2 Timothy 1:6 AMP That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination].
Whatever vision or gift or calling you have received from the Lord needs a STIRRING UP through PRAYER or else it might fade out.
Paul said to his son Timothy,
‘That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God’
Two people might receive the same gift/vision but one’s gift might be alive and the other dead, due to how they both maintain and utilise the gift. It’s like the story of the talents which Jesus narrated in Matthew 25, where instead of putting to use his talents, one guy went to bury it. Most of us, God’s people are like that guy, we have buried the visions and graces and giftings which God has freely lavished upon us, and we walk on in darkness as though we were never anointed. But we were supposed to STIR UP that gift, fan the flames of that anointing you have received, rekindle the embers of that vision. Keep that fire burning so it can be of use to you and to many. But how can I do that?, one may ask.
BY CONSISTENT PRAYER keep the fire burning. Don’t let it dissipate into ashes. Then as you do that, don’t stay idle, STEP OUT AND ACT on the vision. As you pray on your vision, you will receive more clarity and much details on how to proceed with it. Then with that you break down the big vision into smaller units and take daily steps to bring that vision to pass.
And before you realise, your vision which was like a little fire has become a wild bush fire that cannot be stopped. Hallelujah.
Beloved STIR UP the gift of God within you. GO AFTER THAT VISION GOD HAS PLACED IN YOUR HEART. YOU ARE GREATLY ANOINTED FOR THIS. Be blessed. Amen!
GRACEFUL MORNING
