Recently I hear something that provoked some thought on a new concept I am developing. I will just give you a appetizer on this thought.
"There is no promotion without an enemy." If you want to stay where you are in life, run from your problems (enemy). The moment you run up on a giant you are not willing to fight, your forward progress halts. Friends are there to comfort you (maintain) but your enemies are present to promote you.
The greatest hunger in man is not for sex, money or power, these are simple the benefits of discovering the one thing everyone is searching for and that is 'Purpose". Rick Warren wrote a book called the "Purpose Driven Life". He has not only sold millions of copies but they are putting this book in universities and corporations. Why? Because it answers the questions that everyone is asking.
Why am I here?
What do I have?
What am I supposed to do with it?
Who is to benefit from it?
Most people today are living a life of struggling to find why they exist. If you were to ask people in your job, church, family and university, how many of you are not doing what you love? How many of you are frustrated with the way your life is now? How many of you can tell me what it is that God has put inside of you that will bring fulfillment in your life? You would be amazed at the response.
The struggle we face is getting to the place in life where we are living out out of our dominant gift. This is the place where success, significance and fulfillment begin. Everyone has gifts (plural). We break these down to two area. Dominant gifts and secondary gifts. Most people are living out of their secondary gifts not their dominant gift. And the the dominant gift will always run parallel to your primary calling in life. If you discover your dominant gift, you will discover the path of success God has for you.
What is your dominant gift?
Are you living out of your secondary gifts resulting in you being frustrated?
How can you discern your season by understanding the difference between secondary gifts and primary gifts?
How do we move into the opportunity that God has for us? How do we recognize the door?
Come back tomorrow to find out.
Blessings,
Craig

Yea! I can't believe you are going to be that close to us. Live Oak is only an hour from us! I just told Billy about you being there on the 7th and we are going to try to make it for the evening service and bring some of our people with us. Are you going to be coming down any earlier? I would love to have you come minister to our church while you are this close....maybe Friday night the 5th? Just let me know! Love ya,
Shelisa
