    YOUR GIFT BRINGS YOU GIFTS – By Dr Segun ‘TREMENDOUS’ Oshinaga

    YOUR GIFT BRINGS YOU GIFTS

    – By Dr Segun ‘TREMENDOUS’ Oshinaga

     

    Your gift is your principal tool for making contributions to your world. You neglect your gift, and you have forsaken your destiny. If you improve your gift, your destiny will also grow. The quality of your gift will determine the quality of your service to the world.

     “A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.” – ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

    Your gift holds the key to your gifts in life. Your promotion, possessions and progress are all locked up in your gift. As your gift touches and blesses lives, they will also enrich you with gifts. Each man/woman is a rich deposit of blessings. The blessing that you become is proportionate to the development of your gift.

    The responsibility for adding value to our gifts lies entirely in our hands. What God has deposited in each of us are raw gifts. Just the same way He deposits unrefined gold in the cavities of the earth. Doesn’t it amaze you that the Earth has always carried a large pool of gas and oil? These were of no value to anyone until man discovered the technology to extract and use them.  

    Oil was discovered in Nigeria in Oloibiri in the Niger Delta in 1958. But that was not the year that God hid oil in our land. Our forefathers lived and died in penury, not because the land was not rich in minerals, but because they had no means to extract and use them.

     “One well cultivated talent, deepened and enlarged, is worth one hundred shallow faculties.” – William Matthews

    There is an ‘acre of diamonds’ in every man, but without the tools and skills to extract it, he might as well die a pauper. God will neither dig it nor refine it for us. It is our responsibility to make the most of what God has given to us.

    Myles Munroe rocked my world when I read his book on ‘Potential’. In that book, he said one of the most profound things ever said – “The richest places on earth are not the diamond mines in Johannesburg, Saudi Arabia or Russia but cemeteries. For there are buried gifts never used, riches never known and wisdom never spoken.” I have improvised because I cannot remember his exact words, but that is the thrust of his quote. That just blew me away. I remembered meeting him in Tokyo, Japan, in 1998 and spending a few days together in the same hotel as guests of our mutual friend, Rev. Sylvester White. I could not help but thank him profusely and repeatedly for his profound revelation.

    “One principal reason why men are so often useless is that they neglect their own profession or calling and divide and shift their attention among a multitude of objects and pursuits.” – ​​​Nathaniel Emmons

    Many don’t explore and dig out enough of the profound treasures embedded in them. I say it often enough – your MIND is your MINE. It’s just like each person has their own private oil deposit, or as we commonly call it in Nigeria, an oil block. Each man/woman is a Mobil, Chevron, or Texaco.

    It is, therefore, a shame for anyone to die in penury. It is inexcusable, unnecessary. Let me close with these words:

    Find your gift!

    Train your gift!

    Use your gift!

    The more you use your gift, the more it becomes relevant, the better it is and the greater your impact in the world.
