Remember where you came from.
You were once a hopeless slave to sin who was dead in your sins.
God delivered you from that prison when you placed your faith in Jesus.
You were crucified with Christ, and the Holy Spirit resurrected you. He joined Himself to your spirit so that you took on a divine nature.
You (the immortal spirit living inside the mortal body) were born again as God’s child.
God clothed you with Christ’s righteousness, and you became a joint heir of His kingdom.
All the grace, goodness, and blessings that you enjoy is because of Jesus Christ and the blood that He shed at the cross.
There is nothing for you to boast about. You did not save yourself. You did not prosper yourself.
Never forget God, even as He takes you higher and further. Worship Him and give all glory to Him in Jesus’ name, especially when people praise you.
Take a few minutes to meditate on the passage below, and REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAME FROM.
If you stay humble, you will be stable. You will not fall!
“For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey; a land in which you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper. You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you. Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you today; lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built fine houses, and lived in them; and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; then your heart might be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with venomous snakes and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint; who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end: and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.” But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is today.” (Deuteronomy 8:7-18 WEB)

Use your Gifts in a Spirit of Love
“If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing. If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:1-3 WEB)
The Corinthian church liked to show off their gift of praying in tongues in a chaotic manner. They spoke it loudly during worship and the sharing of the word, causing such disruption that Paul had to teach them to do everything orderly in congregational worship. The problem was not just limited to that. They liked to compare and boast about who had a better spiritual gift.
Probably one person who could pray in tongues liked to say how he was greater or more loved by God than other members who could not do it. Then the other would retort saying that he had another better spiritual gift than praying in tongues. These squabbles would lead to factions being formed, people with the same kind of gifts grouping together and disliking those who had different gifts from them.
That is why Paul had to use the analogy of the foot and the hand saying that they don’t need each other being a ridiculous idea. He had to teach them proper decorum on how to minister in their gifts the right way. Paul had to teach them how the body of Christ is meant to be united as one, working together, and built up in love.
“For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body. If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired. If they were all one member, where would the body be? But now they are many members, but one body. The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.” No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety; whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part, that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.” (1 Corinthians 12:12-26 WEB)
Comparison and divisiveness are toxic. Everything ought to be done in love, if not, it is easy for pride to come in and ruin everything. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
It is not so much about their gifts not working or profiting them when they don’t do it in the right spirit. Yes, they may lose out on heavenly rewards because God weighs the heart, but spiritual gifts will always work because they operate by grace—not based on how worthy the person is by works. It is more about how it is pointless when done boastfully because God gave them the gifts to be used in love—not to compare, boast, or inflate their egos. God’s spiritual gifts are not party tricks to impress men with.
Use your gifts in a spirit of love, to build people up by demonstrating the love of God. Recognize that every believer has a different set of gifts, unique for his or her calling. Yes, you have a gift! God designed this diversity so that we would all need each other, and minister to one another. Just like that, we will build up the body of Christ in love. This is the right way that glorifies God!
God has equipped you with powerful gifts to fulfill your calling. Do you know what your gifts and calling are? Do you know what are eternal rewards and how you can maximize them, especially seeing as Jesus’ return is so close, right at the doors? “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever” is a book that this end time generation needs to read. Redeem your time wisely and receive the best eternal rewards: http://bit.ly/sandcastlesdontlastforever

Something in your Hand
“Moses answered, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, ‘Yahweh has not appeared to you.’” Yahweh said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.” He said, “Throw it on the ground.” He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it. Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand, and take it by the tail.” He stretched out his hand, and took hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand. “That they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”” (Exodus 4:1-5 WEB)
God likes to take what is simple and insignificant in the eyes of man, and turn it into a carrier of His power. This is how He confounds the mighty through weak things so that no flesh may boast before Him.
God may have given you a skill or talent that seems so unspectacular, but with His favor upon it, you will prosper in a way that can only be God at work!
You don’t have to look far off or compare with others who are skilled in other things. God asks you, “What is in your hand,” not because He does not know the answer, but it is to alert you to what He has blessed.
Do you want to serve God? “Lord, I have no skills like others. I cannot preach from the stage. I am afraid of crowds. I can only cook in the kitchen by myself.” Then serve through your cooking. Feed God’s people and share God’s love through that way. He has blessed that skill in your hand to prosper in a spectacular way. Your cooking will be a ministry.
A shepherd’s rod in Moses’ hand was used to do mighty miracles in Egypt and part the Red Sea. A jar of meal and a jar of oil in the widow’s house were both blessed with never-ending supply. A simple home cooked meal of five loaves of bread and two small fishes in a little boy’s hands were multiplied to feed many thousands of people.
What is in your hand? Ask the Lord to alert you to what He has blessed, and go forth knowing that He has supplied the power you need to prosper in it.
Would you like to experience more miraculous breakthroughs in your life? The Bible says that grace and peace are multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Christ Jesus. As you see God’s heart of grace and love revealed in Jesus’ 37 recorded miracles in the four gospels, you will receive miracle-working faith to see breakthroughs in your life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

我所有都因為耶穌
一切應許 屬於我
祂付上最高的代價
所有犧牲 使我自由
我只憑 基督誇口
以祂公義
不靠自己
緊抓住 基督盼望
祂的憐憫
掌權到永遠
愛永不會失去能力
(我)過犯再多 都能塗抹
今我走在祢恩寵中
無盡恩典 我的拯救
如何使我脫罪惡
唯有主耶穌的寶血
如何使我得完全
唯有主耶穌的寶血
主在十架流血
洗我罪惡清潔
使我潔白如雪
唯有主耶穌的寶血
