TEXT: Psalm 106:29
God created us and gave us gifts,
talents and abilities. And these potentials and power given us are intended by
God to be used for impartation of the world positively and edification of the
church. But what do we have today? Pornographic movies, home videos and
magazines among others. People have diverted their talents to help the devil
“fight” against God.
One day, God will call you to give
account of the gifts He gave you. The impacts of your talents shall be x-rayed.
How many people your talents helped and saved shall be evaluated. And on the
other hand, how many people your talents misled and sent to hell shall be
evaluated.
There are several inventions
on-going in this generation. There are people who God gave talents to sing for
example, but they are using their gifts against God through worldly songs
packaged in musical videos of half-naked women and alcohol-driven men and
women. They will call the outcome of their negative inventions as successes and
attribute it to God, but this is lie! In such case, God gave the talent, but
the devil has assumed control of the talent. You cannot be promoting lusts and
immorality and claim to be helped by God. God forbid! Many of them started in
God but ended in the world and have become enemies of God (James 4:4).
You must look critically inward and
examine how you are handling the gifts and talents of God in your life. Are you
gifted in drawing but all you are into is designing nude photos? Are you gifted
with computer knowledge but all you do is providing and promoting cheats and
spam software, deceiving people and aiding fraud? Are you talented in writing
but all you do is write dirty jokes, destructive columns and castigating
remarks about God’s servants? Every man shall give account of how he used God’s
gifts.
Joseph was a very handsome young
man gifted with wisdom of interpretation of dreams. He didn’t see handsomeness
as advantage onto iniquity. And also, by his gift several people lived and
didn’t die (Genesis 50:20). Your gift is meant to add to people’s lives and
help them find God. If this is not the case, watch out what you are
inventing…anything that works against God’s plan for humanity is destined to
end in hell with the person involved. That won’t be your testimony in Jesus’
name.
QUESTION:
Is God benefitting from your talent
and from your inventions?
