GIFTS ARE IRREVOCABLE. PART III

Have you ever noticed that there are people you know who are literally at the same place today as they where five years ago?
- They still have the same dream.
- The same opportunities.
- The same way of thinking.

These people are standing still in life...it's like their stop watch stopped five years ago in life and so did they.

John Mason made a wonderful statement saying,
Gifts and talents are given to us not only that we can fulfill to the fullest the call in your own lives , but also so that we can reach the souls of who are attached to those gifts.

There are people whose lives are waiting to be affected by what God has placed in you.

Whoaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GIFTS ARE IRREVOCABLE - PART II

Most people let others control their detiny.

I need to remind you that, God’s gifts are never loans, they are always deposits.

Gifts and callings are deposits in your personal accounts. You determine the interests on them.

Your gifts are never used up. The more they are used the more value they become.

Step out and use your gifts. If you don’t you will spend the rest of your days on earth helping others reach their goals. Dont allow others to take take over the driver's seat inyour life.
