“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow” James 1:17, Berean Study Bible.
My sister, God can’t use you to the greatest extent if you continue to not cooperate with Him. God has a kingdom agenda and a way to bless you and others, but you’re going to have to obey what He has been nudging you to do. Every good and perfect gift is from above. His gifts are perfect because they work every time without fail. There are things you can do that would take someone else hours or days to accomplish, but because you have a gift, it only takes you a matter of minutes. There are things you can do that cause people to say, “Wow! How did you do that?” That “Wow” is an indicator of a good and perfect gift from God. The Lord believes in you, I believe in you, your family and friends may also believe in you, but none of that matters if you don’t believe in yourself.
You’re not dreaming and you’re not crazy. My sister, your gift really is that amazing and that good! Your gift really does have the potential to bless the lives of many people. Maybe life hasn’t been fulfilling for you, but know the moment you turn your face towards the direction of obeying God where your gifts are concerned; you will sense His peace and His joy rising. That is your indicator that this is God’s will. There is great fulfillment in doing what we were created to do. So, no more hiding, ok? God designed you to function and produce fruit. I declare you will not be barren in your knowledge of Jesus. You will produce visible and tangible fruit of your knowledge of Him. You will function in the way He designed you to function, His kingdom will be advanced, you will be blessed, and you will be a blessing in the lives of others!
Prayer: Thank you, Father, for speaking to me. I gladly receive your love and correction. I know you have placed gifts within me. Forgive me for not using them. Forgive me for not being confident in what you’ve given me. Help me to obey you where my gifts are concerned. Help me trust and obey you. I know I was created for more, and you will be glorified in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
(Read Matthew 25:14-30; 2 Peter 1:8)

I truly appreciate your devotionals as I have been tuned in for about 5 years. This truly helped me get out a dark place and stay out of it. Some of my personal challenges were addressed without fear and I appreciate that. This is a wonderful reminder that living in God’s will and in obedience will allow my gift to flourish and shine.

Our good and perfect gifts truly do come from the Father of lights and so many of us allow the words of others whom we look up to penetrate our minds and go to our hearts rendering our ability (gifts) void and null, but we must regain our confidence in God not man so that we may fully operate in all that he has called us to be in Christ Jesus.Thank you so much for this it has reawakened my spiritual confidence in who I really have to show accountability to🥰
Lord thank you from bringing me out of my shell. It is a blessing, to used your gift what God had giving you to help other.
Father, thank you for showing me through my sister, Kesha and RJ, and all my sisters who commented and haven’t commented but received this correction and encouragement today, that we are not alone. We have been called and commissioned to advance your kingdom in our generation, this era filled with wickedness and anti-Christ values, morals and principles. We, your elect are chosen to use our gifts in the now to bring you glory. Some of us, whose purpose is so big it is almost unbearable when trying to perceive just how many will be blessed by our answering our callings and using our gifts to advance your kingdom. Your sovereign hand is heavy upon us. Some of us feel inadequate and long to respond but are afraid. Help our unbelief. Still our hearts so that we will observe the might of your incomparable wisdom, sustained by your grace and empowered by your Spirit to do your will. I pray that each one of us be willing to do the work required with boldness and place our confidence in You.
I pray for my sister Kesha, our forerunner. I pray that her endurance never fails and that you surround her with warriors from the heavens that are charged to keep her in sync with your Spirit, and protect her so she neither stumbles or is depleted. I come against the enemy of our souls and decree that in the midst of her mission her dream expands to levels she never imagined. Do it because when no one believed but her, she walked in obedience and chose to live a life poured out.
Now, to the One who is able to present each and every one of us faultless before His presence in glory, be majesty, dominion and power forever. May we go forth in the name of Jesus the Christ. We will be obedient and devote our gifts to advance your kingdom. Be glorified in us. Amen.
