- 0:37Provhaps Chapter eighteen, Vest sixteen. A man's gift make it room for him
- 0:43and bringeth him before great men, and brings them before great men. Many
- 0:51are times in life people fail to recognize the power of honor. And one
- 0:56of the significance of a gift is that it tends to show the world.
- 1:00Gifts in the Hebrew is pronounced matter, which means to present, to present,
- 1:06to give a reward. So just like I said, it tends to
- 1:10show the value of somebody. How much you value somebody. Now, not
- 1:15a gift is what is given without any strings attached. A gift is free.
- 1:22A gift has no intention of getting something back in return. And this
- 1:26gift is not just tied to a man's material things. But it's also tied
- 1:30to a man's service. Most times, when we speak about gifts, we
- 1:36tend we tend to go towards the gifts of the spirit. But the Bible
- 1:40here is not talking about the gifts. So he's talking about the gifts of
- 1:42a man, the gifts that comes from a man. And this gift of
- 1:46a man can be a service, a help and assistance rendered, or that
- 1:52which is done to please somebody. The truth is that a man who fails
- 1:57to recognize this system this is stem of honor, we will find it difficult
- 2:01scaling through some cettain phases of life. Remember, like I said, it
- 2:07is a gift is giving freely, and we can see records in the Bible
- 2:12of men who gave freely, who were not compelled, who did things willingly
- 2:17to God and even to their fellow men. Now, before we look at
- 2:21the Shunamite woman in the Bible, you must know that the gift of a
- 2:24man brings his chirous movements exactly creates chirous moments for him. And what are
- 2:31those chirous moments, the Bible says, and bring getting before what great may
- 2:36make it room for him. Second Kings, Chapter four verse eight. And
- 2:40it fell on a day that Elijhah passed to Shownan where was a great woman,
- 2:46and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was that as
- 2:50awful as he passed by, he turned in titter to eat bread. As
- 2:55she said to her husband, behood, Now I perceive that this man is
- 3:00a holy man of God, that this is a holy word man of God,
- 3:04which passed by us continually consistently. Let us make a little chamber,
- 3:08I pray thee on the world. And let us set for him there a
- 3:12bed and a table, and the two and a candlestick. That it shall
- 3:15be when he coments on to us, that he shall turn into that.
- 3:19And he fell on a day that he came to that that's the man of
- 3:22God, Elisha. And he turned into the chamber and laid there, and
- 3:25he said to Gas his servant Callditionamite. And when he had called her,
- 3:30then he said onto him, say now to her, behold, that has
- 3:35been careful for us. With all this care, what is to be done
- 3:40for d This means that Tishnamite, who man has been consistent in rendering a
- 3:46service, who can call it nowt a gift giving to the prophet Elishah.
- 3:52And from the look of things, you see that she did everything from a
- 3:55heart willingly, not first not coerced willingly. So then Elijah and her asked
- 4:00her, you know what should be done for you for all these things that
- 4:04you have done? So Elijah said, and he said unto him, saying,
- 4:08now to her, beholder has been careful for us, with all his
- 4:10care, what's to be done for them? Wouldst thou be spoken for to
- 4:13the king? So Elijah had the connections to the king. He had the
- 4:16capacity to bring her to the king, to connect her to the king.
- 4:20You see, then I said, or to the captain of the host.
- 4:24And then she said, as she answered him, and said, I dwell
- 4:28among my own people. This is an answer of content, This is an
- 4:31answer of satisfaction. Truly she did or from genuinely from I had free After
- 4:38was the Bible records that Elisha found out that she did have a child,
- 4:41and then he prophesied to her a child. The gift of a man actually
- 4:46makes room for him and brings them before kings. See, it is difficult
- 4:50to give gifts when you don't see when you door recognize the value of others.
- 4:57Remember that woman said she perceived. He didn't say I am a man
- 5:00of God, Elisha, do not tell her that I'm a prophet. But
- 5:02she perceived. She was sensitive. And that is and that means there are
- 5:06people that are around our lives. There are specific individuals that God brings us
- 5:13in contact with. Find a system of honor and place in their lives.
- 5:17No matter how familiar you'll become with such a person, find the system of
- 5:24honor. This is al the same way when the Bible says, oh,
- 5:26not your father and your mother, it's the same find a system of that
- 5:31is value. Your mother and your father showed them that you value them.
- 5:36Don't you see that? In order for Isaac so to rise up to bless
- 5:41Jacob, there are to be something from Jacob. There are times that your
- 5:46gifts, this is your gift that speaks for you. It is your gifts
- 5:48that puts your name in the hearts of King, that puts your thoughts,
- 5:53that brings you to their thoughts. It is your gift, and that your
- 5:57gift is determined by your system or value of how much you value them.
- 6:01If you must go higher, then you must learn to give to people that
- 6:05are higher. You must learn to give to great men. Don't always be
- 6:09on the receiving side. Learn to show them that you value them, that
- 6:13you value their works, that you value and aspects of their lives. The
- 6:16potency of your gift is determined by how much it solves or how much it
- 6:21pleases and other Just like the shunami woman tried to make things easy for Elisha,
- 6:29and that person we can see is David. David had musical skills,
- 6:31a gift, and that's why he was able to save in the King's palace.
- 6:36Looking at King Solomon, the Bible records that he offered a thousand bonds
- 6:41office and long story shorts, we see that kings came to him because ahead
- 6:46of what is great wisdom. So the truth is that the gift of a
- 6:49man begins with honoring, with the spirit of honoring men. Even Jesus knew
- 6:58how to honor men, and as the son of God. Remember the feeling
- 7:01of five thousands or four thousand, Remember the multiplication of the fish, Remember
- 7:06the coin in the fish mouth or Caesar Mordicaia. Mordicaia was celebrated. This
- 7:13was because the king realized that Melicaia had done a gift to the king yes.
- 7:18If you want to be close to great people, then you must value.
- 7:24Then you must value, You must find out their values, and you
- 7:27must learn to honor their values. Learn to always be of help, be
- 7:32eager to give, be eager to appreciate, be eager to show them a
- 7:39sense of honor. The gift of a man starts with the heart of honor.
- 7:46No matter how skillful or talented you are, if you don't know how
- 7:50to give freely, if you don't know how to gift, if you don't
- 7:56know how to save willing freely, it will be difficult to find in your
- 8:00chirost moments in life. I remained a fake campaign of Christ. Remember be
