THE SOURCE OF GREAT IDEAS

MAY 2ND

TEXT : Job 32:8 King James Version (KJV)

8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

A careful study of history will reveal to you that most of the scientists and inventors who propounded theories that has contributed to massive transformation were Christians. In their walk with God they were divinely inspired to see what others could not. Skill is good, but divine inspiration is better. If you have a lively and intimate relationship with the Lord, you cannot run out of ideas, rather you would be struggling with keeping up and executing your ideas.

If you find yourself not having any inspiration or lacking ideas, it is possible there is something wrong with your relationship with God and as soon as you fix it, you will get back on course.

Sometimes, lack of inspiration may be from the fact that you have not finished your previous assignment from God. Of what use is it for you to be given a new instruction when you have not delivered on the previous one. The Lord once said, “He that is faithful over little more shall be added”.

Once you experience something like this, go back to the last instruction God gave you, and see if you completely obeyed it. Many of the time, not completing your God given assignment can cut off the flow of divine instructions from your life. If you fail to follow simple instructions, the Lord will not see the need to give you new ones. He would wait for you to obey first, before He would speak further.

The vision of God is with an open end, He reveals one step at a time, He would not tell you everything at once. It is when you obey Him in step one, that He will reveal to you step two. A lot of people do not want to do this, and as long as you are not waiting for Him and following His instructions, you are not going to go beyond where you are.

When someone only make reference to when God use to speak to him, He is simply admitting that He is no longer in sync with God in his personal relationship with God.

If you really want to excel in life, then grow your personal relationship with God daily.
