Message from Prophet Ibn Ali
Good evening, friends. Tonight, I want to speak to you about something we all have within us—gifts. Not the kind wrapped in bows or the ones you can buy at a store, but the unique, God-given abilities, talents, and treasures that make each of us valuable.
As we begin, let's reflect on the words of 1 Peter 4:10: "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." This verse reminds us that our gifts are not random or meaningless. They are intentional, divinely crafted, and deeply significant.
But let me ask you this: Do you ever feel like your gifts are too small, too insignificant, or even nonexistent? Maybe you've looked at others and thought, "I'm not as talented as them," or "I don't have anything worth offering." If that's you tonight, I want you to lean in, because I have some truth to share.
First, let's set the record straight: You are a masterpiece. Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which He prepared in advance for us to do. Think about that! God didn't just give you gifts; He planned specific ways for you to use them. That means your life—your skills, your talents, your presence—has a purpose far beyond what you may see right now.
And here's something else to consider: Your gifts, no matter how big or small, are seeds. When a farmer plants seeds, they may look small and unimpressive at first. But under the right conditions—nurtured with care, patience, and faith—those seeds grow into something fruitful. The same is true of your gifts. They may not seem grand, but when used for God's glory and to serve others, they can grow into something that changes lives.
Let's take a moment to unpack this. Your gifts are not just for you. They are designed to impact others. When you use your gift—whether it's speaking, writing, teaching, encouraging, serving, or creating—you plant seeds in the hearts of those around you. Those seeds can grow into hope, joy, faith, or even a deeper understanding of God's love.
Think of a time when someone used their gift to bless you. Maybe it was a kind word at the right moment, a meal delivered when you needed it most, or a song that lifted your spirit. Those moments stay with us because they remind us of God's grace. And here's the beautiful thing: You have the power to do that for someone else.
Now, you might be thinking, "But what if I mess up? What if my gifts aren't enough?" Let me tell you something powerful: God doesn't need your perfection; He needs your willingness. When you offer your gifts to Him—no matter how imperfect or small they seem—He takes them and multiplies them. It's not about what you can do on your own; it's about what God can do through you.
Let's take a moment to reflect on this truth with the quote we started with: "My gifts aren't just for show, oh no—they're seeds I plant so others can grow. I'll use what I have, from big to small, for His kingdom's glory, I give it all."
These words are a call to action. They remind us that our gifts are meant to be shared, not hidden. They are meant to glorify God and uplift others, not to be compared or kept to ourselves. Whatever you have—big or small—God can use it.
So, how do we start using our gifts? Here are three simple steps:
1. Identify Your Gift: What comes naturally to you? What do others often thank you for? Your gifts don't have to be flashy; they can be as simple as a listening ear, a heart for serving, or a knack for organizing. If you're unsure, ask God to reveal it to you. He will guide you.
2. Surrender Your Gift: Once you recognize your gift, offer it back to God. Say, "Lord, this is Yours. Use it however You see fit." When we surrender our gifts, God aligns them with His purpose.
3. Share Your Gift: Don't keep it to yourself. Look for opportunities to use your gift to serve others. It could be in your church, your community, or even in your own family. Remember, the size of the stage doesn't matter; faithfulness does.
Friends, as I close, I want to leave you with this encouragement: You are worth so much more than you know. Your gifts matter. Your life matters. And when you step into your God-given purpose, you become a vessel of His grace, a reflection of His love, and a source of hope for others.
So tonight, as you go about your evening, ask yourself: What gifts has God given me, and how can I use them to serve others? Don't wait for the perfect moment or the perfect circumstances. Start where you are, with what you have. Plant those seeds, and trust God to make them grow.
Let's close with a prayer:
Father, use every gift You've given me to bring others closer to You. Help me to see the value in what You've placed inside me and to share it boldly. May my life reflect Your grace and love, and may my gifts plant seeds that lead others to You. Amen.
Thank you for listening. May you walk confidently in the knowledge that you are gifted, you are loved, and you are deeply valuable in the kingdom of God. God bless you all.
