Awakening The Sleeping Giant by Blessytee(f): 12:15am On May 30, 2016
You have a talent in you that you are yet to uncover.Perhaps,you have discovered it but you are shy or you think you cannot do it (the talent is the sleeping giant).Note this,you will not have it if you cannot maximize it.God has given you that talent for you to use it for His glory.Do not bury it.
God gave you that talent with a commandment,"occupy till I come." You are to maximize it till He returns.The Bible tells us in Matthew 25:15-30 that whosoever that does not obey this instruction will be punished.
Let us study these testimonies.
1. Moses was slow of speech,he was not eloquent (Exodus 4:10-12).Yet,God used him for the mass exodus of Israelites from Egypt to their promised land.I believe you know how God helped him before the mass exodus and after.You know the discouragement on the way.Yet,he was steadfast.Be steadfast,even when you are discouraged (Exodus 3:7-12).God knew Moses was not eloquent,yet He called him because "God does not call the qualified,but He qualifies the called."
2. Gideon was the least in his family,a poor family (Judges 6:12-16; 8:22),but God used him to deliver Israel (a great nation).God can use you to save your nation.Do not doubt this because God who did it for Gideon is still the same.You just have to surrender ALL to Him.
3. Mephibosheth was lame on the feet.His contemporaries saw disability in him,and of course,he cannot dine with a king,but,we have a God of possibility whose ways are different from the ways of men.It is not about what people see in you (or think) nor what you see (maybe you think you are weak) but it is what God sees.Therefore,allow God to do His work in your life.
4. Jesus was not born with a silver spoon in His mouth.Yet,His life is a blessing (blessing to those before Him,during His time and after Him).You might say that He is God in flesh.Therefore,He can do anything irrespective of His status,that He has the power,but,did you know that He came to this world not only to die for your sins,but also came to show you the way? To show you the example that irrespective of your status or background,you can become anything in life.You just have to be diligent in your business,be faithful in little and do not despise small beginnings.

How can you utilize your potentials?
You can only utilize it when you awaken it,which can only be possible when you have the Holy Spirit.Peter was full of fear before Pentecost,but,after Pentecost,the sleeping giant in him was awakened.That was why he became bold.
Pray for the help of the Holy Spirit.
Remember,you will be punished if you do not maximize it.God bless.
