Today it’s about how the gift that God had placed in my life helped others along the way. The other post i mentioned the gift God gave me when I was a teenager. Over those years God was working in my life to make those gifts work in my favor.
It wasn’t by fate what happened in 2005, it was God’s plan all along. The transfer from Florida to South Carolina went very well. The job I transferred to didn’t work the way I thought. One thing i was told was let the Lord lead you down the path to success. What i learned at the beginning of 2006 was this.
God will make it happen for you. God allowed me to be a photographer in 2006. Being a professional photographer was one of my goals in life. This was a step in the right direction for my life. God already laid the foundation in my life a long time ago, all i was doing was acting upon it.
Between 2005-2015 God provided those things that helped me to build my faith in him. Those gifts which were in me started to manifest in my life. Facebook became a tool in my life to post writings about God and other things of spiritual matters. I had to give God the glory because all those ten years God was doing more in my life than I could imagine. You can say it was my turning point to success. From waiting tables to post things on facebook the ministry was to be birth.
A calling from God i was running away from for 25 years. I got to the point and said God it’s yours. I saw your work in my life. I recognized your hand has been over my life. What more could I ask for. God you provided me a good life. A way to succeed because of the gifts you gave me. It all happened at a young age and still you are showing me new things in life.
The open door
The success through my gifting came to me in many ways in those 10 years. The most wonderful thing to tell you is, let the Holy Spirit guide you. The success in my life came from Proverbs 3:5-6
Proverbs 3:5-7 KJV
[5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. [7] Be not wise in thine own eyes: Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
I can lay claim to this because it was with me in 2010 and 2016. Obeying the Holy Spirit, I was placed on a job in 2010. In 2016 the Holy Spirit said it was time to go. God had a bigger assignment for me. It was to grow the ministry that started within those 6 years as i was a waiter. God allowed me to minister and get ministered to while I was waiting tables. Come to find out 2 years after leaving the restaurant it closed down.
Today all i am saying is listen to the instruction of God and seek God on each occasion. God will lead you down the right pathway. From 2005-2016 it started in a restaurant and ended in a restaurant. What happened between those years was all Gods doing. God was helping me to develop my gifts for the next chapter in my life.
The next few days we are going to see how
Eph. 3:20 played a role within my life. How God’s power worked beyond what i could imagine. Some revelations spoken in my life by God, to make me see things clearer.
