TODAY'S WORD FOR TODAY :TAP INTO YOUR CREATIVITY

The Bible says: ‘God created man in his
own image…male and female he created
them. God blessed them and said…”Be
fruitful and increase in number; fill the
earth and subdue it. Rule over…every
living creature that moves on the
ground.” Then God said, ”I give you every
seed-bearing plant on the face of the
whole earth and every tree that has fruit
with seed in it. They will be yours…’’’ (vv.
27-29 NIV). God has given you everything
required to succeed at whatever He’s
called you to do. But you must tap into
your God-given creativity! The Bible says,
‘Where there is no vision, the people
perish’ (Proverbs 29:18 KJV). Every great
accomplishment begins as a vision, and
every God-given vision comes with the
innate power to fulfil it. Others may be
more educated and experienced, but they
don’t have a monopoly on creativity. The
chances are, there’s a ‘God-idea’ inside
you right now that’s just waiting to be
released. By not tapping into it, you’re
settling for less than God wants you to
have. Whatever you feel called to do—
write, paint, preach, play a piano, build a
business, nurse, teach—make the leap
and do it. If you wait until you can do it
perfectly or without criticism, you’ll never
do it! Walking on water begins with one
step of faith. It also brings you closer to
Jesus. You see, Jesus wasn’t in the boat,
He was out on the water saying to His
disciples, ‘Come’ (Matthew 14:29 NKJV).
Only one of them did: Peter. And though
he did it imperfectly, it changed his life.
So don’t be afraid, tap into your creativity
and watch what happens.

NO LIMITS
John’s teaching about the anointing which
rests upon Jesus reminds us that the
Spirit is given ‘without limits’. Pray that
we may come to a renewed
understanding of the magnitude of power
that is at our disposal as we seek to build
the Kingdom of God in our communities
and nations. Jesus spoke in terms of
‘thirsting for the Spirit’; pray that this
thirst may become a reality in our every
day lives as believers.
