Most of us have because in a sense, at times, we lose the light to our path. During this time, our faith is contaminated with doubt as we try to figure out where God is taking us. When we try to figure out God, our focus is on us and not others. To drive my point home, allow me in today’s article to be a bit vulnerable with you. Last week out of all the articles I wrote, I struggled the most to get myself to write my 50th message as I did not quite feel the inspiration neither was I in the mood because I was going through an emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually draining spell, I was having my Red Sea moment, so I felt it would be justifiable to give myself a break. However, what keep nagging me is the commitment I made to God and myself that the articles will be my weekly contribution to the Father's business. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'> As such I begrudgingly sat on my laptop late in the evening after pulling myself out of bed. As I started writing I thought to myself that I was penning one of my least inspired articles, but guess what, I was dumbfounded by the feedback I got last week from some of my most esteem audience, through their compliments God exhorted me to continue writing, just when I was thinking of taking a break. My experience taught me that a love for God and others must be the motivator behind our gifts and using them. Let us take the gifts we are blessed with for serving, because when you find yourself in a position to serve and say, “I don’t want to do that,” we have made our gifts selfish. If we do what we want and what is convenient for us, that is not using our gift in love since gifts are not meant to be self-absorbed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'>Possessing an extraordinary gift from God does not mean we are mature believers. The mark of maturity is how well we are walking in the fruit of the Spirit. Often the question asked is “How much of the Holy Spirit do we have?’ When the question should be, “How much does the Spirit have us?” Meaning how much of our lives does the Holy Spirit control. There will be times in our lives where our day will not go as we had hoped yet someone is still needing us to build them up. During that hiatus period the expedient thing is simply choosing to do what God has called us to do despite our fluctuating feelings. The further we are from Jesus, the more control we desire. The closer we are to Jesus, the more we see His love for us and the more we are heavily inclined towards following the leadership of His Spirit. However, our natural default setting in life is that we equate joy with being in control. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'>We want to make sure we have all the parts and pieces going in the right direction as that will ensure safety for us. If we could figure out God, He would not be God. At the end of the book of Job, there is a part God says, “Can you stalk prey for a lioness and satisfy the young lions' appetites as they lie in their dens or crouch in the thicket?” What this statement mean is that though the lion hunts, God brings the lion its prey. The lesson here is never to be so arrogant that you think all your hard work, long hours, and playing politics will get you the next big deal or the next promotion. We do what we can with the talents God gave us, but the victory is the Lord’s and the Lord's alone. All we are called to do is put our hand to the plough with our talents, but it is God and God alone who sends the rain. Starting today learn to yield your talents and gifts to the Master and watch Him do something beautiful with your life to impact humanity in a lifelong pursuit.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b><i><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif'>Gerald is an astute business leader, strategic marketer by profession and a motivator by calling.
