Bible Reading: Genesis 1:27, 2:7
Memory Verse: My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you. Galatians 4:19
Charles Babbage (1791 – 1871) is considered as the ‘father of computer’. He designed several models of the modern day computer, but never built any working model successfully. He had an idea, a concept, and an inspiration but failed to build the product. He was never able to birth his ideas. His theories were later used to build working models which meant he could have given birth to an invention had he gone the extra mile.
The world will only celebrate you for an idea well executed. He lost a golden opportunity. Imagine what the world would have been today if he had built those computers during 1812 to 1819, up to two hundred years ago when he had the inspiration and the idea. Failure to discover, work on and convert your energy and ideas into products will not only affect you, but leave a lasting damage on your world. The big problem many people today have is not the problem of having inspiration.
Inspiration and ideas are not magical, most people have ideas. The trouble however is the inability to birth the ideas that have been conceived. A lot of people have simply given up on their ideas, laying it down in the grave of their minds. This explains to you that there are two kinds of graves. First is the physical where we lay everything that ceases to live and exist. The second is in the mind where all thoughts, ideas, revelations, insights, rhema, experiences and concepts which we failed to give life to die and are permanently buried. This is also similar to the case of abortion.
Whenever we put an end to the thoughts, energy, ideas and inspirations that God has given us, we are guilty of same effects and consequences of abortion. No one else can abort your idea. Only you can put your idea to death. Men like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Mark Zuckerberg, etc are often considered as geniuses. Some conclude that such men are just plain lucky, or some god somewhere has favoured them. They fail to realize that there are principles these men apply which made them who they are.
One area where these men differ from majority in the world today is in their ability to convert and bring their ideas to life. Well, maybe not everyone who failed to birth their idea did not try. Many people try and give up along the way. They concluded by saying perhaps ‘it is not God’s time or ‘it is not God’s will’. The lack of the appropriate knowledge to use in giving life to their idea has made them give up too soon. Such people give up on life, give up on hope and give up on themselves. Little wonder, depression is on the increase. This illustration must cease to be your story in Year 2021. Go all out to implement that divine idea. All things are possible.
