2Ti 1:6 “Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.”
How often do we humbly consider what God gets out of us? Especially in weight of the unmeasurable investment He has in us by way of the cross! The Greek word Paul uses for “stir up” is (anazōpureō) meaning to rekindle, freshen up. And is used in the present tense, meaning continually doing or exercise of. This is in reference to our spiritual gift/s (gift of God-1 Cor 12:7-11). Not to use our gift from God on a faithful/continual basis is to cheat God out of His investment. Just as you, with your time, finances and resources, expect a return on your efforts… God is no exception!
If our investments are limited to this earth, we’re the world’s worst investors… HSAY
