The ability to recognize our uniqueness as an individual and maintain the same is very important as we continue to move forward in this journey of life. Many have missed it because they tried to be someone else. Everyone of us as a believer are clay in the hand of the Almighty God and are moulded as a vessel to fit for the master use; and when you try to be some else, you are indirectly questioning the hand work of the master that why did He created you like this and why did He mould you into a vessel like this. Every vessel mould by God is very important and is made to fit the purpose in which He has created them for and it is the responsibility of every vessel to locate their purpose and make them self relevant. Romans 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
2 Timothy 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
Your uniqueness is your gift, and your gift is given to you by God to glorify Him and to carry out the assignment that He created you for. Your gift is what makes you relevant in life and your destiny is tied with your gift. Your gift is meant to profit you, you did not come to this world empty, you came with something and your responsibility is to dig deep and bring it out from where it is hidden. The job of the enemy is to make sure that you never find it; but the question is how long are you going to stay covered in the dark? As our faces and appearance are different so is our assignment here on earth. The same spirit but different gift and to serve the same body. I took time to study five of my fathers in Faith who are still making headways and commanding great power in their ministry today and I am so glad to have someone like them to learn from. Bishop David Oyedepo, Pastor E A Adeboye, Dr D K Olukoya, Pastor Kumuyi and Dr Kenneth Copeland. Studying them alone will teach you how you can maintain your unique nature and command great exploit. The same God, the same goal and yet unique ministry. Everyone runs on their lane and focuses on their calling and God who called them. I only mention those who I have studied closely and that does not mean that the majority of other men and women of God are not focusing on their assignment.
1 Corinthians 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
When you study the ministry of Paul the Apostle and Peter you will notice their uniqueness. God does not make a mistake; Paul respects the leadership of Peter but still recognizes his own unique nature and assignment. Paul went forward to say in
Galatians 1:15 (But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. 18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days).
We are to be wise enough not to judge people's ministry just because it is different from ours, doing that without knowing his or her covenant with God can attract the wrath of God towards you as an individual, God forbid. Be patient and don't run faster than your strength; there was a time God showed me something concerning my ministry and I started to make arrangements immediately and the following day He got back to me and said; wait and don´t run faster than your strength, it is not time yet. Friends, there is time for everything because others are there does not mean you must be there; you have a separate call and a covenant with God. You need to know who you are and the area of your calling and then focus on it. Don't allow jealousy and envy to turn you into a vessel of dishonour, part of Satan ministry is to be going to and fro and turning vessels of honour into vessels of dishonour but, he will not know your address in Jesus name. Say this boldly and insert your name; I am Nene Isah and I am a vessel of honour; I know who I am, and I receive grace today to focus on my assignment. I know so many are finding it difficult to locate their gift; I was like that until I found Jesus; He is the only one that can remove the veil that is covering your gift; He is the only one that can repair and re-mould you into a vessel of honour. The kingdom of heaven is hidden, is not found in the surface; silver and gold is not found in the surface; the same way the gift of God in your life is not in the surface (Matthew 13:44-46). Your eyes of understanding need to be open in order to see clearly what God has called you to do (Ephesians 3:17-19). Whatever that is depriving you of giving your life to Christ wants you to remain in perpetual darkness not knowing what your real call is (2 Corinthians 4:4). The decision to see clearly is in your hand; please come into the light and discover your gift by praying this salvation prayer below.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
