I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.  For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:6-7
The Lord promises success to you as His child. However, there is one thing that God has given to you that is very powerful, that is your gift. Your gift is very important in the School of Progress.  Everyone who succeeded in life learned how to maximise their gifts.
In the Bible we are given the account of a young man who became very successful. His name is Joseph. Joseph had the gift of interpreting dreams. Until Joseph began to operate in his area of gifting he continued to languish in prison. Joseph interpreted dreams for three key people namely the butler, the baker and Pharaoh.
Knowing your gift and then functioning in that gift is the doorway to the world of success. Every person is specially created by God to fulfil that purpose which only that person can. The potential in you cannot be possessed by some one else to the degree that you have. If the talent or gift or potential in you can be totally or successfully put to good use, you will achieve breakthroughs which will make you a great success. Take a close look at your self, at your gifts and your abilities. Ask yourself, “What I am good at and what do I like doing?” Sometimes it may not even be the course you are studying at the university or college that will lead you to the top even though you may be getting good grades. Some times it may not be the job you are doing now. Did you know that life is like the earth with huge deposits of precious minerals? Those minerals remain idle until they are discovered and unearthed. It is very important for you discover the divine deposits in you. The divine deposits in you are gifts and talents. The rod for stirring the gift of God is the word of God. The gift of God is stirred by continually listening to the word of faith. Let your gift be stirred all the time
