Bible Reading in one Year: Isaiah 16-18

A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men: Prov . 18:16. This text makes it clear that every man has the glory within that when discovered and managed well, it will take him to the limelight, out of obscurity . Some people live beggarly lives today because they believe they have to live on other's welfare and leave their own talents untended. Know this today , child of God, that all that you need to excel in life has been packaged by God and put within you.

Every man has a talent, an ability , a gift just waiting to find expression in him and take him to glory , And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey: Matt 25:15. Cease envying others for the expression of their glory within. Locate yours because God gave every man. How can you locate yours and get into glory?

1. Fellowship with God and ask Him to show you what He put in you as talents and gifts.
2. Focus on your area of interest and allow it to work as soon as you discover the talent. Put it to work at home, school and in church. Joseph's gift was so expressed that it became a title for him by his brothers, …Behold, this dreamer cometh: Gen. 37:19. Put those singing, writing, imaginative and creative talents to work. Some people have the talent but because of laziness, they hide it from being expressed. Don't allow fear, laziness or procrastination to hinder you from putting your gift to work. That is the key for your lime light glory. Take avenues of service to others to utilise your talent and soon someone will be ready to pay huge sums for that same service you rendered. Daniel's gift made him a vice president in a foreign land, Joseph became a prime minister in Egypt due to his God-given talent, David entered the palace and took over the throne by his musical ability. May your gift take you into great places.
3. Develop the gift by prayer, correct relationship, education and service.

Prayer/Action
* Lord, breathe upon me and let my talent take me into glory.
