…and you’ll WIN it!

  Let me get this straight… God’s will is always perfect!

Have you ever wonder on how and why you feel that certain urge on aiming or becoming something a certain goal or person as you go through life? The dream you always want to achieve… Gifting that you want to share with… Talent that is something you can use to make a big difference.

Well guess what, here’s the big news!

News Flash: God planted those things!

God planted those dreams, gifts, and talents in your life. It is all God’s plan. As you can see, God is also in a business of planting those desires that we’ve been dreaming / wondrin’ about. He even gave us the gifts and the talents that is for us to use it and make it grow.

Do you know Bezalel? Let’s take a look at this verse
“1 Then the LORD said to Moses, 2 “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts” Exodus 31:1-3 (NIV)

See how God said to Moses, that he already chose someone name “Bezalel” on whom he had given him the skill, the ability, and the knowledge in all kinds of crafts… (in relation to the tent of the meeting, ark of the covenant, and other articles) It simply says, that God is the mastermind of the desires we have in our hearts. He already planned it even before we were born.

And the good news is, God also being the perfecter of our faith, those dreams will definitely come to pass… as one of His promises, we will be able to achieve those dreams and use the gifting and talents He had given us.

But wait! You may be asking, if the desires that I have is God-given and also being the finisher of our faith, why am I still not receiving it? Well, here’s the thing… As God as the giver of those desires, talents, skills, etc… and also being the perfecter of our faith… there’s was something missing… do you know what it is? Here goes, take a look at this one;

God (giver) —-> ? —-> Perfecter —-> Receiving it!

What’s the “?” or rather who’s the “?”, it’s simple… that’s US doing our part! and you may ask “and what part are you taking about?”. Well I’ll give you at least few things about this;

First, Receiving it by faith, as God as the perfecter of our faith, we should also be claiming it by faith, being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (see Hebrews 11). It’s the faith that keeps us on believing.

Second, Preparing for it, as God had already planned it for us, we should also be preparing for it, As God being the god of orders, He can’t just easily give those things to us, we should also prepare ourselves and prepare our hearts before He would give it to us.

Third, According to His plan, God works according to his great plan for us, yes He gave us those desires, but it is all up to Him on when He would give it to us and where would He be putting us and using it.

Fourth, it is not the world that matters, as it says “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:1-3  (NIV). It is God that matters, it is by knowing him and following him all the way and by then we should be able to test and approve His will for us and We will learn to be sensitive enough to listen and learn to trust more of God and less of us and the people around us. Let God take charge of your life.

Fifth, going back to Bezalel, I kinda’ skip one important thing on the said verse, check this one “…I have filled him with the Spirit of God”. Yes, we should ask and be filled with the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit of God that enables us to do such things, to achieve those dreams, in that we may also know if it is really God’s will, and that if we are filled by His Spirit. If we are on fire on serving Him first rather than others.

Now here’s another thing, it is not the people around you who knows what’s best for you and it’s not for them to find it out either… If someones says, you’re not good enough, or maybe it is not for you well, I beg to disagree… Coz in the first place, God had already planted that dream, that gift, that talent, that calling in your heart and no matter how people and the situations tries to pull you down, disappoint you… fail you… As long as it is God’s will and you’re sensitive enough to hear that it is really His will, definitely it will come to pass and you’ll be able to achieve those dreams and use those skills and gifting he had given you. Just keep the faith, never let go, claim it and you’ll WIN it!
