And that knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand; let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Romans 13:11-12
All giants are unique. No one is a giant at nothing. There is no giant in nothing. There are giants in Medicine, Law, Science, Sports, Ministry, and among a host of others. Every giant is always found in the company of the great. There must be something in a man that turned him to a giant whose company is now among the great. The answer is GIFTINGS. The gifting of a man are wings on which he flies to the company of the great. “A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men”. Prov. 18:16. Your entry permit to the company of the great is a discovery and optimum utilization of your giftings. JUST LOOK INWARD. Either what woman having ten pieces of silver ten pieces of silver, if she loose one doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek deligently. Luke 15:8. No one has ever found his/her giftings, and not become distinguished. Perharps, you thinks theses gifts are not there, or have been removed. For the gifts and the callings of God are without repentance. Rom 11:29. That you have a calling does not mean you are to remain in church. Whatever your gifting are, go ahead and nurture them to greatness. You are not empty! He gave everyone according to his ability Matt 25:15. Never abandon your gifting, it is your ability of greatness. Your gift is: that which brings you joy, that which you are sad when it is wrongly done, what you derive pleasure doing even without a reward, the area of life where you operate with utmost ease and natural delight. Your gift is your distinction. It is the giant in you that needs to be awakened. Giants do not look up to people, rather people look at them. This is largely because success has many friends. Your gifts cuts a channel for you; it gives you a shoe that cannot size anyone else. In your areas of gifting, grace is always available, so that you can say like Apostle Paul, “by the grace of God, I am what I am”.
To every giant in the making, there will always be seas to cross, battles to fight, and mountains to climb. It is one thing to become the head, and entirely something different to remain the head. Do not let off your guard. Eph 6:13 says, having done all to stand. You must always remain a giant. You must always remain a giant because the enemy will always want to come back. BE PREPARED, is the motto of the boys scout, let it be yours too. However, we are more than conquerors. You must be like Caleb whom the scriptures describes as the man with a different spirit. He knew that:
We’re not going under
We’re going over
Inspite of what we sometimes think, hear or feel
The chief commander has gone before us
So we’ve already won before we got to the battle field.
You must possess the winning spirit. No one can through personal efforts wake the giant within, except through the Winning Spirit, the Holy Spirit. He saw in Gideon what he could not see in himself. You need Jesus Christ for the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to that giant lying in coma right on your inside. Remember, many lights will never rise, let alone shine till the giant in you is awake. The slaughter of Goliath by David awakened the giants in his servants, and got them enlisted also as giant killers.These four were born to the giant in gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hands of his servants. I Sam 21:22. Come to Jesus Christ, confess and repent of all your sins today. He will endure that the giant in you will rise.
