Español, Inglés) ->Original

RESUMEN: The gifts of God often come in unattractive packages, but we should not reject them because of this. We must discern the divine content in these packages and be humble enough to receive them. The Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4:7 that we have this treasure in clay vessels, so that the excellence of the power may be from God and not from us. We must also fan into fire the gift of God that is in us, as there is an active part we must play in manifesting His gifts in our lives. We must be alert and judge the manifestations of God's gifts, and sometimes we must step out in faith to stir up the movement of God in any environment we find ourselves in.

The manifestation of God's gifts in our lives can be difficult and imperfect, but we must not let fear and complexity prevent us from interacting with them. We must persist in exercising our gifts by faith and allowing them to manifest gradually, even if they are not initially what we expected. We cannot let our desire for quick results prevent us from going through the process of spiritual and personal growth that God wants us to undergo. We must learn faith, humility, patience, tolerance, and to believe by faith and not by sight. God uses little things and humble people to bring about his purposes.


Don't reject the gifts God has given you, even if they are imperfect. Exercise the gift and trust in God's perfect plan. Don't let fear or complexity keep you from using the gift. Humble yourself like a child and receive and use the gift that God has provided. Fan the fire of the gift and work towards perfecting it. Thank God for His gifts and seek to be suitable vessels for His use.


Second Timothy chapter 1. The Lord already spoke to us about this verse in the prophetic time that we had here. And I feel that everything that we have heard in terms of the prophetic word is completely in union with the Word that God has given me to share. There in Second Timothy Chapter 1 verses 6 and 7. Famous, well-known verses.

'Therefore I advise you to fan the fire of the gift of God that is in you by the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a sound mind. I really wish I had more time than I have to develop the central thought that God has placed in my heart. In fact, when I was now in Puerto Rico preaching at a conference in the town of Arecibo, I used this same verse in another context to deal with what God gave me for that Congregation, on Friday night.
