MANIFEST MANNA: Meditate on Romans 12:6-8 “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.”
The gift God has placed inside of us has been put there to minister directly to our private pain, while at the same time, facilitating someone else’s public breakthrough–so that HE may be glorified. These gifts then become a powerful part of our testimony. Our TESTIMONY is evidence or proof provided by the existence or appearance of something. Yet our FAITH is confidence in the fulfillment of a promise without actual evidence. How then, do we merge the two? One requiring evidence, the other where no evidence is needed–this merger depends on our MOTIVES. Understand that some testimonies are meant to be shared publicly, while some are meant to be shared in a more intimate setting. EXERCISING our gifts with confidence–even when we do not yet SEE the desired result is crucial to the life of every Kingdom citizen! In other words, all of our gifts working together on one accord are designed to both EQUIP and EMPOWER US to serve God’s Church!
Revelation 12:11 says “And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and the WORD of their testimony…”
Your testimony, just like your gift can only be activated by YOU in collaboration with the Holy Spirit. No one else can tell your story as accurately and passionately as you can. What are you waiting for? Today Beloved, it’s time to move beyond visions and dreams; beyond expectations or even limitations. Our Gifts have summoned us to CREATE & PRODUCE!
Stop holding onto these vital life-source gifts that were meant for the entire Body of Christ and The World. UNPACK YOUR GIFTS–the LORD has need of you! AMEN
