FIND YOUR GIFT | Dr. Myles Munroe Motivational Speech

i recommend that we gotta be careful about the temptation the temptation is is trying to do everything that's the temptation you must decide to concentrate on one gift and stir it up everybody say one and stir it up come on say one and stir it up say it loud one and stir it up so i will decide to do one thing and stir it up tell your neighbor make a choice choose one and stir it up i don't care how many gifts you have don't let them distract you you decide which one you're going to stir up because the one you stop will let the others follow the bible says stir up your own gift don't mimic the gifts of others paul told timothy do what stir up the gift paul says i can't stir it for you bahamas say story paul says i i can't stir your gift for you i can't activate your gift for you he says you got to do that yourself you know what people spend most of their time doing being jealous of other people's gifts some folks are jealous of me they ain't got time to get on with what they're doing don't waste your time on jealousy friends jealousy is a gift robber jealousy is a energy fleek [Music] genesee jealousy will take away from you the passion of life you should be so so committed to stirring your gift that you don't have time to feel sorry about yourself stirring what does it mean to stir stirring stirring your gift to store your gift write this down very important definition the word used there it means this right it means to turn [Music] secondly it means to refine thirdly to develop interesting word next to sharpen next to enhance it's a powerful word and next to improve and i like the last definition that they have for this word to use everybody say to use look at that word it means to turn to refine to develop to enhance and to use paul says store your gift use it develop it refine it that's where education comes in education can't give you a gift but it could refine your gift you need to develop your gift use your gift proverbs 17 verse 8 it's a verse that you probably never saw before and it says this verse 8 proverbs 78 says a gift is a precious stone in the eyes of him that has it whether so ever it turn it it prosperate he oh i want to just shout on that i'm gonna say it again the bible says a gift is a precious stone to he that has it and whether so ever he stirs it or whenever he stirs it up it turn it into prosperity [Music] wow he says if you use your gift he'll prosper do you know most of us are working for money and that's a lousy god to work for and some of you are so tired and you're still broke i still gotta get over this the last few months i've been thinking people work all that life i ain't got nothing i mean that must be depressing you work for 50 years what you got nothing i'm even still renting up an apartment that's frustrating maybe you're a little old right now maybe you're 58 years old 62 maybe hitting 70 hard and you're saying for the miles where were you 50 years ago i'm too old now i ain't got no energy and no time left to stir no gift but i've come to tell you that's a lie god found so many old people who had already retired and god refired them and those people have become characters in history because they started over when people thought it was over your gift will give you your youth back your gift will give you your energy back your gift will cause you to come out of the wheelchair and and get rid of all them all talk about about dying your gift will give you back your energy and your strength you have more oxygen when you get your gift how do you think abraham was able to go to bed with that woman [Music] god blew a gift in the guy you could have a baby abraham said i believe you lord come on sarah let's get on listen sarah was not impregnated by an angel abraham was in good shape at 78 [Music] and the bible says the baby came at 100 the guy was still going like a locomotive why you know at age 75 the bible says abraham had no children his wife was barren and she was depressed and abraham was sad and abraham was complaining saying you've given me an oc but when god told him you were born to have a child your gift is to give the world the seed for christ to come through abraham says oh yeah all of a sudden abraham adrenaline sat running some of you look so depressed you need to get your gifts stirred up maybe you'll get married ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 10 says whatever your hands find to do do it what with all your might whatever your hands find you do it what all your might never let me tell you what god means by that god says look find something that you could put your whole life in now most of you if you like the average norm you are working toward retirement so you can't wait for five o'clock to come every day because you hate this place and there's no relationship to your work and your vision there's no relationship between your dream and your present life and that's why you hate the present experience i've come to tell you tonight brother if you find your gift your gift will give you energy and strength and passion and like god says your hands will do with all its might if you just do things haphazardly you can always be employed if you just doing enough to get by you are simply going to be an employee but if you decide that i'm going to find something that is mine i think about this old man his name lewis armstrong the jazz artist did you know i read a story the other day an article on his life and they said that louis armstrong reported and applied to go to music school and they accepted him and brought him in for an audition and louis stood up in the front of the class and started to sing they gave him the skill to sing he can only make the first two notes and he tried and the and the story says that he cried because they rejected him from the music program they said you don't have what it takes but louis armstrong made a statement after that they said he said to his friends after he was expelled from the music department he says i know there's music in me and they can't keep it up well did he prove them wrong [Music] i see dreams in the sky yeah i mean the guy sold more than you ever sold got more money don't you laugh at him he got more money than you could ever have and you could say what's the difference he put his life into what he knew he had on the inside and it made room for him louis armstrong is eternally etched in the history of music we can't get rid of it i think with michael jackson yes our famous friend i know yes here we go again mikey you know mike if you're watching this program i'm proud of you i really am mike is doing more with his gift than you saints four years old i remember man black and white tv three inches big oh back then that's all we had black and white three inches big and i saw this little guy i mean he was singing dancing at four and he never left his gift he wasn't always famous [Music] but he kept on and that jackson five man them guys they put their life into it they used to go to school part-time [Applause] don't you get mad at them [Music] they were they were possessed by music now for mike to show up 60 seconds on a coke pad it's 280
