This is an impeccable story. This
man used the gift his manufacturer gave him to make this brilliantly executed
advert that has helped save the lives of at least 36 children so far. Thanks
to him.
Mothers
of babies whose lives have been saved are grateful to him and I am grateful too
and I can imagine what could have happened to these children if not for this
advert. And that brings my question for you today, whose life have you helped
or saved by using your gifts?
You may
say, “but I don’t have a gift or I don’t know my gift”. My answer now and as
always been is that we have a manufacturer (God) who created us to be like
Himself. We all have gifts in us; there is a seed of greatness and excellence
inside of you, no matter who you are.
All you need
is to discover that gift. If you are yet to discover your gift, the first thing
I will urge you to do is to establish a relationship with your maker/
manufacturer. He alone can tell you what he created you to be because as you
know, only a manufacturer can tell the use of his product.
When this
relationship is established, you will immediately be given a manual who will
tell you your use and this manual is called the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is
our Teacher, counsellor, guardian, helper, intercessor, advocate, strengthener and
many more. Everyone needs him because He
is our spiritual manual.
The Holy Spirit
will teach you or minister to you in different ways but the most prominent way
will be by an inward witness. You will have this urge which does not come from
your body or your soul. It comes from your Spirit; like from your inner belly. If
you understand your body so well, you won’t miss Him because there is always a
difference when He is telling you something about yourself or giving you
instructions.
When you
have discovered the way he Holy Spirit gives you this nudge, the next thing to
do is, to talk to your manufacturer, and the way by which we communicate with
our manufacturer is by a means called prayer. Pray /speak to Him and tell Him
that you want to know yourself better; you want to know why you were created. On
this occasion, He will answer you through this inner witness and open your mind
to areas you could create change.
For most
people, this is an area where they have erred or gone astray in the past, your
manufacturer may have allowed you gone down that route because He wants you to
help others going down that route to have a better life.
For many
others, your gifting is in an area you are very passionate about. The good
thing is that, no two people are the same. I will encourage you to start today.
It is never too late. Age is not even a barrier because the day and time you
get this information and begin to act is the day your manufacturer devised that
you will begin to act, so don’t worry about your age. Sometimes, your age is
required for the application of the knowledge you need.
However,
the wrong thing to do, is read this article and remain where you have been,
that is sitting on the back seat. It is time to move to the front. So arise and
move today.
If after
reading this article you want more guidance on how to move forward, just drop
me a line on the comment page and I will contact you via email on more ways to
start using your gift.
This

This brilliantly executed advert has helped save the lives of at least
36 children.
The Chokeables, voiced by David Walliams, David Mitchell, Johnny
Vegas and Sir John Hurt, features tiny objects giving advice on what to do
if your baby chokes.
It has been viewed more than 7.7 million times.
Becca Hensman, from Aldershot, said she was able to save her baby
after seeing the 40-second advert.

She said: ‘I was sat on the sofa with my 12-week-old baby boy asleep in
my arms when suddenly he started making a strange noise and started to go a
funny colour.
‘It became very clear quickly that he was choking on something. I’d
seen the St John Ambulance advert a few days earlier so I flipped my son
over on to my leg and after the third back slap I gave him he coughed.
‘My dad checked his airway and luckily the obstruction cleared – my
son had been sick in his sleep. If I hadn’t seen that advert I’m not
quite sure how I’d have reacted but thankfully I had so I knew what to do
straight away.’

The animated clip shows a pen lid, voiced by David Mitchell, asking
for the audience’s attention before a red jelly baby – Johnny Vegas
– starts choking and turns blue.
Sue Killen, chief executive of St John Ambulance, said: ‘The success
of the campaign has been staggering, with over seven million views in
our first few weeks, and we are thrilled that people have got behind
the campaign.
‘It’s thanks to them spreading the word that so many people
have been able to save a child from choking.’
