Package Your Gifts Well

And the quality of each person's work will be seen when the Day of Christ exposes it. For on that Day fire will reveal everyone's work; the fire will test it and show its real quality. If what was built on the foundation survives the fire, the builder will receive a reward. But if your work is burnt up, then you will lose it; but you yourself will be saved, as if you had escaped through the fire. (1 Corinthians 3:13-15 GNT)

God has endowed us gifts, talents, graces, and callings to impact the world (1 Peter 4:10). A gift isn't truly a gift until it is given. We should not keep what God has given us to ourselves, that is unfaithfulness. God is not in the business of me, myself and I, he blesses you so that you can be a blessing (Genesis 12:2). When you give of yourself and your resources to others, you showcase the love of God (John 3:16). As a member of the body of Christ, God has given you a specific task; if you fail to do your part, the entire body will suffer. You'll find certain parts having to work harder to cover up the slack of others (1 Corinthians 12:26-27).

Another thing to note is how we present our gifts to others, I'm sure you'd appreciate a professionally wrapped gift versus one that's merely placed in a plastic bag. Our father is a God of details, he thrives on excellence. Be creative with your delivery, there's something unique about your gift. Don't just dish it out thoughtlessly, take time to package your gift so that it'll attract a variety of people. When we give our gifts or stand in the places of our callings, we represent our father. Are a true representative of your father in heaven?

Quality is key, it is everything. People value quality, it is attractive. The people of the world have seem to gotten this concept well, hence why many people enjoy secular movies, music, fashion, etc. But as believers, quality and excellence should be our specialty. Our father is creative, we ought to be as well.

On the day of judgment, you will have to give an account of what you did with all that God has deposited within you. Are you going to pass the quality control inspection? Or will you work crumble under the pressure of the fire?

There's a saying that goes "Anything worth doing, is worth doing well." I totally agree, showcase the father first class through your gifts, graces, and callings. Be intentional, be creative, be unique. Wait on the Holy Spirit for ideas and concepts, he'll show you things that you could never figure out on your own. Quality is key! Be creative!

Confession: Father, I thank you for every gift that you've given me. I declare that I will take time to develop them and be creative in my delivery. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Prayer Starter: Heavenly father, I come to you today asking for insight and creative wisdom to bring you glory with my gifts. In Jesus' name. Amen. 


You're blessed!
