GIFT WITHOUT PURPOSE BY ESI YANKAH

I have been born into a generation where many people with the call of God upon their life desire to have a prophetic gift. Though there is a five fold ministry -(1) apostles, some to be (2) prophets, some to be (3) evangelists, and some to be (4) pastors and (5) teachers....they want to see something before they believe they are called by God.

I am one person who because i was born into a Methodist home, schooled partly in America, a typical critical thinker never believed in prophecy or let me say was not exposed to it though my curiosity and desire to know spiritual things has always been there. I can ask so many questions that if you know you are not truly called you will get frustrated with me. I have met people with great gifts and happy to be counseled under the ministry of a great one in my generation.

I can't understand why most people now are dying to have prophetic gifts though the other ministries are equally important. It is biblical so i can understand that. I truly believe that unless you have a purpose, established yourself in something or ready to fulfill one don't desire the gift. A gift without a purpose is useless. Know what you are good at and why God has called you to do on this earth. If the reason you want a gift is to show off, compete or demonstrate pride you are better off doing something else with your life. Doing Gods work especially with a prophetic gift through my observation requires a person to genuinely care about people, be humble, have patience to help them find solutions to their problems, have the ability to hear God on every matter and not exploit people. Ive heard of barbers, hair dressers, doctors, mechanics, traders who have serious prophetic gifts and are using it very well in their work to impact lives and win people for God. It shouldn't always be one way preaching at the pulpit and wanting to be known and seen on flyers. Evangelism and missionary work are also great ways of reaching out.

God will not give you a gift without telling you what to do with it but more importantly you having an idea of the kind of impact you want to make with it, whether big or small, impact is impact. Finding purpose is necessary in every field or choice of work but i believe its even more important in the work of God. Once you are established in your purpose you wouldn't need to rally around trying to impress people, looking for fame and fortune because you have the ability to see more than they can. May God establish you in your purpose and may you find joy and fulfillment doing what He has called u to do.

If you have been running around looking for impartation of a gift or praying for hours and months looking for it be ready to carry the burden and establish yourself in a purpose so that you can put the gift to good use. Be ready to serve people and not people serving you.

GOD CAN USE ANYONE....''A MUST READ''

 It was about eight o’clock when her son who was asthmatic developed some complications. He had to be rushed to the nearest hospital about 1km away or else it would be fatal. She called a neighbor who had a car but the neighbor said the car had no fuel; she called the pastor who said he had visiting pastors from USA and could not leave them alone. She decided to carry the son to the hospital; she could not imagine loosing her only child to the same sickness that had killed the husband few years earlier.

She had a problem with her leg and could not move fast enough and the son was also heavy for her to move faster. Along the way she met people rushing home from work who just stared at her. She tried to beg them for help but they assumed her. She also tried to stop passing vehicles but they never responded. She fell many times but she had to keep moving.

Then a man who was mad and used to roam the streets naked noticed her. He came running towards her and took the son from her. She could not talk but just pointed the direction of the hospital. The crazy naked man could understand perfectly well what she meant since he saw the desperate boy struggling for breath. He put him on the shoulder and told the woman “all will be well” as he ran towards the hospital.

The doctors on seeing the crazy man knew something was really wrong, they attended to the boy immediately. Ten minutes later the mother arrived and the doctor broke the news “if he was brought five minutes later, he would have died” .

God doesn’t have to use Bishops, Pastors, politicians & rich people with cars to rescue or bless you. No matter what may come your way, no matter what u're going through, your life is in His hands & he has good thoughts for u. I know u will make it, For there’s a friend in God who will wipe away your tears. The Word says for with GOD all things are possible.
