Gift In The Room by Kirk Hunt
A man’s gift makes room for him,
And brings him before great men.
Where there is excellence or skill, consideration is given by people. Sometimes, too much. God’s people (saints) should always operate in excellence. Your gift puts you in the room(s) to be an ambassador of Father-God.
Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all nations. Your gift, exercised with skill, used in grace, for a Godly purpose, gets their attention. While they are looking, you are preaching the Gospel message directly.
Make no mistake, all of God’s people preach. The mistake is thinking that your Gospel message always involves your words. The way you do what you do communicates a lot about you. And the God you serve.
Your name comes up in rooms you never knew existed. In front of people you did not think or know were looking or listening, and they have their purposes. You, a saint of God, follow the Great Commission.
And when they discuss your work, they dissect the hows and whys of your results and gift. In that moment, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is communicated. Or His Name is blasphemed, if you are a hypocrite.
God’s people are living letters, read by men and women. We are supposed to explain, in detail, how a loving God is searching for all of His children. Like any loving father, God wants to be reconciled with all of His kids. Are you using your gift to help or hinder Him reuniting with His children?
Think: My gift make room for me. Am I preaching the Gospel or something else?
Pray: “Lord, help me to preach Your Gospel, even when I am not in the room.”
