Be Courageous

Seating in church today and I heard the worship leader sing and i beheld Gods glory fill the room. You just know that it was not the function of a good worshiper but a gifted one. Shortly afterwards the Pastor –David Ogbueli came on stage and the sermon wasn’t just a normal word, it was a message fresh from the throne of God, you can tell how much people get blessed from a message by how much the congregation get excited or by how sober they become, but in all it was just the food every soul and spirit needed to grow. Therein again I saw a gift of God manifesting then I took it upon myself to look just again a dance group- Dare to Dance, came on to make a presentation, and the whole crowd was blessed and at this point I started wondering why I was towing this line of discovery the good gifts, talents and abilities of God.
I then came to see that we all carry a dimension of God in us. This side of God we have can't be expressed as passionately, effective, endearing etc by anyone else save us. When we fail to do or use this gift we rob him of his Glory, we fail to make men say wow God has come to be with us through this man. We fail to help other recognize God has blessed them and can help them do what they should do.
I know there are so many things I love to do that don't just make me happy but also puts smiles, gives hope, produces Faith in people but fear has always kept me from doing them. Fear of how they will take it? Why do you think you can do it and all? I started this work about two weeks ago and I'm dropping it now just because of these same reasons and procrastination set in. I hear God saying no matter how it is do it.
You might never play like Ronaldo, or Jordan, dance or sing like Michael Jackson, worship like Don Moen, Preach like TD Jakes, lead people like Obama or Moses or whatever it maybe but just the way you do it pleases God and brings Glory to him. Don't be like the man with a talent that returned it back to him same way just for fear. Be like the others that used it, got better and multiplied it. The law of use says when you make use of gifts, abilities, talents they get more useful and commercial. Practice makes perfect they say.
Remember Joshua was a great leader but at he had to fight this battle of how, what etc, he looked at Moses and couldn't see how he could lead the people of Israel, but God knew he could and would and three times in the first chapter of Joshua God told him be strong and of good courage, be not afraid. He went ahead to win battles and lead the people into the promise land.
If there's anything you know you should have been doing and you are yet to start, or have started then dropped it or have even started, God is telling you again be not afraid, be courageous and strong, be not dismayed for I am with you wheresoever’s thou goes..Joshua 1:9
Again I say be courageous!!!! Do it, God is with you all the way
