One of the greatest disfavours you can ever do yourself is to think low of yourself or conclude that you have nothing to offer. I need to tell you that you are a special and unique creature created by God and designed as a temple to house His glory. What a privilege and worthy information to note!
So you see, you have a valuable asset(God’s glory) that should benefit everyone God has kept in your space, sometimes even strangers.
I am always overwhelmed with excitement and amazement when I think of and consider the name Jesus, and this brings a sense of reawakening of faith in me.
Jesus is the central theme of the Bible, and believers learn that there is power in the name of our Lord Jesus.
Let’s take a quick journey to Acts 3, where we will draw a lesson from the incident that happened at the beautiful gate.
When Peter and John met the lame man at the beautiful gate, the lame man asked for money. Peter told him they had no silver or gold to give him; nevertheless, they had something worth more than silver and gold.
And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
Acts 3:4 KJV
And what they had, they gave.
When Peter said, “Look on us,” he knew what they had in them—the fullness of the Holy Ghost. He wasn’t speaking out of faith but based on what he had seen, touched, and handled.
The lame man got healing at their hands through the Name of Jesus.
Every day, we meet people in our family, neighborhood, work environment, school premises, place of worship, or even through social media. Have this in mind: You always leave them with something. And it’s usually something you have.
What you give to another can make them go rejoicing or sorrowing. The lame man left rejoicing for the rest of his life. It was a joy he couldn’t hide.
In your family, amongst your friends, colleagues, and strangers, are they usually happy they have you in their midst, or do they wish you were someone else?
What is it you give? Because your presence in their lives gives them something.
Do you give joy, peace, love, wealthy ideas, healthy counsels, cheerfulness, patience, truth, understanding, and encouragement or do you give discouragement, bitterness, hatred, gossip, etc.?
We all have something to give, and we give it every day. What are you giving to your parents, siblings, spouse, friends, colleagues, and even strangers?
