Gifts are powerful.

Solomon knew their power for good or evil.

He warned against bribes to corrupt justiceand pervert judgment (Pr 17:8,23; 19:6).

He also knew gifts served a worthy

purpose in obtaining favor and rewardingkindness (I Kings 5:1-12; 10:1-13).

The power of gifts can be misused and

abused.

To give or receive a gift for the purpose of

corrupting is bribery.

It is a sin for both giver and receiver.

The God of heaven condemned bribes (Ex23:8; Deut 16:19; Ps 26:10; Is 5:23; Ezek

22:12; Amos 5:12; Mic 7:3).

Samuel's sons took bribes, but Samuel never

did such a thin I Sam 8:3 12:3 .

God has placed within all of us gifts and

talents that will enable us to be successful

in life.

These gifts give us a clue to the plans that

God has for us.

He desires that we use these gifts toglorify Him, to be successful in life, and to

be a significant blessing to others.

Maybe your gift is some spiritual quality such as

praying, teaching, walking in love, or

encouraging others.

Or it could be some kind of mental or emotionalcapacity that you have, such as a great memory,

the capacity to figure out complex problems, or

to express deep care to others.

Perhaps your gift is some kind of ability such as

organizational skills, musical ability, athletic

ability, financial wisdom, or physical strength.

Next, find a mentorsomeone from whom you can

learn about what youre getting ready to

accomplish.

God did not intend that you travel the journey of Hiswill by yourself.

God has planned for individuals to cross your path

that will help you rise up to the full potential of your

gifts!

Write down the mentor you have in your field of

expertise.

Many people in the Bible had a mentor. . . Moses- -

Then, count the cost of achieving great things.

Realize that obtaining an education or skill,

developing relationships, getting experience,

and learning to endure difficult times are part ofthe price you pay for achieving great things.

You may have to practice or work while others

play, but remember, youre going someplace

that these people are not going!

Learn from what other people went through to

achieve great things, and this will encourage you

to continue your journey.


13/14

Finally, realize the gifts you have developed in

you will open doors of opportunities for you.

These gifts will cause people to notice you, towant to hire you, or to allow you to use your gifts

around them.

Great people will give audience, or give room, to

you when you have fully developed your gifts,

and allow you to achieve great things!

For innovation to flourish, organizations

and ministries must create an environment

that fosters creativity; bringing together

multi-talented groups of people who workin close collaboration together -

exchanging knowledge, ideas and shaping

the direction of the future.
