TRINKETS TO TRIUMPH

The Birth

Of Something Big

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and you are on the brink of birthing something B.I.G.! In this season of celebrating your Savior’s birth and gift giving, God is getting ready to give you a gift and it will be the birth of something B.I.G. The acronym B.I.G. is B – Blessing, I – Impact, and G – Glory to God. The gift He has for you is going to be a blessing to you and to others; it will make an impact; and it will give glory to God. God wants to use you to show forth His glory and wants you to share the gift He is going to give to you in this joyous season.

Jesus’s birth was B.I.G. and He was God’s greatest gift. He was born to be the Savior of the world and to offer salvation to anyone who would receive it. Since you received His gift of salvation, now greater works shall you do (John 14:12). The tailored gift God has just for you, coupled with the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8), will be a blessing to others, make an impact, and give Glory to God.

Samuel, the prophet, is the perfect example of the birth of something B.I.G. and the perfect gift given to his mother, Hannah, after years of struggle to conceive a child. Think of everything major he was in his lifetime: raised and reared in the temple, judge, priest, and prophet (1 & 2 Samuel). Samuel even had the privilege of anointing Israel’s first two kings, Saul and David (1 Samuel 10:1 & 1 Samuel 16:13). He is even listed in Hebrews 11 among the awesome examples of people of great faith. Like Samuel, God wants to do B.I.G. things for you too. ‘Tis the season to be jolly and to jump for joy for the gift you are going to get from your glorious God!

With every birth of a gift from God, there is labor pains. These labor pains are from the enemy stepping up his attack trying to make you give up and not get the gift that God has for you. Stay focused and fixed on the fact that after the labor pains you will possess the prize. All of the attacks you may encounter is just an indication that your due date is near. It means that the gift God has for you is in position and about to be in your possession. This is the time to be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58). You are on the brink of birthing something B.I.G.

During this Christmas season, while you are giving and receiving gifts, give glory to God in advance while you are waiting for birth of something B.I.G. In the meantime, make room for the Master’s gift that will be manifested and believe God that this gift will be a blessing, make a major impact on others, and most of all give glory to God. Glory to God in the highest for the great gifts He will give to you. Merry Christmas!
