- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on, uh huh, I sure will.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Good morning everybody.
- 0:06Speaker 1: You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
- 0:10Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Man.
- 0:15Speaker 1: What an amazing blessing. God has given me, my health,
- 0:20Speaker 1: my dreams, all of it. God gave it to me.
- 0:25Speaker 1: I accept it. I work hard, but man, oh man,
- 0:28Speaker 1: oh man, I work hard. It's something that He gave
- 0:31Speaker 1: me a gift. And that's what I want to talk
- 0:34Speaker 1: to you about today. Because God has gifted everyone, so
- 0:39Speaker 1: I can't help but believe it. You are gifted in
- 0:41Speaker 1: some way. Something about you is specially and unique. That
- 0:46Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're the only one that can sing? Are
- 0:49Speaker 1: you the only one that can write? Are you the
- 0:51Speaker 1: only one that can draw? You the only one that
- 0:53Speaker 1: can decorate? Are you the only one that can network?
- 0:57Speaker 1: Or you're the only one that does not what it means?
- 0:59Speaker 1: Or you have a great scientific mind, or you can
- 1:01Speaker 1: figure things out, or you're good at problem solving. You're
- 1:04Speaker 1: not the only one, but you are a unique individual.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Nobody will travel the exact path that you're on. Nobody
- 1:10Speaker 1: will have everything happen in a series of circumstances in
- 1:15Speaker 1: the order that you're going to have it happen to you.
- 1:17Speaker 1: That's what I mean when I say that you are unique.
- 1:21Speaker 1: But now because you are gifted, you know you have
- 1:24Speaker 1: something you have to do. You know, there's a scripture.
- 1:27Speaker 1: It's in Proverbs, Proverbs eighteen and sixteen. I've been trying
- 1:31Speaker 1: to be a little bit better at that for you, you know.
- 1:33Speaker 1: So when I have an idea and I know where
- 1:36Speaker 1: it is, I have somebody look the scripture up from
- 1:38Speaker 1: men handed to me. So it's in Proverbs eighteen sixteen.
- 1:43Speaker 1: And this is the layman's term of it. It says
- 1:45Speaker 1: a man's gift make room for him and brings him
- 1:49Speaker 1: before great men. It is your gift that will make
- 1:54Speaker 1: room for you. Now my interpretation of this is this.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Now I could be wrong. Please go to your local church,
- 2:00Speaker 1: senter God, temple, mosque, whatever you do, and go get clarification.
- 2:04Speaker 1: But what my gift has done in making room for
- 2:07Speaker 1: me is I've taken it almost in the literal sense.
- 2:11Speaker 2: My gift has actually made room for me. It has clear.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Paths for me. My gift has opened up doors for me.
- 2:18Speaker 1: That's what I take it as. It'll make room for you.
- 2:21Speaker 1: My gift has has broadened my ability to travel. My
- 2:25Speaker 1: gift has opened my eyes to fashion. My gift has
- 2:30Speaker 1: caused me to be able to provide for my family.
- 2:34Speaker 1: My gift has caused me to be able to reach
- 2:38Speaker 1: more people. That's what I'm saying in terms of it
- 2:41Speaker 1: will make room for you. That that may be another interpretation.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I'm just telling you how I took it, that it
- 2:46Speaker 1: has worked out pretty good for me to that understanding.
- 2:48Speaker 2: But I'm pretty sure Bishop Jakes, Joel old Stein.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Ken if Ohm you know God, Glenn Staples, Bishop Glenn's Table,
- 2:56Speaker 1: these guys give you much better understanding of it.
- 2:58Speaker 2: I'm just giving it to you, you know way I
- 3:00Speaker 2: know how sold.
- 3:01Speaker 1: I don't know. I just like to keep it right there.
- 3:03Speaker 1: But and then it says that it brings you before
- 3:07Speaker 1: great men. I mean, you know it's gonna take your places.
- 3:11Speaker 1: It's gonna take your places you never thought of going.
- 3:14Speaker 1: You're gonna meet people because of your gift. I told
- 3:17Speaker 1: my son, who two of them are good photographers. You'll
- 3:20Speaker 1: be taking pictures of great men. And then I mess
- 3:23Speaker 1: with him. You already take the pictures, say your daddy.
- 3:24Speaker 1: You know I'm messing with them like that. But that's
- 3:26Speaker 1: just me and them just kicking it. But you know,
- 3:28Speaker 1: but one day, who knows, you could be shooting the president.
- 3:31Speaker 1: You know, you could be shooting some foreign dignitaries. You know,
- 3:35Speaker 1: you could be shooting great sport events. You know, you
- 3:37Speaker 1: never know where it could take you. But that's your gift.
- 3:40Speaker 1: What you gotta do is you got to get to
- 3:42Speaker 1: move and though. See, you can't have your gift and
- 3:44Speaker 1: not do nothing with it.
- 3:46Speaker 2: See. You know what that reminds me of.
- 3:48Speaker 1: It's something that my father used to say, get up
- 3:52Speaker 1: off your butt, because you're sitting on a gold mine.
- 3:56Speaker 1: He say that all the time, Boy, get up off
- 3:59Speaker 1: your butt, and because you sitting on a gold mine.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I never really quite got that when I was little,
- 4:04Speaker 1: but now that I'm an adult, I got it full well. See,
- 4:07Speaker 1: a lot of you are sitting. You're sitting on a
- 4:09Speaker 1: talent or a gift that you have. You're sitting on
- 4:12Speaker 1: an ability. I don't care if it's making cakes or pies.
- 4:16Speaker 1: That's a gift, man, that's a talent. I don't care
- 4:19Speaker 1: if it's the ability to do hell, that's a gift man.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Half of you are gifted. A lot of us are gifted,
- 4:25Speaker 1: and we're sitting on it, looking at other people wondering
- 4:28Speaker 1: what can I do to make it? You already got
- 4:31Speaker 1: something to make it with, if you would just get
- 4:33Speaker 1: up off your behind, man, quit sitting on that gold mine.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Some of you are tech savvy, just a whiz is.
- 4:41Speaker 1: When it comes to engineering and putting stuff together and
- 4:44Speaker 1: cables and wires and computers and stuff. And now you
- 4:48Speaker 1: steady looking around trying to figure out, Man, wonder what
- 4:50Speaker 1: I can go do?
- 4:51Speaker 2: How about you go do that? You know it ain't
- 4:54Speaker 2: that hard, man, if you were.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Just take note of what God has given you already.
- 5:00Speaker 1: He has given you a gift already. He has already
- 5:03Speaker 1: given you a talent. Now the fact that you ain't
- 5:06Speaker 1: using it and you sitting on your tail somewhere now.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Who fathers what we're talking about? What you blaming God
- 5:15Speaker 2: for that?
- 5:16Speaker 1: Man?
- 5:16Speaker 2: I tell you what. I sit around people all the time.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Who are gifted, and I'm looking at their gifts, and
- 5:24Speaker 1: they steady complaining about what they don't have, but will
- 5:27Speaker 1: not get up off there behind and use the gifts
- 5:31Speaker 1: that God gave them.
- 5:32Speaker 2: And it's frustrating.
- 5:34Speaker 1: It's gotta be frustrating for you if you're doing it,
- 5:37Speaker 1: because it's frustrating for.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Me when I see it.
- 5:40Speaker 1: So when these people come to me and ask me
- 5:41Speaker 1: for help, I just keep going the same thing over
- 5:43Speaker 1: and over.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Help yourself, man, do for you, use your gift.

- 6:31Speaker 1: got slow men working. Sometime they flip the stop sign.

- 6:39Speaker 1: There's traffic, there's accidents, somebody on the road holding up things.
- 6:44Speaker 2: With a flat tie, its nails, it gravels. This spike
